tilt?

A tie actually reflects the outcome of the game. Two even matched teams playing to a stalemate.

One other consideration is that soccer awards 3 points to a winner and one point to each team for a tie game. (NHL, of course, awards 2 points for the winner - outright or overtime and 1 point to the loser of the OT). I don't know if 3 points provides incentive for one team to push for a win or not.

and not to diminish soccer but the way the game is played OT's are unlikely to generate a winner anyway.
