WTF? This is an actual international sporting competition? Click the link below:

This was the actual front page story when I went to Scout.com. This shows how sick the fascination Scout.com has with football. Front page story? Seriously?
What other country really plays American football. I mean REALLY plays? Mexico does a little bit but nonetheleess the passion for the pigskin is still limited to a small number of high schools located near Texas. Come on. Only we Americans really commit ourselves to football at all levels. There shouldn't even be an international competition for this. Actually there isn't any international competition considering the USA has outscored its first two opponents 133 to 0. That's including a crushing defeat of France (France!!) 78 to ZERO.
Canada plays the USA for the Gold medal. Canada defeated Japan 38 to 35. Not to stereotype the Japanese or anything, but if Canada is squeaking past that squad its team might as well forfeit the gold medal game right now.
This must be the result of American football folks trying to "grow" the sport internationally by creating or pushing for such events. Someone should tell them to just be happy with football dominance in the USA because the sport is far from catching hockey or baseball internationally and its never going to catch basketball and especially soccer either.
