As a soccer novice, I notice the glory goes to the one who scores the goal. but not to the one who kicks it to them so that they only need to tap it in. I do appreciate that the one scoring must be in place to make the goal. Messi does seem different and more active than the other top scorers. I also notice he is not a selfish player and makes good passes to his teammates.

To follow up with @Northam Saint, ovate was yesterday's Wordle word.

It’s called an assist and there is some recognition for it. It does count in statistics.

Just did a search and Messi is considered the best assist player in soccer. That's cool.

Speedball, powerball, or over and under is the polydrug mixture of a stimulant with a depressant, usually an opioid. The most well-known mixture used for recreational drug use is that of cocaine and heroin; however, methamphetamine mixed with morphine and/or fentanyl has also been used. A speedball may be taken intravenously or by nasal insufflation. Speedballs often give stronger effects than either drug when taken alone due to drug synergy, but are a particularly hazardous mixture that can easily cause heart attack, respiratory arrest and death.
