I have been doing a 100 team soccer tournament based off of 2015 club rankings. The tournament is in three parts, an 8 team starter tournament. Then a 32 team tournament in that includes the four semi finalist from the 8 team tournament. Then the final 64 team tournament. I will give progressions and results from matches.

Now I know Bill Belichick is an excellent coach, but a great mind can always use another excellent mind to work with. The great Patriot teams of the earlier decade had far less athletic defenders. But they also had great defensive coordinators to take up the slack. When I look at their current defense I see potential greatness with great young talent. Talent that proved themselves...
