There are important differences in the English Premier League Football from what people are used to in professional sports in North America. First off, there are no end of season series, the leader at the end of the season is the champion. This creates an atmosphere where every league game is important for the teams in contention. The other significant difference is relegation. The basement three teams in the league are dropped, or relegated, out of the premier league to a lower quality league. Three teams from the lower league are promoted and invited to play their next season in the Premier League.
With the rare exceptions the majority of the teams play once a week and most of all of the games are on Saturdays with a couple games held on Sundays. There isn't any shoot-out in the Premier League so a tie is a tie. Or in soccer football terms, "a draw."
