Doesn't stop soccer being staggeringly popular in most of the rest of
the world...  Evidently, the undesirability of draws is an issue for
the USA to sort out, not for soccer.

According to Forbes, six of the eight most valuable s****ts brands in
the world are soccer teams:

  1. Manchester Utd
  2. Real Madrid
  3. Bayern Muenchen
( 4. New York Yankees    )
  5. Arsenal
  6. AC Milan
( 7. Dallas Cowboys      )
  8. Barcelona
( 9. Boston Red Sox      )
(10. Wa****ngton Redskins )
