    Like I've been telling folks at the office all week, the Brits had been waiting 234 years for another shot at us ... great cover!

    That cover works well for the NY Post, but not for your average daily.

    I like the idea for the spin they used.
    Kudos to the Post.

    The headline is great, the subhead is wrong.
    The U.S. did not play the "British" -- it played England. Unless there were players from Scotland and Wales also on the roster? But no, that sort of team does not exist in the World Cup.
    You'd think a newspaper run by a bunch of Aussies would know this. Or maybe the editors figured Yanks were too dumb to understand the difference :mad:

    I was unaware of the Harvard/Yale headline until this thread and even so, my initial reaction was the Post headline is awesome.

    Really bad headline, Post. You should never list a score as 1-1. Everyone knows it should be 1-all.[/tryingtobeoneofthoseguys]
