I have a problem with what it meant to a lot of its original advocates—lots of tie games and no one is measurably better than anyone else.

The concept of a tie result is not a concept that is a development of soccer. And again, the 8-year-olders I'm familiar with go to overtime and then a shootout. In fact, I would argue that the abandonment of tie results in football and hockey have had a detrimental effect on those games.

I would be interested to the hear case in favour of tie games.
