Spurs - Inter

[Athens]

The Fernando got a bloody nose. Looked quite painful.

And he missed a penalty.

So typical of him these days - he dived for a pen, didn't get it, so stayed down and sulked, and then a defender kicked him in the face as he was lying there!

Then when he is given a penalty to take he hits the bar!

Chelsea - Spurs in the quarter finals sounds good. Fucks up their league form.

That seems really harsh. Effectively giving the away side an extra 30min advantage.

Exactly. I've always said that too. It's bullshit.

Exactly. I've always said that too. It's bullshit.

It also gives the other side 30 extra mins at home.

Does home advantage equate to 2 goals?

One team gets 90 Min of away goal advantage, the other gets 120. Seems a bit bullahit.

Damn, I had Inter down to progress to the next round after the first leg hammering.

So close 🙁

No but being able to score away goals doesn't either.

I just don't think it's a big deal. One goal is usually enough in extra time anyway. Also the team playing 2nd match home already has advantage.

And what about the fact in the deciding extra 30 the massive advantage being the home side is

It's not really such a massive advantage with the away goal rule though.

It's called the luck of the draw. It's a part of European football and I love it. You have to work out your tactics home and away. The ultimate test.

Exactly I'd say it balances out against the away goal rule

 

[Woland]

Home advantage in the second leg is more significant than additional minutes of possible away goals.

Just as a slight side. Fuck Spurs.
