Maybe a hard defended draw will throw another contender out of the race (e.g. qualifying matches)? Of course, goals are the icing of the cake and one of the great payoffs when you're rooting for someone or see an exceptional goal, but I can honestly say that among the most enjoyable games I've seen, there are also ones that ended 0:0.
I guess we're different in that sense.
I was never a big sports fan and I only watch the world cup every 4 years so I suppose my enjoyment of the game is a more...simplified one. I can see you're more into it more than I am so that's why I like goals or something like a nice pass/fancy footwork.
