I could actually point to a few more than this, which is why they now play tournaments and final matches at the same time. it gives the real time pressure of results, such as when manutd lost the title because mancity scored in injury time to beat qpr, who themselves didn't know if they were staying in the premier league until the end of the match. that was pretty compelling sport.
if a person doesn't like soccer/football I don't think that you can blame the points system for that.
