I'mma reverse polarity on this craze before it's too late. In this thread, I don't want you t'ask me anything. Instead, I want you to tell me somethin' I don't know. I don't care what it is, I don't care what it's about. Just tell me, and if I find what you're sayin' interesting enough, I'll ask you to tell me more about it.
That, or you could ask me a question that I may or may not answer, but I'd really prefer the first thing.

In the world cup quarter finals. During the Uruguay v Ghana game. Luis Suarez now at Liverpool FC punches the air, in the last seconds of the game used his hands to stop the ball going into the net. In doing this he got a red card. Which forced him to leave the pitch. And gave Ghana a penalty kick. If Ghana score, they'd go through because it would be the last kick of the game. Fortunately for Uruguay, Ghana missed their penalty making the game move to penalties after the extra time. Suarez, the person who got sent off because of this was now hailed a hero. In the penalty shoot-out, Uruguay won and went through to the semi finals of the world cup.
Looking back at the video, it appears Ghana had 3 players off side during the chances. 2 players who were off side touched the ball. Which should have been a free kick to Uruguay. Therefore making the red card moot.

I'm English I can vouch for that. However, what many people don't think about is that, the Argies were destroying us (England) so, they'd probably have won either way.

Interesting idea, but I can't say I'm good at throwing out a bit of interesting and little-known knowledge on the spot. If I think of something, I'll come back here.

It don't gotta be interesting. It's just gotta be somethin' I don't already know. And on that note, let's move on. We got sports covered, what else is there goin' on in the 'verse?
