Penalties hardly tell us that the winner was any better than away goal though.

New rule is away goals count as double

It was also to encourage away teams to actually attack their opponent. I’m sure I read that back in the early days of the European Cup, you’d get away teams who would just play for a bore draw, and it would make those legs utterly dreary to watch. Away goal was brought into incentivise away teams to play more openly.
I’d still scrap it. It affects the ties way too much. It just seems perverse to me that a tie can end 4-4 but one team has to win it in order to go through, but the other can be happy with the draw.
Both teams get home advantage and equal opportunity to make the best of it. Why make it any more complicated than that?
In this day and age, the home team trying to make the best of their advantage would leave the away team with opportunities to counter attack. The rationale for keeping it has diminished for me.

Id keep it as its unique and offers a more exciting way of watching the game. More penalty shoot outs is just the most underwhelming way of deciding football matches.

I mean, you can score with hitting the ball off them, so technically, yes?
Depends on the cup.
