Man i hate ABBA penalty system! Miss one penalty and you then have to go again and if you miss that it is over! Missing 2 in a row with the opponent taking one in between is so much fairer.
Ali Macinally was also moaning about it on commentary last night too!

You guys might not know him, but the goalkeeper you want at penalties is called Gatito Fernandez.

During this season, out of 13 shootouts he defended 8 of them.



edit: Just noticed the video has only 7 of them, sorry...

Do you have statistics that prove that being first or second on penalties give clear advantage/disadvantage to one of the teams ?

Emotions can have important effects on performance and socioeconomic outcomes. We study a natural experiment where two teams of professionals compete in a tournament taking turns in a sequence. As the sequential order is determined by the random outcome of a coin flip, the treatment and control groups are determined via explicit randomization. Hence, absent any psychological effects, both teams should have the same probability of winning. Yet, we find a systematic first-mover advantage. Further, professionals are self-aware of their own psychological effects and, when given the chance, they rationally react by systematically taking advantage of these effects.

You know AEA articles arent free to the public right ?

That having been said the first takers advantage is a pretty common sense and its super well documented that taking penalties first is an advantage.

Whatever flaws in that system of taking first penalty, the ABBAA system does not fix it at all imo and if anything makes it worst! Stupid changes xD

There is always sci-hub. That said, the main point is that there are peer-reviewed papers showing the first take advantage, as seen by the (for free) abstract.

ABBAA doesn't fix anything though. You can still be put in situations where you will have more pressure than the opponent. I liked the traditional one as the one which loses the coin toss gets to decide on which side they'll have the shoutouts. Also, drama is important (=entertaining) at this stage of the game, ABAB has more potential for it imo. Both teams couldn't win the game in 120mn (210mn for a 2-leg game), a coin toss to get a 55/45 advantage doesn't seem crazy to me.

But in this case its your own fault for getting pressured into such a situation. Coin toss is just stupid

Pretty sure Leipzig would beat Bayern like 2 or 3 : 0 with a somewhat fair ref

Since a few years there is a big divide between our refs and their bosses (especially Fandel and Krug who always get accused of preferring refs who are "in line", preferring refs who are simply liked by them and not caring about good refs who may voice some critic/are not liked by them or troubled refs like Rafati). Interestingly enough Zwayer is one of the Refs who got especially called out by Brych and Gräfe(nowadays our best refs and basically the refs who are protesting Fandel the most) for getting preferential treatment by Fandel.

Edit: And then there is still Zwayers history with the matchfixing scandal of 2005...

Not saying that he is matchfixing, but he isn't one of our referees who should ref top league games anymore

Spain copa del rey is the worst. The double leg sytem just kill the magic of small teams winning to big teams. Everyone wants it one leg, but the federation is a corrupt hole of shit.
