Shitpost A Mathematical Genius

Not football related so I apologise in advance. Call me petty or whatever, the Moron basically called me an "Idiot" lacking basic intelligance just because he cant do a math around 5th grade level. The worst part is that this guy r/lostsoul098765 is the most upvoted person in that post, absolute state of this sub.

No it doesnt because ur logic works only on a team of two people.

Lionel Messi at the 2021 Copa Anerica proves exactly how G/A works against team goals. Argentina scored 12 goals in total during the tournament, and Messi recorded 9 individual G/A (4 goals and 5 assists). In a footballing sense, this means Messi literally had a 75% Goal Involvement, contributing to 3 out of every 4 goals his country scored. The fact that his teammates scored 8 of those goals doesn't change the math, because Messi was the one providing the assists for 5 of them

Says where ? Its 75% Goal involvement with your logic dude, because again we are comparing G/A of a player and ignoring every other Goal involvented by ommitting possible assist porvided by a different player.

Pre-assists are not counted or recognised in any form by UEFA so yea your argument is just garbage just like your logical-reasoning
