Hi If you said 'will' instead of 'should', that would mean that you think the most likely outcome now, with only one minute to go, is that the team will lose. Inevitably, that's how it will go But I'd say that 'should' can also be correct. Then, you are saying - to me anyway - that the team hasn't done enough so far to deserve to win (or draw).

  • If they got a lucky chance in the last minute and equalised then, in a way, that would be unfair on the other team because they have shown themselves to be better Hope this helps, Dave
