Answer:  WON AND THE SAME

(Hmm!  Another original sounding Jumble pun!  That’s nice.  And the premise seems new too.  This other football – aka soccer – has been growing exponentially in the U.S..  It’s said to be the world’s most popular sport, with both men AND women.  I grew up playing soccer.  It’s fun to play, and great exercise.  My brother and I used to go to NASL games when we were teens, in the 1970s.  Watching it live, with the energy of the crowd, is entertaining.  But watching it on television . . . just isn’t the same.  Some people love it though.

All four clue words are on the World Famous ralis95 clue word database.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new for me.  But we have definitely seen “duoia” in at least one previous Jumble.  All the clue words came to me quickly.  The answer letter layout was a non-telling ten letter jumble.  Expertly crafted.

Fun cartoon of some fans, celebrating their soccer club’s second 2-1 victory!  Two of them are high fiving each other.  Some of the winning players are celebrating on the field, but we can also see the dejected losing goalie, hanging his head in utter disappointment.  Dem’s da breaks, buddy!  I still prefer American Football.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
