Keeper. You've still got your tourney backwards. Every other one, the person who's higher seeded picks and the lower seed starts.

"5. Should FIFA/UEFA start mandating more protective shoes and leg padding for professional players?"

Hemo..that is our topic...PLEASE DON'T START UNTIL MONDAY....I'm going to be gone this weekend, with NO interent time.

July 10, 2008  12:46 PM ET

What the heck are you talking about hemo?

July 10, 2008  01:16 PM ET

If you are talking about the first matchup in guru's group then I'll fix it when I get a winner.

July 10, 2008  01:25 PM ET

So if I get a topic from both Mike E and Hyped, do I get to pick which one I TD against?

July 10, 2008  01:29 PM ET

No wait for there TD to be finished. Then you can start. Don't start before then.

July 10, 2008  02:08 PM ET

Wait, why is Dan the champ?

He beat bigalke, but he still has like 4 more rounds to go through

July 10, 2008  02:09 PM ET

Hemo was talking about that in the other major tourneys on fannation the highers seed selects the topic and the lower seeds starts the tourney because there is an adavntage going second according to hemo

July 10, 2008  02:18 PM ET

Guess what? We aren't like the rest of FanNation. We are a soccer group so we will keep it the same. If the higher seed wants to stay put then they have to prove it by arguing first and holding off the lower seed.

And Dan is the champ but he has to win 4 more times to keep it. It's like wrestling. The person that beats the champ is the champ until he is beaten.

July 10, 2008  02:21 PM ET

Do they have a TD going right now?

July 10, 2008  02:33 PM ET

I like Keeper's point of view... holding off the lower seed.

And i guess Im not used to that wrestling format either but oh well thatll do. In the end the winner of the tourney will be champ so to me Dan can be Champ right now...

j11forbes- im assuming youre talking bout Hyped and Mike_E. Hyped just said he was going to start it but i havent seen anything yet. tough topic...

There's a reason that Tournament Throwdowns has been around on this site, functioning fully, for the past 9 months or so. Same thing with SIFS, NMI, and even the Elite TDer's tourney does it the way that you don't. You've got this backwards, man.

July 10, 2008  03:08 PM ET

Well, I really don't want to be like those goody-goo-goos. They think they are the best when in reality we are. We have our own rules and we are going to use them not someone else's.

July 10, 2008  03:33 PM ET

Keeper! I love you man; but "playing through the winter hurt ot help English futbol"--now that's a hair-raising topic everyone will want to read about!!!! Not. ;)

It assures that stores will sell more winter gear for cold-football-watching....
If they stopped playing, what would I do all winter?

Funny stuff...

July 10, 2008  04:16 PM ET

D-Wreck - I think he means how the EPL keeps playing through Christmas andNew Year's when every other major european league takes a two to three week break.

July 10, 2008  06:13 PM ET

Yeah, and I didn't come up with that. All of these topics were made by my fellow SoccerNation members.
