Perhaps something that would help many Americans understand the game better is if someone could explain why there are such low scores when "for the whole 90 minutes it was full on dominance by Belgium."

When "full on dominance" results in nothing better than a tie, or at best a winning score of 2 to 1, it seems there may be some liberties taken in the way that phrase is used here. Wouldn't another way of signaling dominance be to actually score a lot of goals? Why isn't that what happens when one team full-on dominates another team?

So if someone who really understand the intricacies of the game could explain how both of those things can be true, that would be great.

Thanks!
