they seem week to your eyes, but all those players, staff,and fans regardless of nationality are taking part in making american football an international sport

if you love football, you should respect those who are trying to spread this wonderful sport to the world

Yes, there is a World Cup of International American Football. The next one will be in Austria sometime between June and July 2011 and it is growing. The IFAF gets more and more countries to sign up with each World Cup. There are about 45 member countries (last I heard) with numbers increasing each year.

wow I never knew they had games like this.

USA doesn't care about winning it or we would actually use our good players.

Japan is probably among the best international teams I've been seeing. They really can move the ball.

Most people in America don't know all the details of the sport (particularly the strategy that goes into calling plays), however they enjoy going to games and watching on television. It's played by a lot of people in schools and universities and that helps a lot. I think more people would enjoy the sport if they knew how to play or knew someone who played they could go see in action.

As a swedish fan of american football I don't really care if Sweden sucks in this video, it is nice to see that football is on its way to become an international sport. Most people in Sweden for example doesn't know shit about the sport and therefore there aren't many people playing, but the teams that exist keep trying to gain new members and hopefully the sport will grow here too. Some tv channels shows the NFL and that also helps of course. Sorry if my grammar is a bit off ;)

[ABAthe24]

You'd think Japan would not be any good...weird, they're pretty good

[GotHoai]

This is great seeing football spread to the rest of the world, I don't know bout you guys but this is much more exciting than a bunch of guys kickin a ball around

@golden7323 I'm not sure why I wrote that 4 months ago. I think I seriously invented a Canadian hard luck story to amuse myself, then vomited it on the internet. If I knew Japan won so often, probably thanks to wikipedia, why didn't I know Canada never even played in the event? Anyway, I think this is Mexico's year. Based on nothing, of course.

@JohnSmithAprilMay Japan only won the first two because the States and Canada weren't there, the States were at the last one and won, Canada will be here for the first time, and I know the CFL is a lot of Americans but there still is a lot of solid Canadians.
