Surely everybody knows that there's a FOOTBALL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP tournament taking place at Canton, Ohio just about now. From a over the world, from every major gridiron football country, some of which have literally hundreds of people who have ever played football, a careful selection process of "can you afford to buy your own gear and a plane ticket to the US" has chosen the start-studded all-star teams to face other countries in a true World Championship. Also, there are some dudes from NCAA representing the USA. Schedule (actual page has score spoilers)  The games are broadcast on ESPN3 and streamed live: http://ifafworldchampionship.org/watch-live South Korea vs Australia https://youtu.be/VnSsfV-IYBk?t=7m33s Brazil vs France https://youtu.be/VnSsfV-IYBk?t=3h50m43s Mexico vs USA https://youtu.be/VnSsfV-IYBk?t=9h17m24s The games are played by NCAA rules, except with 12 minute quarters, the fact that everybody is terrible at football, and the matchups/schemes are occasionally hilarious. pigdog fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jul 10, 2015 |

USA vs. Mexico sounds halfway decent. Mexico has a surprisingly robust amateur football culture. EDIT: Those goddamn crowds Mel Mudkiper fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Jul 10, 2015 |

The first play for USA vs. Mexico that they show is a 50+ yard return that ends on the returner tripping over his own feet when he tries to switch carrying hands and getting a Bulldog this loving rules

I love the idea of calling a Wide Receiver screen pass from your own 1 yard line. Hahahaha, the ensuing punt was great as well (just watched it as I typed this post).

So far the only thing that is working for either team is plain runs up the middle. They will have a run to pick up some decent yards, then do something stupid like an end-around or, even worse, try and pass the ball down field. I

If I had a team with no real football skills I'm pretty sure I would call runs up the middle every time. Just tell 9 guys to push dudes as hard as they can and hope a hole opens up for the ball carrier.

Coworker came over to my desk to find out why I'm laughing so hard I'm almost crying, and now we've got a small crowd watching SK vs Australia, so much for getting anything done today.

I love how turnover insane USA vs. Mexico is. It's not even the defense being good. Its the offense being amazingly awful. A WR tricked his own QB into throwing into coverage.

Some of these plays are like a 6 year old just randomly picking poo poo on Madden. Korea just did a a goal line formation with a quarterback sneak on 2nd and 10 on their own side of the field. They actually ended up picking up 4 yards, with the quarterback subsequently fumbling a snap on 3rd and 6.

I really want to see the winners of the tournament face off against the 2008 Lions I guess I'd settle for the 2014 Titans, Raiders, or Bucs\ e; What're the eligibility requirements? Is there an age limit? Dramatika fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jul 10, 2015 |

Dramatika posted:I really want to see the winners of the tournament face off against the 2008 Lions Just have to be an amateur. The roster for Team USA appears to be made up of the best just graduated college players who did not make a professional team on any level, including camp invites, Arena or CFL.

They really need to stop showing the wide pan out of the entire stadium. D3 football games are more well attended and better played.

You know how America always underwhelms at Soccer in the WC because all of our best athletes play other sports? This is the inverse. EDIT: Wow the French QB is... diplomatically speaking... not very good

While I wasn't expecting NFL calibre play, I really thought their punter would be able to do better than a 20 yard shank out of bounds.
