The Chiefs/Pats AFC title game is gonna be insane.

Guess the steelers knew what they were doing moving on.

England could have helped set the standard over the past year but they buried their heads and let the rest of the world set the lower bar. Now the PL looks rediculous enforcing a standard that is so far away from EVERY league and tournament in the world.

It's amazing how much Scotland has fallen. Two teams in the CL group stage used to be standard.
