Team USA - Flag Football


Recommended Posts

While I know everyone is focused on the Winter Olympics now, there's going to be a Flag Football match vs. :MEX tomorrow night (Thursday) at 7:00 Eastern.  Last year, the championship match got rained out, I believe, so we were officially co-champions...so this will unofficially determine the winner.  Stream it here.

  • 1 month later...

(BTW, we won the match above, 35-34.)

 

Quick note on qualification...6 teams per gender, and we get one automatically.

 

The others come from...

2026 WCh (2 per gender, no continental restrictions)

2028 OQS (3 per gender, minimum 2 continents represented, top 2 from each continental championship in 2027 invited)

 

In theory, this could result in 5 American teams...though I doubt this will be the case.  Also in theory, it could be 4 from any other continent

Big weekend for flag football. The Fanatics Flag Football Classic will be from 4 p.m. ET to 8:30 p.m. ET on FOX. It will be at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, the stadium that will host Olympic flag football.

 

There will be three teams

- Team USA Flag Football

- Founders FFC

- Wildcats FFC

 

Founders FFC is captained by Tom Brady and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts with Sean Payton of the Broncos as the head coach.

 

Wildcats FFC is captained by Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels with Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers as the head coach.

 

Both the Founders & Wildcats will feature a roster full of NFL stars, and Logan Paul and IShowSpeed are playing for some reason (eye roll).

 

The teams will play a round robin with the championship game at 7 p.m. ET.

 

The games will be in Olympic format, so it will be a nice peak as to what flag football will look like at LA28.

 

This also could have big implications when it comes to which players will be on the team in LA28. Will it be Team USA flag football? A roster of NFL stars that are relatively unfamiliar with the sport? A mix of both? We shall see!

Halftime of Team USA vs Wildcats. USA has a 19-6 lead.

 

Not a surprise, but the Wildcats are really struggling on defense, especially pulling the flags. USA's offense looks way more smooth as well. Good start for USA.

I'm enjoying this a little more than I thought I would. :)  Of course, it might be seeing the like of Joe Burrow, etc., and it's a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

 

(If we don't win this gold in LA...)

Yeah we should be the favorites obviously. I know we are only one game in, but this event is telling me that we need to send Team USA to have the best chance at winning gold. 

 

A team full of NFL stars would generate a lot of buzz, but I doubt they will end up performing better than Team USA.

I unfortunately missed the NFL vs. NFL game, as well as the final.  (Family movie night)

USA won the final, although it was a bit more competitive.

 

Main takeaway from this evening: we need to send Team USA to LA28. Sorry NFL.

    • Looks like i severely overestimated the intelligence of the average Bulgarian.. Tragic result, but will see what happens now. Initial stance last night was that there won't be any EU blockage, but we will be "standing our ground on Bulgaria's interests", whatever that means. The campaign and the whole election cycle was more towards our domestic problems, corruption and status quo. There wasn't much foreign rhetoric, even though everyone knows Radev's position.   It's basically wait and see at this point. Like i mentioned before, this guy isn't as bombastic as Orban, but more tactical and cunning, so i don't expect fireworks in front of whole Europe.

    • To give some insight into how ridiculous Angharad's time was, the mixed relay that includes her, the infamous female breaststroker, is one second quicker than the four that includes Adam ****ing Peaty.   It's VERY rare your quickest mixed 4 includes your female breaststroker - the slowest stroke also creates, generally the biggest 'sex' gap. But if your male stroker is relatively very weak (think USA Tokyo 2020) it can be explained.   When your male stroker is Adam Peaty, backed up by Filip Nowacki, its insane.
    • Doesn't seem to be major changes.   Section 3.B has been updated in relation to the host nation quota to introduce 'eligible' into the criteria. In the new version, 'if the host country has not already qualified an athlete, the highest-placed host country eligible athlete based on the final results of the Olympic Games 2028 Qualification Event will directly obtain a quota place. If the host country has already had one or two athletes qualify via alternate pathways, the host country quota position will not be granted and will be reallocated.'   There is also a change to section F1 and F2 to introduce gender criteria - 'If an allocated quota place is not confirmed by the NOC by the confirmation of quota places deadline, or is declined by the NOC, the quota place will be reallocated to the next highest placed eligible athlete not yet qualified of the same gender from the same qualification event where the quota place was allocated , adhering to the maximum number of quota places per NOC, as outlined above (B.2).'  
    • Massidda is another disappointment and Imperio- it's great that she has gold, but she's not making any progress in her results and with this result, she won't even qualify for the Olympics in 2028 (in 2024 also her failed to qualify). Considering the return of our old friends from Eastern Europe, Italy can basically give up on the sport- our chances of an Olympic medal are practically zero, at now.
