Yeah, Americans still don't quite get 'soccer' #fail @badjournalism
Everything I know about people, I learnt from pens. If they don’t work, you shake them. If they still don’t work – you chuck them away, bin them!

Hey, if it's not a loss then it must be a win!

Haha, nah you don't get it. Anytime England doesn't win, it's a win!

Also, let us not forget that in 1950, when USA beat England, British newspapers assumed it was a typo and reported a victory for England instead.

As my French friends said: "It was ze victory for zee Americans, non? Because zey did not let zee English win." Totally justified cover in my books.

It isn't irony. It's classic American thinking. Win, lose or draw? Irrelevant. Declare a win!

It's either a joke, or they don't get it. It's certainly not irony! @lee_ridley

For the record, I realise it's meant to be irony! I just chose to ignore that part!

There're lots of headlines that 'should' have quotation marks around them. Terrible fit on this one!

Or, perhaps, they were trolling?

A psychological "win" at best, i.e. not a loss, should have quotation marks around it.
