The French REALLY like fumbling the ball (but are good at recovering it). I think in the last game they had three back to back fumbles.

BTW if you missed the Halftime interview with the head of the French national team it was hilariously embarassing.

"Is football growing in popularity in France?"

"no"

"Are there are schools that have football teams?"

"no"

Everytime they say "French touchdown" it sounds like some sort of sex act.

This isn't a league. It's the international American football federation. Literally the FIFA of American football.

The purpose of this tournament is to legitimize football as an international sport which makes it so much funnier

The Australian team is apparently made up of guys who never played the sport and bought their own plane tickets. That is not a joke.

As far as I understand it, it's an actual amateur world championship and the 6 teams are the ones qualifying from regional rounds from ~70. The goal behind it is to make football an Olympic sport, which would then let the countries' national Olympic Committees finance it from government budgets, and hopefully make it a real competition.

Apparently they only let the Americans play once they agreed to use players who have never been in contact with a professional team ever. Meaning an UDFA who was cut from the practice squad before the first preseason game is too talented to play.

I love how some of these stats speak to the incompetence of the other team more than their own talent

"That is the second time this tournament he has recovered a fumble on the first drive of the opponent's team"

Also, this run defense held their opponents a net -6 yards in the last game

This is looking to be a pretty solid game thus far. Japanese D-line is pretty fast and their QB can throw the ball a bit.
