2017 National Premier League thread

[immersion]

Two legged football for the most part is usually very boring affairs

Sure every now and then you get a belter of a two legged tie but most of the time it pretty cagey

Why we can't go back to one legged affairs where it either always sudden death or 1v2 winner to gf and loser play winner of 3 v 4 etc

Knockout football where it decided on the day is exciting

Sure give the higher ranked team home ground advantage of your like

But let's get back to what makes finals football exciting the brutal finality it offers

Maybe. I dont think there would be a great deal of difference. I think over the two legs its about as fair as its going to get.

Magic vs Edgeworth 2nd leg was pretty damn exciting. Extra time, penalty shootout and then some form of heated discussion after the match with the details yet to be clearly written. Pretty exciting day IMO.

some exciting second legs in the champions league
Bayern Munich 4-2 Juventus — 2015-16 — Last-16 second leg (agg 6-4)
Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea — 2011-12 — Semi-final second leg (agg 2-3)
Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Malaga — 2012-13 — Quarter-final second leg (agg 3-2)
Manchester United 4-3 Real Madrid — 2002-03 — Quarter-final second leg (agg 5-6) (doesn't seem like it was that long ago)
Monaco 3-1 Real Madrid — 2003-04 — Quarter-final second leg (agg 5-5)
Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 AC Milan — 2003-04 — Quarter-final 2nd leg (agg 5-4) (pirlo hinted that Deportivo could have taken drugs for the match lol)
Barcelona 6-1 Paris Saint Germain — 2016-17 — Last-16 second leg (agg 6-5) (This was crazy)

Some pretty top tier matches in the second leg.

I think you get some boring matches when first plays forth, there is usually a clear difference between the two teams.
