| Wyrdness said: Why not the other team has the home advantage, the rule is fine as it is, it punishes complacent play and rewards performance across both legs as opposed to one. In the past you had teams that played ultra dull in the away leg and bank it all on home perfomances to force extra time and all, it hurt the game so the competition responded by not only making every goal count but by also taking head to head performance into count. It's only a problem if you can't be consistent across 2 legs, I know some people are salty over the result but as the rule goes it's perfectly fine. |
In the past was like 50 years ago or something lol and there has already been discussions whether the rules is productive for moder day football or not. I really have hard time understanding your reasoning, the rule clearly rewards performance in one leg. Neither teams were consistent across 2 legs, Atletico held a clean sheet and then let the opponet score two goals, but were rewarded a win based on first leg. Both teams play with home advantage, head to head performance is who scores the most goals across two legs.
This has nothing to do with being salty over last nights game. I'm rooting for City tonight but it's still stupid that if they score one goal, Real suddenly has to score two. The rule also doesn't prevent games from being bore-fests like 1st leg of Real-City, I'd say it does the opposite. If you're happy with 0-0 result at home, something's not right imo.
Maybe away goals to count before going to penalty shootout, no?
