Soccer fails only because it allows ties or uses ridiculous tie-break measures thar have nothing to do with the game. If your team is weaker than an opponent play for a tie and take your chances on a shootout.... they should change the rules so if a game ends in a tie they keep playing with each team one man down. Every 5 minutes both teams lose another man. Playing for a tie would not save a bad team and it would exhaust both teams prior to the next match so there would be a huge incentive to win during regulation time.
On the other hand, no commercial breaks is a huge plus for soccer over football.
