How to you define an assist again please, because if chesting a ball towards your teammate isn't an assist, then how do you define it.DaRealest said:An assist is when someone gives a pass to set up a team mate in a good position to score like Adris pass to Viera. 30 yards out is not a good position to score.
What did Adriano really accomplish in the first goal? He chested down a ball 30 yards out from goal and Ibra blasted it. Nah, that's not an assist. I call it being involved in the first goal.

Involved? Yes he is!
That's why its an assist, because first the ball was going to a direction, Adri stopped it and chested it level for Ibra to shoot, you know what...
..remember the Deki assist or "involved" in that great Samp game for Recoba for the third winner? Was Deki involved also, or was it an assist?

DaRealest, I don't agree, let's see if anybody else agrees with you.

It's simple, Vieira's was a simple, ordinary pass, and Zlatan had to do everything, turn and shoot. Adriano's was a quick, direct pass that gave Zlatan the space to shoot, that's an assist.DaRealest said:What's the difference between the two goals? In both cases the scorer had to shoot from a distance and in both cases the scorer had defenders to beat.
The Viera assist was actually closer then the Adriano one so..

This case means there is no assist, because then Ibra would have been the one who created the last few touches before he scoredDaRealest said:Doesn't make sense. Viera passed it 30 yards atleast and lobbed it over two players, Adriano chested it down. What if Ibra didn't shoot it and instead dribbled the two players infront of him and then scored, would Adriano still get the assist?
But whatever, your thread your rules.
Peace.
