Is this headline for real?
Do people in New York actually think that a tie score is a win?? My husband showed me this tonight and I am just  about it.
I thought the clever headline was going to be something about BP and the oil spill, they missed a (bad taste) trick with that one!!!

Or as my HIGHLY intelligent husband refers to it as "the bible"

Yes, it's a real headline.
It's tongue-in-cheek. Nobody expected the US to beat England, so by us not losing, many people consider it a "win". Just as I'm sure most English consider a tie with the US as a loss, even though they technically didn't lose.

I think the tie is considered a "win" b/c the US was such an underdog and anything other than a loss was a win if that makes sense.
ETA: I sort of considered the tie a "win"!

I was confused too and that is how DH explained it to me.

Exactly. The US didn't lose.

bingo. and after seeing some of the UK paper headlines about how their goalie ruined it for them, this one is nothing.
