Some of the best games i've ever seen have been with no scorelines. That's the problem (and I say this in a general term due to Double J's comment) why the Americans wont accept it yet.

With a 0-0 scoreline i've nearly torn hair out of my head, thrown heavy objects at the tv and in contrast also praised the goal keeper of my team whether it was England, Blackburn or Scunthorpe.

But I will also defend the US because they havn't grown up with it as being the national sport. You grow up with the traditions around you. If I grew up with baseball around me everywhere, the chances are i'd probably love it too. But being in a country where it is just a fabricated version of cricket I don't.
