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.

    • Stan Moody was like one red away from leading Kyren Wilson 8-3 and never won another frame losing 7-10.   Antoni Kowalski put up a fight vs Mark Williams in the first session but ultimately fell 4-10. Still a historic moment for  snooker!
    • I think China will nominate a sport they will be successful in, even if it's the third or fourth choice for a home Olympics
    • Isn't it boring that a man and a woman are tennis players? Besides, for me, Pogacar achieved more than Alcaraz... How was Alcaraz better than Sinner? And Sabalenka only won one Grand Slam...    
    • SML's introverted personality is terrible for marketing but it's still a huge coup for Sabalenka & Belarus to take Laureus!    
    • We'll see – Radev has complete power... If he's clever, he'll take over all the media, institutions, tribunals etc., and will does propaganda that poverty exists because the EU, LGBT and the Green Deal are bad  Orban ruled terribly, but for 16 years, he was elected in Hungary thanks to propaganda. It's not that only you have to rule well to have high support. It's just that from what people are writing, Radev isn't as clever as Orban... On the other hand, if he were stupid, he wouldn't have won yesterday with 45%. He can't be underestimated, at all.
    • But these are the times when being pro-EU is no longer cool, unfortunately. That ended around 2010. Now there are plenty of Orbans, Radevs, Trumps, Le Pens, AFDs, etc. Even the Magyar in Hun didn't say much about the EU, because the Hungarians didn't want to hear it. I'm afraid that some Radev-like emerge will soon in Slovakia, because Fico is probably too discredited and will take all power. It's important that it's more of a Magyar than Radev, but Russia will certainly does to get someone of its own there. Especially since, apart from maybe Poland and the Czech Republic, in the entire post-USSR bloc, most people still simply like Russia.
    • The exit poll showed 38% for Radev, and then it rise to 45%, as if people didn't want to admit they voted for him? Well, it had to happen eventually, because elections can't be held every 6 months forever. The question was, who would take advantage of this? They found a old communist who called himself a new party- Progressive Bulgaria :P But, since he was president in your country for 10 years, people shouldn't have fallen for it. Turnout is also very low... Unfortunately, in Bulgaria, it's either chaos, or some strange emerges, like the former king in 2001, then Boiko Borisov, now Radev, etc. What's more, it seems you still have a strong sentiment for communism and Russia, which is why Radev didn't even have to hide his good relations with Putin.
    • We can be embarrassed together.
    • God, I hope so. I just want a pro-European government, that's all. Man, we're tired.
    • Good start for us with 3 total medals so far.    Angel Rusev took his 6th straight European title.   With this he equals Yoto Yotov and passed a bunch of other Bulgarian legends who have 5.  Above him are Nikolay Peshalov with 8th and Naim Süleymanoğlu with 7th (there could be others with such records, but i don't have the full statistics).   A shame that Rusev's overall level isn't on par on a worldwide scale, but we all know that Europe has practically taken a backseat in weightlifting the past 20 years, with the exception of a few individuals.
