Most dangerous lead
« on: Nov 15, 2011, 10:32: AM »
Is 2-0 the most dangerous lead? I heard 2 commentators discussing this topic today. It sounds really ridiculous at first, but maybe its true :017:

A team leading 1-0 usually tries to continue playing well to maintain and increase the lead. But a team that is leading 2-0 may feel safe and get over-confident. They may start getting slack if they believe 1 mistake is not important. The team may also start playing more defensively and stop putting pressure on the other team.

If they concede a goal to make it 2-1 then suddenly its like "oh shit" and they get nervous. While the other team has momentum now. Agreed?
forget Ronaldinho....only one deserves the -inho suffix......Jabarinho!!!!

Well said. Although 1-0 is more dangerous literally. One goal and it's tied.  :grin:

Depends on team of course. In my opinion 1-0 is more dangerous.. for example Inter vs. Real Madrid..
It's 5th minute and corner, Cambiasso took Inter to 1-0 leading position. Now imagine how hard Real Madrid is trying to make it 1-1..
Now imagine 2-0.. Real madrid's punch of stars are close to crying, ronaldo starts to dive, pepe doing pointless fauls. Reaaaaly dangerous...
