CANADA 2 X AUSTRALIA | IFAF U20 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS | Game Highlights 

Is he bigger than you?

As a Canadian, I fear it won't be long before the Aussies are contenders.

Australia is pretty much involved in all sports.

The sport is not called gridiron. That's just a nickname. Not sure why Aussies always call it gridiron.

@@rk74194Because they can't call it football, because they have their OWN variation of football.

@@Evan-hockputer Which they call AFL.

@@rk74194 But that's a league.

Well established and top contender Mexico national team dropped out last minutes for financial reasons

@@jeancharlesmeffe8333 Oh that's right! How could I forget about Mexico not being present with them consistently having strong showings in these international tournaments? Sorry about that and that's too bad that Mexico couldn't attend in the end. It would be nice if financial assistance could be arranged to help more teams to attend in future editions of the tournament.

It's not going to happen any time soon with AFL trying to contain its international development.

Nobody outside Australia cares about Aussie rules. It's the most stupid sport of all. Like a bunch of kids jumping around the ball. You cannot consider it as a sport.

@aetfggdgdfgret If it's not your type of game, fine. But those who are keen on helping it to develop internationally get nothing but resistance and whackamole from the AFL if things start to develop anywhere. You're obviously not aware of this, and to think it has little or no international potential or following is wishful thinking and ignorance.

@@jimyoung6271 you just earned yourself a like from me for your comment mate.

They do, its the afl international cup. Been goin for ages lmao

I played American football in the Sydney competition from 1985 to 1995. We played during the Australian winter, only a college-length season of 10-12 games. It was never a big sport but it was interesting to play, and it was nice to be in at the start of a sport.

Aussie rules is not a sport. It's just like bunch of kids jumping around the ball. It's embarrassing for normal adult people to play something stupid like that.

Reasonable fan base in Australia I dont know how you classify what a easonable fan base is I dont know a single person that actually watches the game. Probably a bit like AFL or Rugby League in the Americas you may get a few watching it on pay TV late at night especially expats but the majority of people in those 2 countries probably wouldnt know that the games existed and even if they did they wouldnt bother watching them.

@@aetfggdgdfgret 4th most attended sport in the world my friend.

@@aetfggdgdfgretSome people would refer the Australian Rules Football Code as Aerial Ping Pong &/or Seagulls fighting over (1 One) lousy Hot Potato Chip that had fallen out of somebody's lunch from a Fish & Chip (Chippie) Shop of course.

We invented the game. Also the American field is smaller and they get 4 downs as opposed to 3.

From wikipedia --- _"The term touchdown is a holdover from gridiron's early days when the ball was required to be touched to the ground as in rugby, as rugby and gridiron were still extremely similar sports at this point. This rule was changed to the modern-day iteration in 1889."_

NFL games or even College games are an awesome spectacle. For a foreigner from a rugby nation the game itself lacks action as it stops and starts every few seconds, with very little happening between the stops, but as an event it can be mind blowing. There is sooooo much happening in the car park, cafés, and bars around the ground it’s almost irrelevant what happens on the field. SERIOUSLY….. when College Airforce play at home they have F16s doing burnouts 300 metres above the stadium. It’s fckng awesome!

@@keefrasputin634 This is CFL 3 Downs..100 Yard field. In Alberta Not Ohio ???

@@user-ur1qo4fp1f sorry….I have no idea what you are saying 🤷‍♂️

@@keefrasputin634 Canadian football league has 3 downs and used to have a 110 yard grid. and a larger ball. I know every body likes to think were American, but we do things in a slightly different order

I think they are all on the camera side. You can hear them

The camera angle. Only one side of the pitch has one. This is Canadian Football from Edmonton AB. CA.I think the Fans are all in Calgary at the Stampede🤠🍁

His momentum from the catch brought him into the endzone, therefore it is a touchback. Source: If a defensive player, in the field of play, intercepts a pass or catches or recovers a fumble, backward pass, scrimmage kick, free kick, or fair catch kick, and his original momentum carries him into his end zone where the ball is declared dead in his team’s possession. The ball belongs to the defensive team at the spot where the player’s foot or other body part touched the ground to establish possession. If that spot is in the end zone, the result of the play is a touchback, even if the ball is not on, above, or beyond the goal line. (11-6-1)

Can guarantee no one in Australia or in the team are embarrassed!

@@brianandrea3249 standing around in the endzone watching the game is embarrassing.

@@andysparks1973 tell you what’s embarrassing, having a go at a bunch of players who are probably not even high school standard, but represent their country as the best we have from a very minuscule pool. At least they are having a crack.

@@brianandrea3249 i didnt say they were " below high school standard" .
