Doesn't matter. You don't have to be able to judge individual members of a TEAM by absolutes so long as the sprot in question has a way to judge the TEAM by absolutes. Football has a scoring system based on crossing various lines in various ways, the TEAM that puts up the most point through this absolute scoring system wins. How well one particular member of the team contributed to that does not need to be judged by any absolutes (except by the people paying him) since the team wins or looses as a whole.
