USA played well despite drawing El Salvador and there's no reason for USMNT to worry over dropped points

USA played well despite drawing El Salvador and there's no reason for USMNT to worry over dropped points

USMNT can improve, but played well in a scoreless draw to open World Cup Qualifying

How happy should the United States men's national team be with a draw in their opening match of Concacaf World Cup Qualifying? On the one hand, the USMNT should be much better than their opponent El Salvador. They entered the competition ranked 10th in FIFA's world rankings, and El Salvador were ranked 64th. And while FIFA's rankings don't have a particularly rigorous methodology behind them, looking at something like World Football Elo Ratings America 17th and their opponents 74th. However, you slice it, there's a giant gulf. On the other hand, winning on the road in Concacaf play really is quite difficult. Teams play tough physical football, seemingly large talent margins get nullified and underdogs give as good as they get. On Thursday, three of the four matches ended in draws and Mexico needed a last minute winner to beat Jamaica at home. Or, to look at it historically, home teams win....a lot. So, which is it? Should the USMNT be thrilled that they are on track to advance, following the age old adage, win at home and draw on the road, or should they be disappointed that once again, despite a giant talent advantage, they're dropping points? The answer, as always, is somewhere in the middle.
