But it is a world stage.. Ifaf is the governing body of the game of football iirc? So wherever the championship is its the world stage The Ifaf has zero oversight of the NFL, of NCAA football, of HS football, of Local youth/pop warner football etc. What exactly does it govern? While international competition is the world stage for many sports, it isn't for a select few--Football, Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Tennis... My point being, is it a "world stage" if the world doesn't care? We might just be arguing word usage and semantics, but bottom line, whether this is a "world stage" or not...the world doesn't really care. No it doesn't mate..

This is garbage football. I can't believe there are 2 pages of comments here about it. 3 games in a week? What a joke. I'm pretty sure most of our high school teams could beat these teams. Well these are all semi-pro athletes from around the world (and US is recent college football players), in a sport that is probably quite pricey around the world with the equipment necessary, with a ton less experience and coaching, taking time out of work and family to don a national jersey. I'm sure if you talk to all the participants, it is no joke. I'll tell you what, they're at a higher level playing in a World Cup, something I've never done, and something probably most all of us here haven't. I think it is a positive that this wonderful sport we love is spreading and being played in more places than ever before. Well said sir

But is that a talent based issue, or a process one? As I mentioned earlier, American football doesn't seem conducive to this type of process. How are the teams selected? How long have they practiced together/trained together? The quality of the product on the field reflects that American Football is not really a sport that does well in this format. Some Great points.. And These national teams only have limited time to learn offence defence and teams very short time

Name a bigger stage currently for world American football? The biggest stage...doesn't mean it is a world stage. Just like the World Fast Draw Association world champion might be the biggest stage for quick draw shooting...but that doesn't really mean it is world stage. But it is a world stage.. Ifaf is the governing body of the game of football iirc? So wherever the championship is its the world stage

So these men should not play or coach a sport they enjoy, prob love because the football is garbage... ? The level of football outside of the USA is prob semi pro level at best.. For the whole... most of the men who play just like the ones who play here in UK it's s hobby.. They work full time.. And fit the sport in around work and family Does not mean they shouldn't be allowed to play the sport right?

Our rugby team played English teams twice. One was a town club team touring the States (At the after-party they drank the bar out of gin) and the other was a pickup team from a British Navy ship. We were a pretty decent club team but we got our clocks cleaned both times. We had to think about doing things that they did automatically. Exactly. My rugby coach from when I played in NYC recently is from New Zealand, played pro there as well as in Japan and England. He said one of the big things coaching here is that simple automatics are taken for granted have to be coached up here from the bottom up. I'm sure the same applies for football. A big thing not to underestimate as well is the coaching. I'm sure as the years go by the coaching and coach education aspect is improving and there is more material in different languages for coaches to learn. Exactly this.. But for football

Grand scheme of things... USA whooping a team 82 zip is not good for the game on the world stage... Uh...the original dream team had an average margin of victory of 43.8 points. That didn't seem to hurt international basketball. I would say that this isn't really a "world stage" however. Name a bigger stage currently for world American football?

This was originally supposed to take place in Stockholm but after it fell through.. Abunch of good teams could not afford the trip to canton Canada I'm surprised still pulled out the comp

i just like the idea that football is spreading to other countries - hopefully in the years to come, the competition across the board will be elevated - we will see some more teams come in (16 - 20?) and we will get some really good football going internationally - and hopefully they keep the sponsors and ESPN out of it. budweiser and ESPN ruined the NFL and starting to do the same to NCAA. Football has been played here in the UK since 1984 iirc Our 3 tier senior league has over 60 teams And our 3 tier university league is the largest in Europe.... And it's been in some of the other euro mainstays as long It's def more popular now but Europe has been playing this sport for a long time..

Offences tend to lose more games than defences... A offence will usually make mistakes that can change the course of a game.. It's our job to limit them.. I have never had the desire to coach defence just beat em

One of my college coaches said, "Defense is what you do while the offense rests." Of course, he was OC. I like this quote

Between this and "arousal response", I'm thinking we need a clinic on titling threads. Keep thinking it's spam like the shoe guy

Phone: who the hades has time to chat on the phone at practice? Hades I treasure that 2 hours that I don't have to worry about the wife/mom/principal/sister/da neighbor bugging me with a phone call. Watch: the $8.99 digital you can buy at the Get-N-Go tells the same time the one with a nike check on it does. Can't wear a watch to practice gets in the way during drills etc and it's a matter of time before it breaks. So I have to carry my phone. Which does weigh down the pocket or your scared of losing an iPhone if your pockets r not deep enough.. I know 1st world probs but as Bdud said.. Basketball shorts have way deeper pockets for some reason..

both of our jerseys last year were sublamated.. ROAD HOME these are imho durable and stretchy.. however for some reason are deemed cheap and not really a football jersey, they look and feel more like a rugby league jersey... How do you get away with not wearing white on the road? I love the yellow look. in our leagues, as long as its a none clashing colour it doesnt matter.. doesnt have to be white.. tbh we never actually got to wear the yellow.. only the youth team wore the yellows that year.. this year we got a uni upgrade supplied by alpha europe HOME ROAD

I think it should be Hc only
Currently we do offence / defence then come together...
Always feel do I say this or leave it to coach.,etc etc so ur mind is almost sidetracked when your trying to emphasise a point or 3
I have no problems with doing it..,but think Hc addressing the team is better..

There is a company called Pro Look Sports that does fully sublimated uniforms. We ordered jerseys and compression shirts from them this year. We haven't gotten them in yet, but the designs looked awesome! You should def post pix when u get em bud

In conference/division i wouldnt talk nuiances(sp?)of how you approach different things. ex: how to pick up a blitz, how you change play at the line. sensitive stuff like that. This ^ beyond that I'm open to anyone who wants to learn about what we run.. Especially this side of the pond.. I'm all for bringing new coaches through and sharing info...
