remember a very athletic play when Mitchell went high to pick off one in the flat and took it to the house. I think it was against the Rams in LA.

It was the Cardinals. I was coming here to post that it was main memory of Keith Mitchell.

Is this true? I haven't seen anything like that but if so, Bruce can pound sand up his monotone lethargic arse.

Unless I completely zoned out when he said it, I didn't hear that when I listened to the clip. He said he thought it was a red due to the potential for injury and hoped it's just a one game suspension. I don't recall him saying horror tackle or saying it should be more.

My main takeaway is that the red card fiasco is taking the attention away from the fact that the US dominated a European side in a knockout game. It could come down to Bosnia just not being that good, but our defense made them look impotent all night, even with 10 men.

Knockout round used to start with 16 teams.

Canada doesn’t get to play any knockout games in Canada. They’re the only ones that have a legitimate gripe.

Their gripe is with themselves, they didn't win their group. Switzerland is playing in Canada in their place. Switzerland will play back to back games in Vancouver if they win.

it's their kids and grandkids that do it too.

I don't know. Out here in Houston, I feel like I see a lot of families where the mom and dad wear Mexican jerseys but the kids wear USA. I definitely saw quite a few examples at the Cape Verde Saudi Arabia game last Friday.

My only issue is games ending in ties. Play until the next team scores or go straight to a shootout.

The way I've come to rationalize it to people that don't follow soccer is a difference of viewpoint. Americans view every single game as a war where there has to be a winner and a loser. Soccer is more of a war over the course of a season/group stage. There can be battles that don't have a clear winner, but it all builds up to identifying the best team in the competition.

They are never going to play until the next team scores because that could result in teams playing a ridiculous amount of minutes and costing them further in the tournament with exhausted players. A shootout can be a crapshoot. Sometimes, the teams were just equal that day.

I don't understand why people always post something like this when a beautiful woman is brought up. Is it to vent because some woman treated you poorly?

And those one or two names are 100x more likely to just retire/play a major schedule than bump around the b-tier tour.

These guys have been golfers their entire life. This is what they do. There is huge incentive to work to get back to the top level. Guaranteed 15+ starts all with 20 million dollar purses. You could also potentially win twice on the challenger tour and get auto promotion.

Also what's going to happen if someone is in decent form to start the year, but then gets injured early and falls outside of the top 120/130 due to only playing a couple of events? They're just screwed out of the top league because they got injured?

---

This is the big question mark that they admitted is not sorted out yet. This is why they will have 90 guys stay safe from the Championship, 20 guys get promoted from the challenger, and still have 20 spots needing to be filled. They will have to find the mix of major medicals, fall series, DP World Tour, and PGA Tour U.

Late to the thread obviously but the “big name guys” so if Rory has a bad year he can go down? Or he’s always there just bc of who he is?

I guess more realistically someone like Spieth would be on the lower tier?

---

The top 130 will be in the Championship level. Yes, it is possible that these big names could end up relegated, but even Spieth is at #51 in the FedEx cup right now. So, he is not close to in being in jeopardy.

Right now, the first 5 people out of that level (if it started tomorrow) would be Hank Ledbioda, Takumi Kanaya, Sam Ryder, Chris Kirk, and Sami Valimaki.

The Shotgun Start brought up a good point in their pod on this. They are trying to build drama for the last event by having a cut throat line. The only issue is they plan to do a fall series where Challenger Level people play with non qualifying Championship level people to get to the top tier. While that could be pretty cool (sort of like the promotion playoffs to get in the EPL), I feel like it would diminish the impact of the previous season cut line.
