The old system with a match and a rematch was better. I am not saying this is why we lost, we should always be able to win against a team like Georgia, who aside from their goalkeeper and Kvaratskhelia have mostly players who play for small clubs, I mean one of their defenders on Tuesday night plays for Panetolikos, which is one of the worst teams in the Greek Super League. We would never in a million years have a player in our starting 11 from a bottom table Greek club like that, yet here we are losing to a team that does... I agree the old system was better, I'm sure you know because Italy was also a victim of this format for 2022, but if anything maybe the matches should be at a neutral location instead of giving one team the home advantage? I'm curious to see statistics on how many home teams advanced since they implemented this new system. copravolley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For EURO it is rather negative sum. Only 2 out of 7 (well, 3 if you count neutral venue for as home...) Home Final qualified EURO 2020 & EURO 2024 (home but neutral venue lol)* & Away Final qualified EURO 2020 & & EURO 2024 However for World Cup this system was implemented only once for 2022 and funnily enough only home teams won the play-off final & Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
