True in most cases, yes. Of course goals such as the one Del Piero scored yesterday are without a helper, however you would be lying to yourself if you deny the assist is sometimes just as important as the goal.

I just don't understand how scoring a tap in goal is more difficult than dribbling around two defenders and sliding a through ball into space behind the rest of the defense just out of reach of the goalkeeper for a player to tap home. How is that easier than tapping the ball in the net? Doesnt make any sense.

And what about the perfect cross to the foot of a player on the goal line...oh it's just soo hard to let the ball hit your foot and roll into the net.
Fact is in many cases without the assist there would be no goal...the ball would not fall around the net and obviously the score of the match would not have changed at all.
