But between you and me, the whispers in the grapevine suggest it's happened more than once. So, next time you see a zero-zero game, remember it might not be due to lack of skill, but a secret gentleman's agreement to play it safe. Cheeky, isn't it?

Why do Americans sometimes overrate their Soccer Players?
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, yet American players and teams often receive more attention than they deserve. This is due to the fact that Americans tend to overrate their own players, teams, and leagues. Americans often value homegrown talent over foreign, international stars, ignoring the fact that international players can be just as talented and successful. Additionally, American fans often focus on the entertainment value of the game rather than the technical aspects, leading to an unrealistic view of the talent level in the US. As a result, American soccer players receive more attention than they may actually deserve.
