   Would have been embarrassing for an American team to lose, but I hope that other nations pick up the game so one day it’s like basketball, with many high level players coming from other nations.

   The biggest difference between the American and European game is the quarterback play. Same reason the USA doesn’t produce world class midfielders in soccer. The position is so technical and requires a full community embrace of the sport from a young age to be elite

   Massillon, Ohio, like neighboring Canton, is football Holy Land. The first completed forward pass in a pro game was made in Massillon in 1906. One of the famous 1924 Notre Dame Four Horsemen, Harry Stuhldreher, was form Massillon. Massillon has the 2nd most winningest football program at 948 total wins. The Tigers have 25 state titles and 9 national titles. Massillon was first to use helmet decals. The Massillon/McKinley (Canton) game, AKA "The War of 1894", is the greatest high school rivalry game of all time–being the only regular season high school game you could bet on in Las Vegas for decades.

   And of course… Massillon is the hometown of legendary head coach, innovator of numerous elements of modern football, founder of the Cincinnati Bengals, namesake and founder of the Cleveland Browns–Paul Brown. Brown basically started his coaching career in Massillon. Many of his innovations were developed there as he won 6 state titles and 4 national titles in 8 years of coaching. If you've ever wondered why the Browns team color is orange–it's in homage to Brown's beloved hometown Tigers. Brown's choice of the Cincinnati Bengals name is an obvious homage as well.

   As a former Massillonian, I am very impressed with the Massillon Tigers. They were always champions when I attended Washington High School.
