Finally, Marcos Moneta underwent leg surgery today, and the prognosis seems to be good.
He could be back for the Olympics in July.

Re: LRZ
While we're comparing the sports, it's always intrigued me why the lateral pass is not used more in NFL. Videos of last-action plays, usually from college football, are highly entertaining. Is it as simple as the risk of dropping a ball being passed is too high? As far as I've understood, it's a pl...

Re: Baltimore bridge has collapsed.
Generally when a ship losses power as this one did, the rudder gets stuck in the last position it was. They might've been doing a course correction, because it lurches sideways and into the bridge's support. Not much you can do to slow down such a massive ship in such a short distance, so even in wa...

Re: Your best ever national team by unit
Two choices in each unit: a "classic" and a "modern" one. Classic units tend to be stronger in the pack (and the front row one was a nightmare to choose, since there were quite a few options), while the modern back ones are generally better. With the back three I picked two relatively modern units, ...
