US sports. Watching soccer requires you to shift your paradigm so that you appreciate and celebrate each goal like you would for each BYU football win.

On the other side, USMNT plays with an inferiority complex against some of the best countries such as England because the English Premier League (considered the best professional soccer league like unto the NBA and MLB are revered globally) is based in England. Anytime any country defeats the US men's basketball or baseball team, it's a big deal because while our pro leagues have become increasingly diverse the core of the league is American. Similarly, the core of the EPL is still British and soccer is still their favorite sport in contrast to US soccer's popularity. So, to come out with a draw while looking like we belonged on the same pitch--maybe even the better team that day--is a big win. USMNT drew a tough group with all 4 teams ranked in the top 20.
