its only there to incentive teams to actually play rather than bunker during the road leg.
but that clearly wasn't an issue today, and now one team is moving on instead of the other because of some bullshit rule. Moreover, many teams absolutely still play more conservatively on the road.

if you stop the clock every time ball goes out of play, games would last like 2 hours every time
it's a necessity. overall play time stays pretty much the same.
away goal rule exists to avoid games going to extra time you fucking idiots
Does no one know why the away goals rules was brought in originally???
Here's a clue: you wouldn't have got 6-6 tonight or the Barca PSV goals without it.
>>74696658

i don't know about 60 minutes, it's a bit much, they'd have to do studies on how long the ball is in play for an average 90

>>74696241

>>74696635
He's right though, fellow Cletus
USA tied England 1-1 in a game that actually counted as a draw, NY Post made a retarded headline claiming they won
In CL, the two teams play at each other's stadiums and the two games' scores are counted together as the aggregate. If the aggregate ends in a draw, the team with more away goals wins which happened today
>>74696241
>>74696713
there are studies, and if i remember correctly the average time the ball is in play is ~65 minutes
too lazy to look it up though
>>74696366
I think it's hilarious when Euros try to defend the sanctity of soccer, as if it doesn't change every fucking year.
I'm a ref and every goddamn year there's several changes to the game. It took them what? One hundred years to decide that kickoffs having to go forward is pointless? Great brain trust over there at FIFA.
The best most recent example would be fouls on "obvious goal scoring opportunities." If it's in the box and a PK is awarded, it's now just a yellow because the "goal scoring opportunity" has been restored with a PK. Outside the box, it's still red.
The rules of your precious sport change every year, in very meaningful ways.
inb4 my flag my post
>>74696738
how fucking new are you
>>74696677
That's not why. It was to stop teams playing for a 0-0 away, this used to happen all the time before it was a rule.
If you scrapped away goals you'd end up with the same kind of Football as you got during the Euros group stage last year.
>>74696783
>>74696750
fair enough then
I don't see why people would be against it, it discourages timewasting with no obvious downsides
I guess it favours big teams a little as shit ones won't be able to timewaste the entire game in the hope of a goalless draw
>>74696765
based or not, it's an inconvienience for tv stations and fans, remember golden and silver goals? there's been plenty of strange rules forced, that's how much fifa wanted to avoid or at least shorten extra time
I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of it completely soon and just went directly to PK's, though that would favor bus parking tactics
>>74696831
how about the fact that home teams are far more cautious when they're playing the first leg at home though?
>>74696806
>it's now just a yellow
only if the defender makes a play for the ball which is why Kosc got sent off anyway
>american ref's knowledge of this sport
>>74696241
MAMMA MIA
>>74696547
In football, it is genuinely harder to play away from home than it is to play at home. The team playing home has the so called home advantage. The two legged system acts as one long game, and as any game, the team with the most goals scored wins. However, if it is tied there is a tiebreaker before the usual extra time / penalty business - the away goal rule.
If a team managed to score more goals while being at a disadvantage (aka the team playing away that match), they are deemed as the better performing team than the other and as such win on the away goal rule. This is enforced to:
a) avoid extra time / penalties, where because of the small time frame luck is a much bigger factor
b) it encourages both teams to play more attack oriented and race for goals which provides for more entertaining football
You can disagree with it, but it works.
>>74696769
that's factually correct, it just wasn't relevant to what I was saying. I'm fully aware of the basic shit you just laid out.

>>74696241
There is a clear advantage for any team playing at home. How would you fix that? By luck? So before the draw almost every team playing the 2nd leg at home would win making it useless.
So the away goal rule makes sense.
>>74696887
It's not "making a play" it's either accidental or deliberate. In my defense, it's hard to keep up with all the rule changes in soccer. It changes more than any American sport, that's for sure.
>obstruction with contact is now a direct kick instead of indirect
They change shit just for the sake of change it seems. Yet, diving is still a problem... Fix your sport.
>>74696900
is there actually proof that it works at this level? keep in mind how much less daunting away legs are these days with all-seaters, comfy travel and the pricing-out of working class supporters.

>>74696241
Well spicy-meatball'd my friend
it's pretty obvious UEFA wanted City, the main challengers to Barca, out
3 minutes of injury time? seriously?
and the ref blew the whistle after 2 minutes 54. why? the only option once 90 minutes is reached and 3 minutes is decided, is 3 minutes + any additional shit that happens in those 3 minutes.
but the whistle goes early. what possible reason could there be to blow the whistle earlier than the time you gave (which was already 3 minutes less than should have been given)?
it's obvious the ref was desperate to avoid one last hoof into the box. because City weren't supposed to go through today.
>>74696923

OK, well why isn't the final two legs? If a home and home is so superior, why stop at the last game?
>>74697211
Because it's the final event? The thing everything's been building up to? If Team A goes in with a 5-0 lead to game 2, game 2 wouldn't be very exciting, would it?
>>74697211
Because the final is played on a neutral site.

this is why we make fun of americans who talk about football, that game was a disgrace to football, but you can't comprehend that because americans are so deprived of culture when it comes to sports they only care about stats
>the two legged, home and home system is superior until the final, most important match
nobody said the away goal rule is perfect, it's flawed but it works, when you have a final you make sure it's the best it can possibly be and thus you remove the two leg system
it also differentiates the final further from the remaining matches as it's a one match decides all which builds up the excitement around the match
>>74697405
It wasn't entertaining though. I wanted to see a match, not a fucking robbery.

With the away goals rule two good things happens:
Encourages away teams to not park the bus and do attacking football
Teams cant settle down to a tie and penalties as that can only happen when away goals are the same. Just one goal difference makes you win or lose, which makes it more exciting and encourages attacking football too.
60 minutes is horrible but i would cut extra time to ten minutes each half or just get rid of it. By that time teams are often too tired already.
Other suggestions are good.
