Yes protesting Penn St students are telling the world they wish their coaches to sacrifice children or anything else if it helps win football games. An assistant coach reported Sandusky raping a child in the shower and Paterno was OK with that, and when compelled to take action, chose the route to protect his pedo-buddy. Change Penn St Nittany Lions to "The Mighty Molesters" or the "Penn State Pedophiliacs". They obviously put little thought into critical thinking or education into the curriculum. I am familiar with the concept of innocent before proven guilty, but their own admissions damn them by admitting guilt. I am not sure what it says about American society, because most of America did not know who he was, only a few knew he was Penn State's head football coach, and some of them thought he retired or died years ago.

As far as I remember from my youthful church going days, there is no restriction on who or what you pray for, but there is a requirement that you love one another as you love your own children. So scream for both sides in a neutral manner.
On the serious side, teaching a kid unadulterated competition is not a very healthy thing to do.
It is not the completion that is important, so keep your eye on more than one ball or goal and explain it to your kid!

Of course it's ok... but it might be more effective to pray for the coach to motivate the team to win instead

yes it's okay to pray for that...just remember that the parents of the other team's kids may also be praying for the same thing

It's ok to pray about anything.
I would think it would be better to pray for GOD's will in our lives. That would take care of the soccer game and everything else too :)

Why not?
This is what the Bible that I read says:
Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Sounds like a good idea to me. Claiming promises from God and recognizing His hand in all things is good!

Yes, and it is o.k for Him to answer, NO! Maybe you should try praying that everyone will have a safe game and that weather they win or lose that your child will learn from the experience.

You are free to tell Him what's on your heart. And if that is what is important to you, then talk to Him about it. He'll sort out the response.
When I see the psalms, I see the example of someone who opens his heart to God, no matter how legitimate, or not, his thinking is, and toward the end of the psalm, God seems to be working on his heart to bring him to a clearer view of things. So we can do the same.
What God doesn't want is:
"God, please let the other team win" (thinking: "I hope he notices how spiritual and unselfish my prayer is - maybe he'll reward me in some way". He wants sincerity from us.

As long as you blame Jesus when your kid's team loses.

I used to pray to Jesus for all my sporting events. I would ask him for strength and no one to get hurt, not to win.
