    2026 World Cup - General Discussion & Non-USA teams thread

    FIFA is similar to the UN. There's a high level of corruption, but with even more countries part of its membership.

    This is level-headed thinking. However, if I may just extend this thought out a little farther, I think an even more relevant comparison would be against teams we actually compete against on the field. Over the last decade, it's a school like Michigan that we have recruited on level terms with...

    Franklin had some classes that averaged out at 88, but he had a lot of classes that were over 90 and even a couple over 91. I agree that the overall average player rating is a better metric to evaluate a class by. But, for some additional perspective, Michigan won (cheating aside) a national...

    This OT was the reverse of the one against the Penguins. Had more of the chances and shots on goal, but couldn’t put any away. Allowed the opponent to finally capitalize. Bottom line is that a lot of power plays went scoreless. I think this was the game they needed if they wanted to really...

    I did not have my hopes up for the Flyers to win too many games in this series, and last night did not change any of those thoughts. I get it, "it's only game 1." But even with that said, I'm hoping this experience in these playoffs—and seeing some success—will positively set them up for the...

    Honestly, I thought that was it for the Flyers when Martone missed a wide open net. Fantastic that they were able to end the series almost immediately after.

    McKenna has been named to Team Canada for the 2026 world championships. That’s a big deal for a kid who was just playing in college this season.

    OT: Camelback ski area in PA still open for skiing

    Camelback is trying to be the PA version of Killington’s Superstar “glacier.” I admire the idea.

    Whatever happens with additional commitments and re-evaluations in the fall, I'll be content if we end up with blue-chip recruits in the double digits.
