Does it trigger you more than ties?
Chase Nguyen
really stupid rule but /espee/ will defend it anyways
Justin Myers

Carson Garcia
it's a retarded rule
Carson Powell
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.
Brayden Howard
Away goals are fine, but they shouldn't count if the game goes to extra time.
Ryan Anderson
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
Cameron Myers
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
Caleb Robinson
First leg matches should have extra time if there's a draw
Alexander Evans
this actually

Away goals are a pleb filter

They have seen the statistics
>Researchers found that a team is more likely to win when playing at home than away.
Henry Anderson
This. One team has half an hour longer to score away goals.
Adam Lewis
I don’t think away goals are perfect but they’re better than the alternative. Also they’re high drama. Like the game on Wednesday, the away goals rule means that a single goal can be the difference between a team winning or losing.
Adrian Kelly
but both teams play one match at home and one match away so they're equal. It should be about who wins more and who scores more goals, not who scores them at the right stadium
away goals rule is bullshit
Christopher Peterson
they also have equal chance to score away goals.
Using your """logic""" everything is already fair.
You don't appreciate how much more boring it would be if the first leg essentially didn't matter, which is what you are suggesting.

Have you ever bet on sports, home field swings odds in a significant way, home field advantage is statistically proven.
If there was no such thing teams would sell their season games to the highest bidding venues and forfeit home games for more revenue.
