"No se va"?

In the context of people talking about a game that their country lost, what does the phrase "el sabor no se va" mean? I think they were reassuring themselves of something, but I don't really get it. Help?

I think they are talking about the feeling of losing the game, that it still remains, even when the match already had finished.
El sabor no se va. "The taste still remains".

Is the taste (in your mouth) still there?
Can be about triumph or defeat.
EDIT: added "is"

Perhaps they're saying that even if they lost the match, they still had fun and had a great time, and their love for the sport is still there, and thus, "the taste doesn't go away."
