Then, one question comes to my mind : When it' half of the regular season and a team got terrible results, they know they on't acess to the play-offs, what is their motivation to do their best to win the games ?
In European sport the danger of being relegated into a lower division isz there to motivate the guys and encourage them to still maintain their fighting spirit.
How could NFL or NBA Guys maintain it without being awared that they fall into a lower division ?
Herm Edwards said it best.....YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME
