@NewYorker With respect, the 'assists' statistic is quite a recent phenomenon and not one that receives much attention over here. -
@BHarmsworth@NewYorker It does in Fantasy Football. Many could now pick two notional 'best' teams, one for FF, one for reality#someoverlap -
@jayessconn70 Unless you're Brazilian. But that's a long and complicated thing.

@NewYorker So it's no surprise that the stat is meaningless. It's merely a stat borrowed from other popular sports in USA.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@NewYorker Only in USA have assists been "long used", likely since b-ball & hockey used them. FIFA only began tracking it in the WC in '94Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@NewYorker Yes, because before the guy/girl gets the goal there are potentially 10 others who assisted in the lead up to the goal.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@NewYorker Assists were never seen as an indicator of 'passing prowess', why would they be. they indicate a vision/ability to create chancesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
