Why is Argentinian soccer so low scoring?

[dlowilly]

I would say their totals are a good 1/2 goal below other major leagues on average

I understand it may be because it is slower paced or more defense oriented but why is it like that?

Don't have a great answer. But most South American soccer-players are very tactical.

Clean-sheet mentality, i guess.

Rough games, lot of fouls, time wasting from my observation.
