.... A good assist is just as valuable as a goal

It literally isn't.   

 

Also, we'd have a bunch more "great assists" if Klimala didn't blow so many chances.

Ive been one of the most outspoken critics
Ive watched Red Bull soccer long enough


Are you new here? Or just a new screen name?

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

it is though a pass that leads to a goal and a goal are the same end outcome

It's not a goal until its a goal.    The goal turns a pass into an assist.   Before that, its just a pass.

Ahhhh... the MetroStars era where the first guy would pass the ball, the winger would run 15 yards, beat a defender, slow down to allow others to get into a play, pass a ball to a striker, the striker took the ball another ten yards and beat a couple more defenders before scoring a goal. The first guy would end up with a secondary assist from a pass he made a minute prior.

I don't mind secondary assists in concept but MLS was horribly inconsistent in awarding them. I remember going through a season of Henry highlights and thinking there were a bunch that weren't given correctly in both directions

This. 1,000% this. Midfielders are paid to pass. STRIKERS ARE PAID TO SCORE FUCKING GOALS.

Who the absolute fuck ever talks about the greatest PASSING striker? No one. LITERALLY no one.

Next someone is going to tell me yeah so and so is not a great goalkeeper but man hes got a great shot from distance. We should DEFINITELY hold onto him.

Like what. The absolute. Fuck.
