[@Half-Axd]

Didn't know this existed on the other side of the pond. It's great to see this sport expand and people having fun playing it. Well done!

Thankfully someone is uploading highlights of these games, cause it’s not our British league federation that’s doing anything useful like that…

America.should have sent reinforcements to GB before the second quarter. Germany has to strong of a blitz for GB to handle.

[@tam1381]

GB defence was on holiday. Hope they enjoyed it.

holiday in coventry, imagine

I really didnt expect germany to be better than UK...

[@FreedomDefender07]

Regardless of the results of this game, I LOVE seeing Great Britain play American football. Seems like more and more countries are starting to understand how fun of a game it is to play. :)

This cool 😎

GBs timing routes are so late. If Germany plays them close or jams off the line of scrimmage, they could’ve really made the passing game difficult. But it’s also really hard to watch teams consistently pass into coverage. Pulling guards and tackles really makes a difference. GB has a 4-2-5 front that really looked capable. They stacked the box well though. Germany just played with more grit and had a sound game. They play like they’re not tired. Dangerous.

I cant believe they are playing football!

oh, just google the history of american footbal in europe, especially germany, great subculture

GB need an offense that utilises better their RBs

[@h_o_p_s2981]

GB's safetys are horrible. In general you cannot even closely compare this to the NFL, but I actually love to see that this sport is getting bigger here in europe. Also happy as a german that they won :)

[@jwgolf5442]

I don’t see anyone comparing this to the NFL?

[@Smitty753]

So Germany is a better football country than Great Britain that's interesting it makes sense because their football leagues are overall better, especially with the EFL.

[@FABRHighlights]

GFL is probably the best domestic league in Europe so its no surprise that Germany is so good. Its going to be a hell of a game against Austria next year!!

[@xanderlerno8792]

Doesn't turkey and the netherlands play this league?

[@FABRHighlights]

They are playing a inferior level, like a D2 kind of league so they can prepare to the elite level. Ireland is also playing it and won Netherlands last weekend, highlights are available at Full Time Productions channel

[@kentgrady9226]

Now I know how Brits feel when they hear American announcers at ⚽ matches. Most of the vocabulary is more or less correct, but the syllabic emphasis is about a half beat off. Frequent regression from proper sport-specific vernacular to native dialect. The accent is all wrong. Because I'm a fan of both the world game and the American game (I say "football" for both and really upon context for distinction), I refuse to criticize European 🏈 players. Obviously, they're not as sharp and crisp as Americans. They're new to the game. They generally lack high level coaching and youth development. Because the sport is foreign and new to them, it doesn't tend to attract the highest caliber of available talent. We have the same issue with ⚽, although we have made progress - respectable World Cup results, native born American players in top leagues, etc. The real deficit lies in the lower tiers. Regardless, I'm gratified to see Europeans playing 🏈. I hope they're equally glad to see ⚽ growing in quality and popularity over here.

I guess both teams are worse than every US-Highschool teams. It hurt to watch this.

[@FABRHighlights]

You need to take into account that every highschool team from US have players that practice since their birth, while most of those national teams are made by players who first played football after 12 yo. Also they do not practice together not near as much as a school team. Its good to note that in IFAF U20 World Cup, US lost to both Japan and Austria too.

[@sirtom0815]

Was the same for Basketball a long time. Imagine, european football players are being 100% taking it as a job. Most of the players you see here, have a real life job to feed their families.

[@RoyalMela]

Don't watch then.

[@Yosser70]

What’s your point? Same way America isn’t that good at soccer. Kids play and know their national sport as soon as they can walk, so it’s no surprise really.

[@jessicaschaub3547]

Looks like High School football though.

[@rockerfarm6445]

interest isn't that high yet

[@sosimple3585]

Yep. This is only played by a few amateur enthusiasts, so the skill level is kind of like cricket in the US.

[@rockerfarm6445]

@@sosimple3585 that isn't eentirely correect, many german players are either on ELF or GFL teams which are kinda professional, in a very raw sense though

[@sosimple3585]

@@rockerfarm6445 Oh, interesting. Semi-pro. I didn't know that.

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

A good high school team to be fair. They men playing are better than high schoolers but the understanding of how to play is not there yet. GB has pooooor coaching. Germany has better fitness and athletes.
