Just one.....

Where does the endzone begin? Inside the line or outside the line? You placed the line on the outside of the line.

It is my belief that the endzone is inside the lines hence the term "breaking the plane of the endzone" Had there been a clear shot of the ball inside the endzone this thread would not be necessary.

Let me put it another way the other three lines of the endzone i.e. the two side lines and the rear of the endzone are marked five times as wide as the goal line, if a reciever catches a ball in the endzone with any part of his feet in those lines it is not a touchdown, they have to be inside the endzone.

The same applies here The ball never made it inside the plane of endzone as defined by the goalines, it has to cross it into the endzone.

The entire goal line is part of the end zone. So any part of the ball reaching any part of the line is a TD.

This is incorrect. The end zone begins at the line. The outside edge of the line. This is fundamental football.

Now, in ice hockey, the puck must completely cross the goal line in order for it to be a goal.

But this isn't hockey.
