Guess what I haven't updated in a while? This! Fortunately, I have found a pretty stimulating topic...the IFAF World Championships.
?
The IFAF is the International Federation of American Football. So this the World Cup of American Football we're talking about here. And guess who's looking to clean house? Yup, a group of about 65 undrafted (and still playing?) college players from the good old USA. One of the Team USA captains is former Northwestern LB Demetrius Eaton, which is what brought this event to the forefront of my attention.
So, how are they doing so far? Well, the US is in Pool 2 with Germany and Korea -- Pool 1 consists of host Japan, Sweden and France -- and they just played their first match. The US seemed to be shaking a bit of the rust off, scraping by Korea 77-0.
77-0
Korea had no 1st downs. 1 complete pass. -47 rushing yards (yes that's negative) and -31 total yards. The US scored on two punt returns, one kickoff return, a blocked punt, a fumble return, and an interception return. Demetrius Eaton had 1 tackle (for a loss) and one assist.
The matchup against Germany in pool play and the presumed championship against Japan should provide a little more of a test for the US.
