The Russia National Team coach (England National Team coach before that, Real Madrid coach before that) says Carlos Tevez deserves to be a contender for this year's Ballon d'Or but added it will be difficult for the Juventus ace to beat "unique genius" Lionel Messi to the accolade.

"Tevez is certainly one of those few players that can really make a difference on the pitch ... Messi, however, is Messi. He has a unique genius. He's like Maradona and Pele."

I don't think anyone is surprised Juve won in Italy lol..... Real are still the heavy favorites to go through.  A 1-0 win at the Bernabeu is all it's gonna take.  Imo Juve's only chance is a hero performance by Bufon

Can someone please explain the AGG score to a lame like me.

 

 

Like, I'm watching the game and in the corner it's says AGG 3-1.

 

I understand the basics of it, but I don't totally understand all of it. Someone break it down por favor.

Basically you play two legs and you take the score from both legs and add them together. The team that scores the most goals over both matches advances. If the two are level after two matches, the tiebreaker is away goals. Meaning the team that scored the most away goals would advance, even though their aggregate score is tied.

 

If both teams are level on aggregate score and away goals, you go to extra time. If you're still level after extra time, you go to a penalty shootout.

 

So, Juventus are currently ahead 2-1 on aggregate, with Real Madrid having scored 1 away goal. If Real Madrid wins 1-0 at home, that'd make the aggregate 2-2, but Real Madrid would advance on away goals. If Real Madrid win 2-1 at home in the second leg, that'd make the aggregate 3-3 and even on away goals, so we'd head into extra time. If Real Madrid and Juventus drew 1-1, Juventus would advance 3-2 on aggregate. And finally, if Real Madrid takes the second leg 3-2, we'd be even 4-4 on aggregate, but Juventus would advance because their two away goals trumps Real Madrid's one away goal.

Ok wow thanks for breaking it down like that.

 

I guess it gives teams incentive to keep scoring no matter what.
