I felt for her, because she was obviously new to non-American football, and the startling prevalence of draws — especially in this World Cup so far.
I have grown accustomed to tie games, after six years of marriage to an Englishman whose team doesn’t always do what its supporters hope. A draw, after all, is better than a loss — even if the scoreboard reads: “0-0.”
As an American with a British passport, I wasn’t heartbroken with the result — at least nobody lost.
