First, loved the highlight of one of my all time favorite Fighting Irish players, QB Tony Rice.
Second, I remember watching a WLAF game (the relaunched all european version). And listening to the annouchers covering the fact that the home team crowd mistakenly cheers when the opposing team scored a touchdown.
Right, but my point is that the WLAF had its own governing body outside the NFL head offices at one time, and they made the decisions for the direction of the league. But once the NFL controlled 100% of the governing operations and took it away from the governing body, the quality became unwatchable garbage.

@AllPro777 WLAF was always NFL-owned.

This was good football. The NFL took it over and ruined into the trash known as NFL Europe.

I am grateful to you because I thought I could never find anything of the World League from that era here. Thanks for uploading this.
