My friend(20) and I(20) took his sister(7) to a sports store to pick an early birthday present. I was looking at my club's merch and my friend some national teams' kits when she asked him why he isn't supporting our country in the World Cup. My friend then told her we didn't qualify. She asked when the last time we qualified was.

He and I looked at each other for a moment before I told her we've actually never qualified for it. She looked very disappointed and asked if I think we'll ever qualify. I said it can happen but is difficult, if our football association don't stop 'misappropriating' training funds. My friend pulled me aside, saying there's no need to dampen her mood and depress her like that.
