표현별 설명

We'll get them next time. 어감: Hopeful and friendly

Use it to cheer up a teammate right after a loss. "Them" means the other team. Don't say it to the other team's players, because it can sound like a threat.

“We'll get them next time.”

영화 속 표현: Sierra Katow: Funt (2024)
We gave it our best shot. 어감: Kind and proud

Say it when the team tried hard, even though the result was bad. It sounds strange if the team clearly didn't try.

“Yeah. Well, we gave it our best shot.”

영화 속 표현: Cold Dog Soup (1990)
We came up short. 어감: Honest and calm

"Came up short" means you were not quite good enough to win. It works after games, and also at work when a team misses a goal. It's a neutral line, so it fits a coach, a captain, or a short report.

“But at the end of the day, we came up short.”

영화 속 표현: Chapter 10 (2013)
It just wasn't our day. 어감: Light and accepting

Use it when luck or small things went wrong. Don't use it when the other team was much stronger, because it can sound like an excuse.
They were the better team today. 어감: Fair and respectful

Use it to give credit to the winners. "Today" keeps the door open for next time. It's a good line for talking to the other team or to fans.
Good game, everyone. 어감: Friendly and sporting

Say it to both teams at the end, win or lose. People often shorten it to "Good game." Avoid it if you sound sarcastic or upset when you say it.

자주 하는 실수

어색한 표현 ~~We gave our best shot.~~

더 자연스러운 표현 We gave it our best shot.

The fixed phrase needs "it." Without "it," the sentence sounds incomplete to native speakers.
어색한 표현 ~~We came short.~~

더 자연스러운 표현 We came up short.

The phrase is "come up short." If you drop "up," the sentence no longer has the meaning "not quite enough."
어색한 표현 ~~Saying "We'll get you next time" to the winning team.~~

더 자연스러운 표현 Say "Good game" to the other team and "We'll get them next time" to your own team.

"We'll get them next time" is something you say to cheer up a teammate. Said to the other team, it can sound aggressive.
