I mean there's what, 4-7 shots on goal on average in most games? I think the USA had 1 shot on goal against Mexico back in March in a 0-0 draw.

Yeah, a 0-0 tie between the US and Mexico is sure to get the sport going in this country.

and this kind of sums of a great deal of the problem in a nutshell

soccer is not egalitarian, and it doesn't strive to be. there is also context/history a lot of 'murkans miss

Mexico rarely loses and doesn't tie often in Mexico City. a tie there is impressive. Mexico is also much better than the US, so a tie is really good. we bunkered and played defense and eliminated their advantage. it was a good game

this would make it worse, but people who don't understand soccer LOVE to bring this up as a solution
