It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

W&L down 2-1 with 14 to play.
It is a shame they are playing on turf (F' Roanoke). Bouncy ball and slick field is making this less skillful than these teams are.

Yeah field space is a premium in our area. However, my county forces developers to build fields as part of the agreement to redevelop. So in Tysons, Capital One built a GREAT baseball field that is used by the college summer league teams on their campus and SAIC has full turf field that is used for soccer and lacrosse. My old club has been huge benefits of this as it opened up fields directly for the club and fields used by other clubs became free.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 11:18 amI wonder where they'll train.

It's wild to me that a team can knowingly play an ineligible player and not forfeit the game. They may claim they didn't know, but the rule's not complicated, so that excuse doesn't fly.wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 10:59 am College Cup semis
Beavers v. ND. Beavers will be without their starting midfielder and coach. Apparently playing an ineligible player (yellow card accumulation..8 in a seaon) does not change the outcome of the win over UNC to move on.
Clemson v. Mountaineers
The NCAA's model of forfeit is more a no-contest than changing who wins or loses (See Syracuse's use of ineligible Gait brother car loan championship). There may be something about when you catch it. For example when the clock strikes zero maybe you can't adjust for that.Shirley wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 10:52 amIt's wild to me that a team can knowingly play an ineligible player and not forfeit the game.

Yeah, but it's different when you find issues years later (Gaits, Louisville hoops, Michigan, USC football, etc.) vs finding it right after the game. They could have had OSU forfeit the game and advance UNC. That seems like the right outcome for a team that knowingly played their ineligible all-conference player.wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 9:28 pmThe NCAA's model of forfeit is more a no-contest than changing who wins or loses (See Syracuse's use of ineligible Gait brother car loan championship).

Interesting, I was thinking teams would leave their domestic leagues to play in this, not an additional 14 games added to an already ludicrously packed fixture schedule. Not sure which is worse, but both are horrible ideas. OTOH, it'd be a lot of fun to watch... Can we get rid of the League (Carabao) Cup?

Man this is all about $ and at no point have players been taken into consideration. League, domestic cups, club world cups, nations leagues, WC Qualification, Continental Cups and their qualifications, When will teams have time to rest, train, and/or make money on preseason/winter training tours.

Both teams wanted to wear special shirts with an inscription on it, as a protest against having the game in Saudi Arabia in the first place. Saudi Arabia didn't budge, so both teams agreed to cancel the game and just fly home.
