Does it trigger you more than ties?
really stupid rule but /espee/ will defend it anyways
>American posters
it's a retarded rule
Away goals are good, they are ment to make match shorter and dont burn out players too much, without them there would be extra times in every match.
Away goals are fine, but they shouldn't count if the game goes to extra time.
without the away goals rule I doubt soccer would even be interesting at all
the way it is now, away teams pretty much HAVE to score, or at least convince themselves they have to
Because of this, the tie is one from the first whistle on the first leg. The first 90 minutes are just as intruiging and action packed as the 2nd game.
Without the rule many causuals will skip the first game, and if that score is a blowout, now they are skipping the second game two
It would be absolutely devastating to TV numbers and the drama of the sport to remove the away goal rule
Yes, because ties actually make sense - arbitrarily giving the team a win because 'home field advantage' is silly when there's no tangible way to prove that scoring a goal away should be worth more than scoring at hom
