QuoteAs far as I know, away goals will count before the game gets to extra time. So basically, if it's 1-1 in Dublin and 0-0 in Paris at the end of the 90 minutes in Paris, France will qualify.
Anyone know? I know they do in the Champions League knockout stages but I don't know about this play-off thingy.

Up the Harps!!
I was thinking about this this morning already,i would think they definatly do.The Champions league is the darling of Uefa,so i would imagine same rules apply.I remember losing a couple of pints in a bet with a few mates during the extra time of Chelsea v liverpool a few years back because i was of the opinion they did not count in extra time.....i was wrong!!!
Only another 9 titles till Drogheda become pride of county louth!!!
I would presume so, they do in every other FIFA/UEFA competition as far as I know.

The team scoring more goals on aggregate wins the play-off. If the scores are level on aggregate, away goals count double. If the teams are level on away goals, or if both matches end goalless, extra-time of two periods of 15 minutes each will be played at the end of the second match. If the score is level after extra time, penalty kicks will be taken to determine the winner.
No mention of goals scored in extra time being treated any differently to those scored in normal time.
I just looked that up too, nearly definite that away goals count in extra time, one small advantage of playing away from home second leg, you potentially have a half hour extra to get an away goal.Originally Posted by eaststand85
Yes they do. I'm staggered that there seems to be confusion about this, they always do.
They do.
Trap should throw on an extra forward at the 90 to freak Domenech out.
A Scorpio to really freak him out!(Think Folan is one but do we have any others?)

The only reason I brought it up was because someone posted in another thread saying that they don't count. I was surprised and thought it was worth starting a thread to clarify.
No bother mate, response wasn't aimed at you, had seen it in the other thread myself.
Any confusion would of arisen from the different rules that sometimes can apply e.g the League Cup in England. And they don't always count. CONCACAF have different rules to UEFA for example and don't count away goals in extra time.

There's been a FIFA rule change this time around.
Following on from the seeded draw, away goals count double for France but do not count double for the unseeded, lower form of human evolution team.
Quoting years at random since 1975
The League Cup in England is a better system actually. If a team is level on aggregate surely they deserve at least extra time before away goals count against them. I actually think penalties is fairer than the away goals rule, stupid stupid rule in my opinion, scoring the same amount of goals and losing, ridiculous. It was brought in to make teams play more offensively away from home and all it has done is made the home team more cautious, the away side is still pretty happy with a 0-0 draw more often than not. Plus, the team playing away from home in the 2nd Leg know what they have to do, away goals-wise which is an advantage. God I hate that rule.
As for getting an extra half hour to score an away goal in the 2nd Leg, I think that pretty much cancels out with the fact that France get an extra half hour of home advantage.
Sorry mate, I was talking about UEFA competition rules.
Speaking of Penalties, Ronaldinhos Penalty against Real Madrid in Champions league last week was the best penalty I think I have ever seen... a Bullet is no exageration.. I don't think we have anyone with as lethal a shot as Ronny, pity that!!
steven reid can wallop a ball harder than that, but he's not selected.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeelllllannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
You're right. If it's 0-0 after the game in Dublin, I'm sure UEFA and FIFA will state on Monday morning that away goals don't count.
