USA Soccer, Mexico Tie, 0-0: U.S. Earns Point At Estadio Azteca In World Cup Qualifying

2. It felt like an oddly flat game to me...

I'm afraid the match didn't live up to the atmosphere and budding rivalry. The US didn't really have too much trouble for most of the game and didn't offer much going forward themselves. Mexico should have had at least one penalty and that would have been enough.

Still, one point gained and more importantly, two points denied to your biggest rivals, should feel like a win. The people who complain about 'ties' don't seem to understand that they make the sport more interesting rather than less.

I'm worried about the lack of scoring ability this US team have, and I'm not convinced by Klinsmann as a manager. This is going to be a really tight group and nothing is guaranteed.
