Usa Vs ?
<div class="IPBDescription">At American Football</div> Was thinking earlier has the USA ever put together a National American Football team for the purpose of playing a foerign country at it?
I'm not actually aware of anyone aside for the US that plays American Football but you never know <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I would have a hard time naming one team in the European NFL as would the majority of people in the UK I bet.
That doesn't really answer my main question tho...
American football should call itself by its true name: Wuss-Rugby.
No I was thinking along the lines of a USA national team vs a french national team for example. Not New York Giants vs some crap team from Brussels lol

btw it's called football because the ball is a foot in lenght dumarse not because you kick it.
Are you insulting a great traditional AMERICAN sport? You had better not, or you'll meet my shotgun.

Nice try on the derailing Nil IQ, now go elsewhere.
Back on topic, what you'd like is say an all-star U.S team vs a European team. Kool!

calling football soccer is an insult
(okay, so that was an overly long title, but I don't remember the name of any particular "soccer club" for which the fans are particularly violent. So I threw them all in one team <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

I'm a naturalized American citizen, and I truly do love the United States.
But he's right when he says that football is wuss-rugby. Have you ever seen a game of rugby? Those guys could scrum for minutes and it looks insane. Not to mention that when you've actually broken the scrum, all hell breaks loose and if you get tackled, be prepare to book that bed at your local hospital.
They don't wear any armor or protection either, that's hardcore.
I'm all for turning the NFL into a rugby league. That would be awesome!

Rugby deserves to be over in the corner with cricket and polo, so kindly leave it there and try to remain on topic here. Try hard.
Back on topic, are there any qualifed European (American style) football teams that could compete on the same level with an NFL All-Star team? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
<a href='http://www.nfleurope.com/' target='_blank'>NFL - Europe</a>
<a href='http://www.gridironuk.co.uk/' target='_blank'>British American Football League (BAFL)</a>
<a href='http://www.efaf.de/' target='_blank'>European Federation of American Football (EFAF)</a>
These players are stone-cold <i>mercenaries</i>. Right now, I can guarantee that no team could compete with an allstar American team. Hopefully football takes off and that changes, someday.
PS: There's a good reason why rugby players last three years until their bodies are shot for the rest of their lives. Football players are much bigger than rugby players. I can say with a fair deal of certainty that there are no rugby players who are 300 punds of solid muscle.
Plus, football is more fun to watch.
*edit* AND I SERIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT UNTIL FOOTBALL SEASON

Or maybe it's because the ball is... a foot long.
What about cricket? I guess Cricket must involve a lot of squeaking and flying around and infesting garages, then.
Or Rugby. Where are the rugs?
Names are names. Don't try to put more or less meaning into the sport itself just because of the name.

Jets hey? The only NFL team to be quarter-backed by a dood wearing panty hose.
J/k ... Willie Joe rocked, in spite of his cross-dressing tendicies. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

@Thaldarin: Dunno man, I'm not aware of it if it does get played over here. Of course I'm just a mediocre sports buff.
