soccer tie
A concept difficult for most Americans to understand, happens when two sports teams play a game and it finishes with both sides having the same number of points. In the case of soccer, one point is awarded to each of the teams if they are in a league. This means there is no winner, something that Americans struggle to deal with, that's why they call soccer "sissyball", and have a trash team and league. They also fail to acknowledge that it's the most popular and most played sport on the planet.
They prefer other "more real" sports like American football and Baseball (aka sports that are barely played outside of the US and that aren't in the Olympics, so their teams call themselves 'World Champions' without even playing a single game against a non-US (or Canadian) team)

brad- Oh, you mean sissyball! Nah, I don't watch that bullsh*t. How did that sh*t game go though?
me- It was a 2-2 soccer tie.
brad- Tie? (has small mental overload) That's bullsh*t! And they only scored four times in the entire game?!
