USA vs. Mexico sounds halfway decent. Mexico has a surprisingly robust amateur football culture.

EDIT: Those goddamn crowds

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 mean you would think that international teams would at least be good at kicking but everything is a squib

Mexico unsurprisingly is really good at it

EDIT: Wobbly bullet pass into double coverage for an INT. This is like that Breaking Madden when he sets everything to 1

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.

I am still amazed a four-year showdown of teams from around the globe can barely fit 25% of Canton, Ohio's stadium when the USA is playing

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

Its amazing to me because even if everyone's parents came the crowd would be bigger

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

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"

What is the point behind this league? How long do these guys practice together for?

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.

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

I'm trying to figure out how you could make this more fair for the non USA teams... Like only allow the US to recruit players that are 35 years old or older, having never played professionally.

The US would still probably dominate...

let old retired NFL players who think they can still go become dual citizens

Ocho would become Mexican so fast
