As if this is better than the Super Bowl comeback.

Just one game in a 2 game series, this is not like 3-1 that was tasty.
Better than anything beisbol has to offer, that's for sure.
I know y'all have this cute little battle going on between orange slice ball and spitball but how the is this "the greatest comeback in sports history"?
Correct me if I'm wrong (I honestly don't follow povertyball that closely). But, isn't this "comeback" the product of 2 different games? Like they had to score that many goals to advance?
It isn't, but still
It might be, it might not be. It's definitely up there.
Was Matt Ryan playing?
Shanahan and/or Pete Caroll coaching?
Anybody got an answer to this question?
Yes, the first game ended 4-0 for PSG. Barca needed to score 4 goals without conceding to tie the series. PSG scored an away goal when the 2nd game was 3-0 for Barca, so Barca needed to score 3 more goals to advance. They scored those 3 goals in the final 5 minutes of the game. 5 actual minutes, not minutes in American sports, tbh.
^Thanks for the clarification DAF.
To the OP though. You do know that Mid is going to nail your ass to The Tree, right? When he says that povertball doesn't have any "comeback factor" he's obviously talking about a single game basis. When a povertyball team goes down by 2 goals there is like a 99% chance that team is going to lose the match.
Using the combined goal total of two separate matches
Calling that a "comeback"
"Sports" history
Soccer
"Sport"
Everyone ing their pants because both teams actually scored for once
Having to combine the scores of two different games to hype up this "comeback" because of how anemic this "sport" is
Anyone who thinks this is better than baseball
No there isn't unless it is a mismatch..Boasting about comeback factor in basketball as if the Wolves of worlds are overcoming 20 points deficit to beat the likes of the Warriors on regular basis or vice versa.
In "sport history" it was obviously meant for soccer...And guess DAF enlightened your ass that it was 3 goals in 5 minutes..they were playing against the "score" not the nature of outcome (W or L) of the game....so a comeback factor still applies..

Exactly.
I mean, I guess this is an "epic" comeback by soccer standards, but its overall comeback factor is still comparatively low to better sports like baseball, basketball, hockey and football.
Oh, and povertyfans are actually having to combine the results of two different games here. The actual game score was 6-1. So where was the comeback? That's like the Spurs being down 30 points in "aggregate" and blowing out the Lakers by 31 to "advance." How in' stupid.
Cute.
I'll digress by showing some real comebacks.

All from one season. And maybe CN can tell us about some nice NHL comebacks this season.
"Aggregate."![]()
There isn't one. Every other "sport" that I can think of would say that the "Series is tied at 1-1".
Pvertyball
It was a 2 game series?
Why does soccer have such re ed gameplay ideas?
Minigames, added time that is arbitrarily decided by the ref, "aggregates," 2 game series, and so on.
Why are Beisbol fans acting like the deciding a winner in compeetion should only follow the model of their sorry ass "sport"?![]()
Never mind just baseball. No actual sport decides winners on aggregate scores across multiple games. By soccer "logic," the Cubs and Indians are co-champions because they scored 27 runs apiece in the World Series.
Our sport?
That follows the model of "every" sport aside from floppytrot.
When's the last time you've seen Roger Federer win a major match because he led in "aggregate?"
Never. Because tennis is smart enough to make it best out of 5 games. Just like baseball, basketball, and hockey are smart enough to make it best out of 5 and 7.
