sure, but as an analogy, can you see tic-tac-toe not as an obvious tie but as one round in an epic game of attrition? Would it be fun to see who could win a continuous stream of tic tac toe games, games played end to end for 24, 36, 48 hrs, maybe with no breaks for food? Cage Tic Tac Toe, where someone actually does start losing due to their weaker constitution? While that could be imagined to be a fun sport, just as the soccer you describe is a fun sport, perhaps there is a way to play with some other rules that achieve more fun for the fan, for the player, and which give a sense that you know who is the best team in this tournament, rather than who comes from the country with the better long term immigration policy with respect to the game of tic tac toe?
