many soccer games end ties, which Americans don’t like, particularly if the score is 0-0—all that effort and nothing to show for it.

It's perfect for the socialist mindset prevalent in foreign countries. No winner or loser suits Europeans, and zero score/zero sense of accomplishment suits third-worlders.

Just wait until we teach them the concepts of salary caps, revenue sharing, anti-trust exemptions, taxpayer funded stadiums, and rewarding losers with high draft picks. That'll show 'em!

Why not say that a 120-118 NBA game suits the 'gibsmedat' crowd who wants something for nothing and a 55-52 NFL overtime game suits people who have to have a winner or loser regardless of the effort expended by two equally matched teams? It would make as much sense.
