Too bad vs very bad

Hi!

I would like to know if we could say very bad instead of too bad in the following situation. A: I didn't watch the soccer game on TV, my mom didn't let me. B:Too bad.

Is it possible to say very bad instead of too bad? And why?

No. The reason is that 'very bad' does not mean 'too bad'. which is an idiom meaning 'That's a pity' or 'Hard luck'.
