Should a Game End in a Tie?

I have been only modestly into the World Cup.  I tend to love world sporting events, but it is really hard to love a sport where at least half the games end in a tie.  Even worse, a low scoring tie.  Who is going to remember a 1-1 game or even worse a 0-0 game?  Anyone remember the baseball All-Star game from a few years ago where they let it end in a tie and how upset the fans were?  After all a tie is like kissing your sister (sorry Laura).

Contrast that with the epic Wimbledon battle from last week.  Three days, eleven hours of play.  About a close a match as you can imagine.  Someone still had to be a winner and someone still had to be a loser.  That is the way sports has to be.  Part of the reason I love baseball is because it is nine innings and there is always the possibility of a comeback.  A few years ago I was on the mound with a 15-1 lead in the fifth inning when I was pulled.  My relief core promptly blew the game and we lost 19-18.  I remember that like it was yesterday.  Sports is about winning and losing even if you are on the very shallow end of the losing side.
