Watching the Soccer World Cup and I admit its pretty fun, but I dont understand why they allow ties, doesnt that make the game pointless? Cant they go to overtime or something?

Easier for point calculation so that it's easier to see which 2 teams will leave their respective groups

I don't know how you can look at the disparate reactions from Iceland and Argentina to their draws today and say ties make a game pointless.

Games in the knockout round will go to extra time, and then a shootout if necessary.

Because teams like to play it safe and don't bother scoring if they dont need to. So once they are in a good spot they start to play defensive and make everything boring

Not in the group stages, in the round of 16 and on there has to be a winner so they'll play extra time and if needed penalties
