"This is our sport; we feel like we are the pros," Doucette said after leading the US to a 53-21 victory. His comments underline the legitimacy and competitiveness of flag football as its own entity, dismissing the idea that it is merely an offshoot of traditional tackle football.
"And whoever wants to come up with competition for the reigning champions, we're looking forward to it," Doucette added, demonstrating confidence in the US team while also inviting challenges, signaling that the squad is ready to defend their title against any contenders, including NFL stars.
Coach Jorge Cascudo's US men went 7-0 in Finland, outscoring opponents 370-111, with an average margin of victory at 34.9 points, reflecting the team's dominance in the world of flag football despite not featuring some high-profile NFL players.
Doucette's remarks capped off a four-day tournament that solidified how dominant the US has been in flag football even without household NFL names, highlighting the skill and established prowess of the current roster.
