ALM Semi 2nd leg v Smurfs (Our Paradise)

[Big Al]

I’ve said it before and been right so I’ll say it again, we just have to cope with the press and fight to play through and we will eventually be rewarded. Sydney’s whole game plan is reliant on pressing hard until a team makes a mistake and then hope some individual brilliance happens for them. Lolleys gone, Mak sucks. Caceres can be contained. Their DM’s are weak and backline slow.
Not underestimating them, I am totally confident in our boys though. Particularly our centre mid trio of Niz, Max and Tappy. They are elite.

They miss lolley badly but i think we had more composure as well and found the weak spots easier. Wasn’t perfect but was better. More of the same.

Scoring first would be huge and a clean sheet which we don’t have against Sydney would be perfect

I don't think they pressed us at all last match.

I wondered if the wet pitch was a factor.

It was only wet from Brattan crying to the ref all over the pitch....

No surprises, same as last game.

Why tamper with a winning system.

Glad that Di Pizio is named. Hopefully fully fit.

Big fan of Tapp. He caught the eye from his first game. Very much of the Ballard mould. Big future.

So, is goal difference a tiebreaker in semi finals, or is it only based on win/loss?

Extra time & pens.

Aggregate score. Then if it is even, extra time and pens. So if it is a 0-0 draw, we would win the tie 2-1.

 

[Meerkat]

We have got to score first. My gut is telling me that’s vital.

For me, that is. The boys can possibly still fight back but I could do without the added stress

Sell out yet?

I reckon that whoever scores first is going to go on and qualify for the GF.

Well a draw means we win because of the win/loss, nothing to do with the scores.

What I was wondering is if...I'm not gonna say it...how about this..you know, let's say in another universe, on another planet, in another country, there's a bright green team that won the first leg 1-0, but the lost the second leg to a fluoro pink team 2-0, does that go to extra time or is the goal difference the tiebreaker? I know away goals aren't a thing, just not sure if GD is a tiebreaker.

EDIT: Missed where you actually gave me the answer in the first 2 words and I made the whole thing more complicated than it was because I forgot the term 'aggregate'

GD doesn’t come into it at all.

If the first game is green team 1-0 then the 2nd game is 0-2, then the fluro pink team wins on aggregate of 1-2.

If the aggregate score is a draw, say 2-2 at FT in the 2nd, then it goes to extra time. Then penalties as a last resort.
