Pat wouldn't know this but most college scholarships prevent the student from participating in other football leagues. Yes even team USA. So even those high school freshmen that have committed to a scholarship would be ineligible to play for team USA. No one with a scholarship from D1 or D2 is going to play for team USA under the current system. Honestly can't blame them when they could be one injury from their football career being done.

[@RandyJohnson-ru2iq]

Before anyone overreacts, please hear me out. 1st, my background - I am an American who has lived in Japan for nearly 40 years. I know Japanese culture, language and thinking VERY well. I have been going to watch the Japanese semi-pro X League football games for 15 seasons now. They got good players who play in the CFL, but they are not main players in the CFL, but rather 3rd string and or practice squad members. 2nd - This is an Under 20 international tournament, not a top level tournament. 3rd - This Japanese team consists of a mixture of Japanese kids who have lived most of their lives in the USA, and, American kids who have a Japanese ethnic background, and, are mixed race kids with dual Japanese and American citizenship. Only some on this Japanese team have true blue Japanese citizenship as in Japanese guys born and raised in Japan only. 4th - This so-called American team consists of guys who at best may play at the NCAA division 3 level, but I suspect some or most of them are at the junior college tech level, or, are guys who played high school ball and this is their last rodeo. Seriously, but look at how out of shape some of those guys are and their lack of athleticism. Plus the coaching on the U.S. side is miserable. 5th - In saying all that, the Japanese are getting better at football, period. There is no doubt about it. I suspect it won't be too long to where we will see a Japanese guy from Japan who will play in the NFL. It may or may not happen in my lifetime, but it is coming. I guarantee. it. 6th - The Japanese never give up. Never. One should never under any circumstances underestimate the Japanese, ever. The Japanese could be getting blown out in any kind of sporting event but you would never know it because they never give up until the very end of the game, ever. What that means is that we are witnessing live from year to year, decade to decade how the Japanese have been getting better and better at football. Decades ago it was just a dream of the Japanese to have a Japanese citizen to play in the NFL and now it is becoming a reality. Again, it will happen, but it is just a matter of time. 6th - If the U. S. had put a respectable team out there on the field, we would see different results. But the fact of the matter is that the U.S. is hodge podge at best and the Japanese team looked really good at this Under 20 level. They looked sharp, practiced, serious, and ready to play. The U.S. looked abysmal. Yet, in saying that despite the U.S. being a ragtag team, they still scored 20 on a better Japanese team. 6th - So what does that mean? It means, as I said before, that that Japanese have CERTAINLY improved at playing football over the years, but I can guarantee that if the U.S. had put a well organized, well-coached USA team out there that the U.S team would win handily. There is not question about it. But, it is what it is and the Japanese are taking this tournament (as all tournaments of any sport ) seriously and the U.S. is not. Japan deserved this win and the U.S. had better re-think their approach to any internamtional tournament that we play in. ( I am sick and tired of the U.S. putting out an inferior product when it comes to football, baseball to give the opposing teams a leg up. It is frankly nauseating. )

Americans (again) I think are too small minded to know that just as an example Japan is one of the world‘s leading Rugby teams… if you think American Football is tough you haven’t seen Rugby yet. My guess is some of those guys that weren’t quite good enough for rugby made it to this team and gave you a lecture.

[@alanwylie7207]

I agree with you in the rugby sense I think a lot of football players could learn from that with that being said the US did not send even their remotely best under 20 kids None of these guys play at Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, or any of the power schools. A lot of them don’t even play division one. Now there is a guy I heard from New Jersey that visited Ruckers and a Notre Dame commit but these are highschoolers. I will give Japan credit or credit is due though they are catching up in football. They wanted it more, but this is not a representation of what American football really is over here. The USA under 20 team hasn’t won this tournament in quite a while. I don’t think that this Japanese team could be the best under 20 players that committed the division one schools or that our high school all Americans. But Japan is catching up at the same time that’s my point.

[@s0uldr4ke]

@@alanwylie7207 I didn't intend to deny the dominance the US has in tackle/american football. It most likely will always only be a major sports in the states. I have no doubt this is more of a case of the US lost the game then Japan winning it. However, I saw the McAfee video about this and also read the comments being surprised/impressed by the japanese O-line. That is what my comment was aimed at.

[@alanwylie7207]

@@s0uldr4ke oh I get it OK that makes a lot more sense sorry for misunderstanding you I think that rugby is actually pretty similar to American football. There’s a rugby player that’s going to play for the Kansas City Chiefs this season that I have high expectations for. those guys are tough too. I don’t think they don’t wear helmets and rugby. Do they? but I’m sorry for misunderstanding.

[@s0uldr4ke]

@@alanwylie7207 no problem. Helmets the players themselves can decide. There are certain caps they can wear because rugby players otherwise often lose part or even all of their ears. Its for a higher level of protection but many decide against it. I didn’t knew that a rugby player will join Kansas I am gonna look forward to that. Do you know on which position he plays? Given the fact that in rugby everybody must be able to run, everybody must be able to catch and everybody must stop a guy running into him at top speed on his own I would be shocked if a rugby player performed badly as a RB or especially Lineman. But I think as a WR they would struggle because sudden tackles coming in your back do not happen in Rugby, it is always a frontal assault.
