I wrote "Our team is going to be victorious over your team." I am not sure why this would be marked incorrect.

There are lots of way in English to convey this idea that are not yet entered into the key. I think I tried 3 this time and reported them all.
Does "lanakila ...luna o" sound as pompous (sorry, couldn't think of a better word, well, maybe antiquated) in Hawaiian as "triumph over you" sounds in English? In my minds eye a little villain is shaking his fist at his oponent, but I can't see a football player or a fan use those words in English; would they in Hawaiian?
