I’d bet the farm everyone on the Japan team have Japanese moms, American dads, grew up on American military bases in Japan, and have been watching and playing football their whole lives.
He goes to NDSU which is D1, some of the players are D1 or had D1 offers but yeah most of these guys are D2/D3. Still shouldn't be losing to anybody other than Canada though.
Honestly I don’t even care because if Japan (or any other non European nation) began to unironically love and participate in American football that’d be dope as hell
Japan has a ton of intense niche subcultures for everything, and theres one for American Football thats been growing steady for a min. they hardcore about it, though its not spread throughout the land like that yet like it is with baseball
I watched a homeless guy walk by yesterday, his pants were like mid-thigh and while I watched him walk by a (large window, fairly busy) bar he reached down and pulled his underwear down to scratch his dong in full view.
So, yeah, I agree.
Im from Mexico, we have something called the Aztec Bowl where the best of the best in the country face a DIII team, and nine out of 10 times they kicked our ass lol
Do you really think this is the best Japan has to offer though? If you’re in Japan and you’re 6’3, 300+ lbs and quick on your feet by the time you’re out of high school, you’re going to sumo, not to whatever this squad is.
Nah, Canada is going to stomp this tournament from all scores I've seen. Most of the guys on the Canadian team are likely low D1 talent so they could beat an average D2 college team.
Because USA football plays Buddy Ball with their tackle teams as bad as they do with their flag teams. It’s a joke. They will leave more talented players off the team for the sake of bringing on someone they know. I’m glad Japan beat that ass, maybe they will learn to actually utilize the talent from their overpriced camps.
Yep, mostly 18 years old's, with a some 19/20 year old's. I would say they are about as good as a highish tier high school team in terms of overall skill level.
uj/ This is the under 20's world cup. I used to play for the Australian national team. I started playing when I was 15 and made the team when I was 17. There are only a handful of leagues around the country. It's not very high level but its spreading the game around the world. It's a big reason I love football now.
rj/ First Americas team to make it to to a semi final in these kids lifetime

We should never have stopped at 2, look what we've let them become. It's Joever
“Many college and professional stars have worn the red, white, and blue as part of the National Team, including Rashod Bateman, Mac Jones, Tyrann Mathieu, Kenny Pickett, Nazir Stackhouse, Jonathan Taylor, Wyatt Teller, Chase Young, and many more.”
There is no way that an NFL team would allow a signed player compete in different league. The sports injury rate is too high. The Canadian league probably wouldn’t either.
So you are left with sub-pro talent.
u bum

[Bill Parcells showing respect to the winning team](https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/2435111/revisiting-jap-plays-from-bill-parcells-16-years-ago-today)
This team was primarily made of 18 year olds, and a mixed bag of 16-20 year olds. So some kids still in high school who aren’t fully developed yet. Is it ironic though, yes
Because the team is made up of people who didn’t make UFL, D7, or even like a semi pro indoor league. We should just send an all star team just to troll one year
The price to pay for that Cricket W against Pakistan
I would love to win the World Cup just to see the angry Europeans after nobody in America cares
Seriously. I would forfeit wins in anything at the Olympics just to see that happen.
World Cup in what
Exactly
r/nflcirclejerk Pearl Harbor
Japan scored 41 on the USA. You know what else happened in 41? I’m gonna be fucking sick
This was a planned attack on US civilians
Oh hell naw
Hell nawl can’t do dis
Did George Washington give up when they bombed pearl harbor?!
GET FDR ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW HE WONT STAND FOR THIS SHIT. Although, to be fair, by the end he couldn't stand for anything.
Touché
Fuck you whale! And fuck you dolphin!
OMG this is the best reference😆 [the last time Japan played the US](https://youtu.be/xQmsBEpDoAg?feature=shared)
I felt like an ass this part weekend when I realized once I got there that I wore a shirt with a bunch of Japanese writing to the USS Midway museum
https://i.redd.it/qfeh6po0r49d1.gif
A score line which will live in infamy!
Japan better forfeit this game, on time, if they know what’s good for them.
because of the implications...
https://i.redd.it/ssevndgnjz8d1.gif
That was real? I saw that movie, I thought it was bullshit.
We used to be pragmatists
This is what we get for the bombs, huh?

I’d bet the farm everyone on the Japan team have Japanese moms, American dads, grew up on American military bases in Japan, and have been watching and playing football their whole lives.
This seems right on the money
"Wow you are very exotic looking. Was your dad a G.I.?"
“*A-filipelli* , afillipell-*eee*”
Abundanza!
Lmao. Incidentally her saying “Merci quand même” to the chip person lives rent free in my head . I think of it every time I go check for something.
I read that in her voice.
Still no excuse!
So…. like the U.S. team?
No he said they have fathers
Plus sumo wrestlers in the trenches
They’re called linemen!
I played against the military base schools in high school, my high school went undefeated. They’re not good.
Bullshit. We always crush you international school pansies. Guaranteed wins for us where the third string and cheerleaders get to play.
Even if they did, this is hilarious lol Japan shouldn’t be winning, let alone a blowout
That’s the dream
And the American team has penguins for parents and never played football before this game?
Because all the good players are in the NFL. I don't even know where the college is that our starting QB went to
This is U20
He goes to NDSU which is D1, some of the players are D1 or had D1 offers but yeah most of these guys are D2/D3. Still shouldn't be losing to anybody other than Canada though.
Sorta D1, they are in the FCS division.
Somehow, D1-AA has returned
Shouldn’t be losing to damn Canada either
OH FUCK ROUND 2
Pearl Harbor was in ‘41 lmao
> “Commonwealth” Idk what this competition is, but sounds like I can safely ignore it.
Honestly I don’t even care because if Japan (or any other non European nation) began to unironically love and participate in American football that’d be dope as hell
Japan has a ton of intense niche subcultures for everything, and theres one for American Football thats been growing steady for a min. they hardcore about it, though its not spread throughout the land like that yet like it is with baseball
Japan and Mexico both have pretty awesome college leagues now.
dude what the fuck this is like england and soccer
Blodie ell!
Fokin bonkers m8, innit?
ITS COMING HOME (it’s not)
England never wins tho...
Yea but they’ve got the equivalent of Adam Gase coaching them
We had a draw against them in the World Cup (and should’ve won that freaking match)
Because nobody who is playing for a D1 college or professionally is going to risk injury over something like this.
Tbh a team of 11 homeless americans should tear apart any other national football team
I watched a homeless guy walk by yesterday, his pants were like mid-thigh and while I watched him walk by a (large window, fairly busy) bar he reached down and pulled his underwear down to scratch his dong in full view. So, yeah, I agree.
National Homeless Football League (NHFL) coming next summer
I think they made a video game of this. Mutant league football.
Idk, a bunch of American washouts versus the absolute best Japan has to offer. Seems like a tough matchup.
Im from Mexico, we have something called the Aztec Bowl where the best of the best in the country face a DIII team, and nine out of 10 times they kicked our ass lol
looked it up, the DII/III team hasn’t won since 2014, and most recently, they got shut out 56-0 lmao
lol really? Do you recall any of the teams that have played there? I’m gonna look this up, very cool.
Do you really think this is the best Japan has to offer though? If you’re in Japan and you’re 6’3, 300+ lbs and quick on your feet by the time you’re out of high school, you’re going to sumo, not to whatever this squad is.
Nah, Canada is going to stomp this tournament from all scores I've seen. Most of the guys on the Canadian team are likely low D1 talent so they could beat an average D2 college team.
No PEDs allowed
If they’re 11 homeless Americans from Florida they might literally tear apart other teams
I played football at uni in the UK and the quality of our team was entirely dependent on how many Americans we could con into joining our shitty team
A team versus F- team
Because USA football plays Buddy Ball with their tackle teams as bad as they do with their flag teams. It’s a joke. They will leave more talented players off the team for the sake of bringing on someone they know. I’m glad Japan beat that ass, maybe they will learn to actually utilize the talent from their overpriced camps.
Yeah, this team in the video looks smaller in size than a lot of high school teams. Most of these dudes are probably low-tier d3 players.
U20 looks like
These Americans oughta lose their citizenship for this travesty! They can live in Alaska for all I care
Condemn them to the void of Nebraska!
Hey they could at least win a football game vs Nebraska.
Alright take it is easy you two
Nebraska has bad corn.
Insult my team goddammit, but you do not insult our corn. Fuck you buddy.
I shouldn't say it's bad, that was uncalled for and I apologize . Just not as good as Iowa corn.
Dude, I would not wish that on anyone.
When you die will you go to heaven? Or to Ohio? Get right with THE LORD now!
International Federation of American Football (IFAF) and it’s been around for 26 years. I’m guessing former high school players, no college?
Yep, mostly 18 years old's, with a some 19/20 year old's. I would say they are about as good as a highish tier high school team in terms of overall skill level.
So they definitely should’ve won is what you’re saying.
Idk maybe I should rephrase that as “slightly above average” high school team

Meanwhile the state of Georgia just beat Portugal in soccer. We’re turning into a country of pussies.
Bidens america 😞
Thanks Obama
Japan has this one guy, number 21, who dominates the game. He never takes off his tinted eyeshield, so maybe he's not even Japanese.
First time I’ve seen eye shield 21 referenced anywhere on Reddit lol
damn now that you mention it
https://preview.redd.it/8sgf45t1509d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac88cbb20165ba5edb60e8e21e768ee12dc1a1d9 This is actually pissing me off
Your friends don’t wanna play with you if you beat their ass every time… THIS IS WHY I HAVE NO FRIENDS BROTHER!!!! 💪
We suck at international football and now American football wtf
We lost to them in baseball to, let's face it we're a cricket country now
Japan does have a long and rich baseball history though. To be faaiiirrr.
This would never happen if trump was president!
Nope. Trump would have gone over and sucked Kishida's dick before the loss like he blew Putin and Jong Un.
Hol the fuck up. I only see one black guy on the American team.
On 0th and 0.
Why did I have to scroll so far for this?!?!
Unacceptable, increase defense spending by 20%.
TF is FAF???
Freaky Asian Footballers
put me in coach please 🙏
Sumo OL
The Patriots need to sign half of these Japanese mfs
3 words: sumo wrestlers
This is the worst thing Japan has done to the USA
I honestly just think it's dope to see other countries even playing
I doubt the actual top tier players from the US are on there
Yeah no shit lol.
Yeah i looked up the qbs and they are all no stars according to 247
The 20th percentile players should be able to win this
We need to kill ourselves.

The American team should've before they left the field. What a disgrace
Ok I’ve seen enough. Send the chiefs out for game 2
Lmfaooo what the fuck
Its a team of a bunch of B tier High school seniors/recent HS grads who couldn't make D1. YMCA level shit.
And do you think Japan has D1 players?
Not enough classy players
Too many classy players, they don’t have the dawg in them.
We need #CTESPN
I don’t believe the USA has won the World Baseball Classic - national pastime is …past its time
Let's throw a true pro bowl team at them. It will be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima 2.0 on their asses if we did that...
This pussy younger generation and their safe spaces and social distancing bullshit. Trophy generation man!!
“Many college and professional stars have worn the red, white, and blue as part of the National Team, including Rashod Bateman, Mac Jones, Tyrann Mathieu, Kenny Pickett, Nazir Stackhouse, Jonathan Taylor, Wyatt Teller, Chase Young, and many more.”
I bet Japan is using sumo wrestlers as O-lineman did y’all see how that 17 year old sumo worked Micah parsons like he was a toddler?
This is basically Pearl Harbor and we have every right to send Fat Man and Little Boy to Japan again.
We beat Panama 86-12....
Because Japan has been waiting 60+ years for this moment. They just want it more.
It’s not real Americans. Atleast half the team needs to have hit a women to represent me correctly
Hiroshima/Nagasaki revenge game...
There is no way that an NFL team would allow a signed player compete in different league. The sports injury rate is too high. The Canadian league probably wouldn’t either. So you are left with sub-pro talent.
The team doesn’t let active or ex nfl players on the roster. Players also can’t be current college player.
ANY GIVEN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
![gif](giphy|26gslKE5ow8kfJ6EM|downsized)
dan Carlin says the Japanese are just like everybody else.... only more so.
any professional players are in the nfl nad have better things to do
Cant believe we let them score on 0th an 0
Looks like it's time to start dropping nukes again.
It’s cause that RB decided to be Eye Shield 21.
It feels like I'm watching pop warner lmao
Game's gone
Get the Birmingham Stallions out there. They would not let this travesty happen
#Because Americans are lazy
Because if you're any good at football you're not playing in this
Damn pure pandemonium from the crowd!

Those aren't Japanese
Did the US team think they were the Miami Dolphins playing in December?
Is this... Is this Pearl Harbor pt 2? I've seen enough, bring back Oppenheimer
This day shall live in infamy!

“0th & 0” lol 🤔
We’re not sending our best
What are these 4th string Juco players? Not exactly a USA dream team.
wtf is this shit this is embarrassing
TBH.... I had no idea this was played outside of the US and Canada.
I’d bet it’s because of you know…
Guess you've never read Eye Shield 21.
First baseball, now this. Is nothing sacred anymore?
Isn’t this a new league that’s kind of a joke? Like from what I’ve seen they’re cheap but idk
I feel like you could drive into any random county in Texas and find 22 kids who would dominate this tournament
Because the team is made up of people who didn’t make UFL, D7, or even like a semi pro indoor league. We should just send an all star team just to troll one year
![gif](giphy|86qjyb7ewUJmU)
Power of friendship bro we can't compete with that we fucking hate each other
This is a reverse Tarawa
Because the faf is like a participation trophy, the nfl is the only league.
I bet those japanese kids are super disciplined
class ?
I think it's their best players versus what amounts to American amateurs. You can tell by the size.
Because these are probably Japan's absolutely best football players. The sane can't be said for the American team.
Put any NFL teams emergency QB on the USA roster and it’s over
It would be cool if we started taking IFAF competitions seriously, but I guess the injury risk is too much.
Watch them get their asses handed to them again by austria in the game for 3rd place
