Nothing from your narration suggests any potential infection by HIV.

Harry Kane renders your made up average law useless. Messi doesn't have more trophies than Ronaldo just solely on his individual ability. If it was solely on individual ability Kane wont have zero trophies while someone like Vardy is on 2. They are many factors contributing to a players trophy count. It's weird you will even bring it up when it's irrelevant.


We can all play your games. If 2 goals and 3 assists means 5 goals then 2 gold and 3 silver means 5 medals. You have actually not added anything new to the argument. Assists and goals are not rated the same likewise gold and silver in the Olympic. Why are you arguing against such a simple thing.
Absolute balderdash. An exception can never nullify an "averages" law, rather it reinforces it. I will suggest you educate yourself on what the concept means. Mention any other players in Kane's bucket. If you have an elite player, sooner or later an elite club will snap him up and then the trophies will roll in over time. It's a fact of football.

Messi produced the highest G/A of all players in history (not sure of Pele's record though). He has the highest number of trophies in history. There is a direct correlation regardless of the other variables. Without Messi's G/A, Barca would not have won as many trophies they've won and neither would Argentina have.

5 goals for a football team has the same impact, whether 3 goals and 2 assists or 5 goals from a penalty spot by a single player. The 8 goals Spain scored in 2010 had the impact of winning them the WC. The source of the 8 goals is secondary so long as the entire team could produce the 8 goals at those points.

To an athletics team, 2 gold and 3 silver is not as important as 5 gold medals, but 2 goals and 3 assists in football carries the same weight as 5 goals for the team (that you cannot see this distinction is baffling and frankly tiring). The objective of football is from a team's perspective and not a single player.

Football team is also down to various individuals. The analogy fits perfectly. Goals and assists are not rated in the same level of importance likewise gold and Silver in Olympic events.


A football coach will pick players that are more effective for his style/ brand of play. If a coach system requires a pure goal scorer that's what he will prefer likewise a coach that wants something different will also look for what fits his system. Another flawed logic once again. You are really having a field day. How does Harry Kane with zero trophy fits into your law of average.

There's a reason Guardiola said putting the ball into the back of the net is the hardest thing In football.
It's called an "average" law for a reason meaning there would be outliers on both sides, but for the most part the majority would fit in. There's a reason Harry Kane's case is attracting attention because it is an anomaly.

For every Harry Kane, you have Messi, Pele, De Lima, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Xavi, Henry, Lampard, Gerard, KDB and even CR7.

You really don't get it do you. To a Football coach, two goals and 3 assists means 5 goals for his team. Whether the 5 goals come from a single or multiple players is secondary. To an athletes' coach, 2 gold and 3 silver medals remain 2 gold and 3 silver medals. Big difference.

Pep is right. But when you have a player who only does the hardest thing, while there is another who does both the hardest thing and the second hardest thing consistently, pray tell who would be considered more effective by this same Pep Guardiola?

You are just going here and there. You said the aim of football is to win matches. How do you win matches. You win matches by outscoring your opponents. I have said all these in the post you quoted.

I don't understand what you are saying again.
Ok let me simplify.

You said aim of football is to score goals. And my point in response is that scoring is just one part of the aim. There are other critical parts which include creation of goals and preventing your opponent from scoring. A great coach looks at all of these parts together and not just an individual scoring otherwise you'd have a case of high-scoring teams like Newcastle and Crystal Palace who languish in the lower end of the table.

My point is tactical. Spain won WC 2010 with 8 goals while Germany with 11 goals crashed out of Euro 2024 QFs. If the aim was just to score goals, Germany would be considered better, yet it is not so. But the effective possession style by Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets stifled the opposition chances and gave Spain the platform to win the WC.

The other point is that any player that contributes most to the success of the team's overall goals be it in goalscoring, assisting and defending or a combo of them all will be adjudged the best. It is not automatic that the player with the most goals is considered the best. It mostly is but not always.

C'est fini.

Everything is in the post you quoted. I am tired of this argument already. How do you win match?

Read my post again
No there is a difference. Aim of team is not just to score goals.

It's like saying aim of a company/business is just to make money. No, it is to make profits which requires you to both make money and minimize your costs. That is what propels you to be a successful and sustainable entity.

For a football team, objective is both scoring goals and preventing them on the other end. That is what defines the team's success.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by ThierryJay: 4:17pm On Jul 16, 2024
Kimbeast:
This logic is so flawed. First of all goal and assist don't carry the same weight. An athlete with 10 gold medal and 2 silver at the Olympic is not rated lower than another with 6 gold medal and 10 silver. Have you ever seen a golden boot race were the person with lower goals but more assists is crowned as the top scorer?

Your last paragraph is even more ridiculous. So Ronaldo likes to score if his team his losing, but Messi will rather not score if his team is losing. You all need to chill and spare us all these ridiculous takes on Messi and Ronaldo.
And your first paragraph is completely flawed. The dynamics of an athlete's performance perception which is mostly individual is completely different from that of a football team. The analogy is so ridiculous.

A football coach will prefer a player that gives 25 goals and 20assists to another that gives him 30 goals and 2 assists because based on the law of averages the player with the 45G/A performance will tend to create more overall success for the team than the 30-goal player. It is no coincidence that Messi has won the highest number of trophies over 895 goal Pendu because over time amidst the highs and lows, this law stands true.

Top scorer is a matter of goals, but most effective player is down to overall impact.

monerozi5590:
The aim of football is to score goals. There's goal posts and you have to put the ball behind the net.

You win a football match by out scoring your opponent. That's that.

Please, tell me one thing that is beyond goals in football?
Naah, get this straight. The aim of a football team is to win matches.

You win the most matches by getting your team to score goals and preventing your opponents from scoring. Any player that contributes most to these critical success factors will be recognized as the best.

A player who scores 20 goals and created 20 assists will be considered better than one who scored 25 goals with 3 assists, because the former has helped his team achieve 12 more goals than the latter.

A player who consistently prevents other teams from scoring or having scoring opportunities and by so doing gives his team the platform to win most games and even trophies is often considered more effective than one who just scores goals that takes his team nowhere.

The first reason is why Messi is hands down better than Pendu. The second reason is why Rodri is the Euros MVP ahead of Gbarry Kane & co and his team rarely loses when he's on the pitch.

Y'all reasoning is why Ronaldo prefers to score a goal while his team loses than the other way round. The GOAT would never do that cos that can never make him the best.

Bodied Ronaldo fans in 5 paragraphs, have mercy please 💀💀
The fruit of patience is just too much. Messi international career deserves a documentary. It's more than football. It serves as a moral lesson to all of us, including the haters.
The pressure was too much for him. He was heavily trolled as if he killed a human being.
Now, see how the gate of international trophies was opened for him. A gate that has been closed for a long time. A gate he can't wait to open.(Although he won Olympics)
During those bad periods, I wonder how he sleeps at night, and how he was mentally okay.
Once again, congrats to Leo.
I learnt so much from this!😢😊
Yeah bro. It's remarkable how the stars eventually aligned for him. For a while then, I used to wonder what heads greats like Dinho, Kaka, Zizou, Henry, Iniesta, Xavi etc had that was so difficult for Messi to also have since all these glorious international trophies came to these guys without relatively breaking a sweat.

In the end, Messi laughed last and laughed best.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by ThierryJay:
Even during the 2016 - 2020 wilderness era, I never accepted the superiority of the trolling by Pendulums because Messi still gave us one potent weapon to use; his individual performance records was still superior to Pendu's.

Despite that, I must admit the lack of a senior international trophy constantly stretched every sinew of my brain in coming up with convincing counter offensives against the relentless Pendutrolls.

My mental Maldini against these loud Lukakus over who the Goat is stood strong. The battles against KCalls/Bjean, Obembeaten, Jokerman (before he saw the light and is now only putting up appearances), Lordadamned etc were intriguing.

Come July 2021, GOAT brought me succor. The relief was indescribable, the joy overwhelming. It felt like when Captain Marvel and the previously dead Avengers entered the battle to turn the tide against Thanos and his army. Dispatching the Pendustees became remarkably easier, their weak attempts to mount any form of attack brushed aside with a picture of a giant 85cm Copa cup.

And then came 18 December 2022, GOAT gave us the ultimate nuclear weapon, blasting the entire penaldom into smithereens. Now, all we have are occasional whimpers. The final death knell sounded yesterday extinguishing all but the last traces of pendulife.

Messi FC we won!

Mbappe ghosting this tournament is not talked about enough. Messi or Ronaldo were never afforded this luxury. Even Henry with 2 fine open play goals and better play in Euro 2004 was excessively criticized, despite having won both WC and Euros previously.
