Yeah, "own goal" is pretty common parlance here in the US.
Sadly, it's probably because of this incident:

I actually assumed it was a typo in the article or something. I've never heard the term before. It reads so odd in context (and like two unrelated words).
But I guess it's pretty self explanatory once you understand what it means.
