do you know if the world cup will be televised in the US? I doubt it. but that would be cool if it was.
This is the stupidest idea I ever heard. It's called "American" football. This isn't even a real national team because it's made up of scrubs who couldn't even make it to the NFL.
We all know America is the best at american football so why not just have other countries compete in the World Cup?
The reason for doing this is precisely that America is clearly the best at the sport.
If America ignores this competition, then a vital opportunity to expand the popularity of the game will have been lost. On the other hand, sending the Indianapolis Colts would demoralize and discourage other countries from taking up the game (not to mention send the competition home in body bags).
98% of collegiate football players do not make the NFL. That does not make them scrubs.
So why no update about this for a month? Is this still going on. Any chance of getting some highlights on YouTube?
I think the first poster is wishfully thinking to expect to see this on tv.
I've been busy. It's still going on. Team USA now has its own webpage, which is linked in the top right.
