what? you thought what?

I hope that you are seriously hung over to think that your first guess when you “saw the paper this morning was that the Post went to press before the gamed ended:…

huh?

This is one of the most wonderful headlines EVER and i dont really give a darn about soccer or any Obama hyped up US-English feud…

but this headline really is memorable and fun and this is coming from a guy who in college walked into the legendary CBGB at happy hour to show all my buds there the also legendary best ever Post headline – “Headless Body in Topless Bar”.

That this one even compares to that headline shows just how great it is.

Thanks for sharing it!

Wait…REALLY? A 1-1 score is not a win? Tell me more, oh, sage.

Got news for you, clueless: Harvard didn’t beat Yale 29-29 either.

Are you one of those people who asks if the Washington Redskins play in Washington, DC or Washington the state?

Unreal.

A good soccer headline in America is apparently pearls before swine.

Glynnis, this site uses misleading headlines every, single day, so I’m trying to figure out what your beef is.

“Glynnis, this site uses misleading headlines every, single day, so I’m trying to figure out what your beef is.”

How about the obvious fact that a tie is not a victory. It is a blatant lie, and they’re in your face about it, and you give them a pass. That’s my beef though.

Um, did you catch the part right below that, Snip. In this case, a tie was a win, since they were supposed to lose the match.

Yea, I did catch it, and know what. Here’s what they should have done. They should have put in “USA TIES” instead of “USA WINS”, because a tie isn’t a damn win! And it isn’t a shocker either, a shocker would be a victory! Not a damn tie!!!

It’s ok snip, I don’t expect you to be able to follow their logic. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

So pretty much you get your panties in a bunch whenever you see a headline you don’t like, but when there’s a blatantly false headline you’re fine with it. Love your selective outrage.

Go, Rupert. Make your employees proud.

Research, research, research…Um, Glynnis your left-wing idiocy blinds to this fact:

The first round of the World Cup consists of 8 groups of 4 teams. Each team plays one match against the other 3 teams in their group. A team is given 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and nothing for a loss. At the end of the three games, the two teams with the most points advance.

So when a team gets a point for a tie, can be considered a win–BECAUSE THE TEAM GETS A POINT. Got it.

BTW, if you don’t know sports, please refrain from writing about them, you are making us women who actually know sports look stooooo-pid.

Oh, and the USA PREVENTED England from getting 3 points. So, yes, it is a win. We get a point, England gets a point, and we, again, prevented England from getting 3 points.

SAH, a win would be the American team getting those three points, not a draw/tie/stalemate. Now stop grasping at those straws, you look like an idiot.

“Oh, and the USA PREVENTED England from getting 3 points. So, yes, it is a win.”

England also prevented us from getting 3 points, so, no it’s not a win.

“We get a point, England gets a point.”

There’s a word for that, it’s called a tie.

Dumb crap.

Indeed, a draw is a draw. Claiming you ‘know sports’ and being 100% wrong on this makes you look stupid, SAH, not Glynnis.

Of course, of course. You guys on the left are always correct in your twisted heads.

Oh and the fact that everyone expected the US to lose (which is what you all on the left would love), is a win. Just ask any soccer real fans.

glynnis, you’re an idiot.

I laughed out loud at this

Brilliant

@SAH “Left-wing idiocy?” It’s soccer. A sport you clearly don’t know as much about as you claim (re-read what mht wrote; the same outcome on both sides is a tie), so relax. Everything doesn’t have to be about politics.

Nice catch from Philip Bump, we public school kids would NOT have known that. :-)

Leave it to The Post! Very entertaining cover. Have you seen the SportsGrid article on all the British covers, guys? Some entertaining stuff over there as well. It’s nice to see everybody having a good time with this. Summer 2006 was the one summer I was up at school during college and it wound up being a ridiculous amount of fun watching Italy’s win among a bunch of American college kids. Who knew?

@Laurie, when you swipe at the Post being a looney rag then it’s political.

Ohhh, SAH…”if you don’t know sports, please refrain from writing about them, you are making us women who actually know sports look stooooo-pid.”

Please SAH, if you don’t “know” English grammar and vocabulary, then please refrain from writing b/c you are making all of us English speakers incredulous! Not to mention women look really bitchy, angry, and ridiculous because of all the anger you have inside of yourself. Please stop, and please stop now.

I shared score of any sport or game is called a tie, love. Not a win. I’m assuming you are American and a right-chicken-winger because you cannot handle any type of loss or non-victory over another country, so you bringing left wing politics into a Murdoch owned shows how addicted you are to George Bush and not addicted to using your brain.

I think this may be the worst Mediaite post ever.

Heya yanks!, English bloke here, in footballing terms it did,indeed, end in a draw, but the US do get the moral victory by being the underdog. Played lads, you sprayed the ball around well and kept it tight.

SAH, I think you are new here. Welcome!! You’ll have to excuse the lefties on this board, they are an angry bunch. Poopies is a great example. He can’t argue what he wrote so he makes comments about your grammar and being an angry woman.

David, It was a great game. I did feel very sorry for your goalie. The poor guy is never going to be able to live that one down. Good luck to you all! Of course, USA will shock the entire world by winning the tourney! OK, that probably won’t happen, but a girl can dream can’t she?

Real sports journalists weight in (Hint: Thread is titled “Could you be more clueless than this person? “:

Ouch! Glynnis, i wouldn’t read SCE1980′s link if you have a fragile ego. I’m just sayin.

David got it right. The USA were big underdogs. You can’t really say the USA “won” because they won “bragging” rights because the tie was handed to them. The USA “won” simply because they did not lose.

Yes, that headline is loaded of sarcasm.

It isn’t trying to deceive the readers, it is sarcasm. IT IS ABOUT A GAME. They are allowed to have fun with it.

Just for the reord, Laurie – I went to Ohio State. Give “us public school kids” a little more credit. :)

Oh Glynnis, now I understand, now I understand… Why didn’t they tell me you were a special person???

Amazing how incapable of understanding figurative language you become when you’re blinded by hatred of Rupert Murdoch. I think the headline is excellent, and only deceiving if you’re stupid.

North Korea WINS!

Can’t we all just get along?

Yeh, I know…
Just kidding.

I saw an american news article concerning the World Cup with a background image of the South American continent labelled as South Africa. No offence to the Americans but you guys always seem a bit daft to rest of the world. A 1-1 win? What’s next? 3-1 Draw?
