Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[Yayo Toure]

PSV's Gakpo probably.

I think he's talking about Neymar, I'm not gonna look up the stats but he's better right now than he's been in years.

Like I said the world cup will come and Haaland will be watching it just like the rest of us. The hype machine will be working on someone else then.

PSV's Gakpo probably.

My man is crying about a player plying his trade in Eredi-fukking-visie isn't getting the same shine as a player tearing up the Premier League?

Yeah, when did combining goals and assists even become a thing? It seems very recent

official since the USA hosted the world cup

Assist (association football) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"FIFA started officially keeping track of assists in World Cup tournaments at the 1994 edition.[8] This was popularly ascribed to the popularity of detailed sports statistics among fans.[8] 1994 was also the first World Cup in which assists were used as a tie-breaker in determining the Golden Shoe award for top scorer.[8][9] In the event, both Hristo Stoichkov and Oleg Salenko tied with 19 points, from 6 goals and 1 assist.[9]"

* but seriously yeah pretty recent

of course not

So what Haaland has achieved the past month and a half is warranted all the praise and attention he is getting.

When has the assist king ever gotten more attention than the leading goalscorer? Y'all can G+A all you want but the guy who finishes usually gets all the plaudits.

since henry @ arsenal

"2002–03 proved to be another productive season for Henry, as he scored 32 goals in all competitions while contributing 23 assists—remarkable returns for a striker.[23] In doing so, he led Arsenal to another FA Cup triumph (where he was man-of-the-match in the Final),[24] although Arsenal failed to retain their Premier League title.[25] Throughout the season, he competed with Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy for the league scoring title, but the Dutchman edged Henry to the Golden Boot by a single goal.[8] Nonetheless, Henry was named both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year.[26][27] His rising status as one of the world's best footballers was affirmed when he emerged runner-up for the 2003 FIFA World Player of the Year award.[19] With 24 goals and 20 assists in the league, Henry set a new record for most assists in a single Premier League season,[28] and also became the first player in history to record at least 20 goals and 20 assists in a single season in one of Europe's top–five leagues—this feat has since been matched by Lionel Messi in 2020.[29][30]"
