Quote from: foulweatherfan on June 23, 2014, 03:26:45 PMOne thing I don't get about NFL ball is why, when a RB is hemmed in behind the line of scrimmage with defenders closing, doesn't the RB just throw a forward pass out of bounds? He can legally pass and if he's out of the tackle box, grounding shouldn't be an issue. Turns a negative play into a no gain.If its a called running play, you most likely have offensive lineman pulling and running down field blocking past the line of scrimmage. You'd get nailed for having an ineligible receiver downfield which is a penalty.

At least in soccer the main objective's pretty easy to figure out. Curling also kinda works but it's not nearly as popular as unAmerican football and cricket.

What is complicated about NBA tiebreaker? They keep playing until one person wins. 5 minutes increment to determine the winner is not complicated at all. And as far as the playoffs seeds, it's based on regular season wins. For playoffs, it's best of 7 games. Easy.
I think Brazil would have been better off facing Holland in the next round instead of Chile. Brazil have seemed to have a hard time against South and Central American opponents over the last year or two. Their current team looks more comfortable playing against European opponents. Were they have more advantage physically with the climate.
Mexico - Croatia, 2-0I couldn't watch the whole game (stupid german TV is showing the games in a conference), but the commentator said Guardado is having a good game. Is there any truth to that?

Is there any truth to that?He scored the second goal. And he is playing well, holding that midfield tight.
