p.s. - yes i know kung fu is korean. karate is japanese, but you get the attempt at humor anyway.
Kung Fu is Chinese. Not Korean.

Interesting, Dan Hawkins is the coach. The roster is mostly mid-major college players with some random power schools represented: http://ifafworldchampionship.org/competition
and taken in the Pro Football Hall of Fame while you're there. Looks like the attendance #'s for a High School game.

Not a shit was given in Japan.
All we're gonna do is send in scrubs to make the game vaguely competitive. Just let the world play amongst themselves. I don't see the point in the US sending a pity team out. If we actually cared, our best team would win every game 200-0
Except the US has lost before. To Japan.
It might have slightly more challenging had it been held in Sweden as originally planned. I still think the US would have dominated, but jet lag and no home audience (in as much as there was any audience) might have slowed them down a bit.Canada is probably the next best team and they dropped out.
Canton Ohio was a last minute replacement (well like six months, but that's pretty last minute for an event of this scale). The teams stayed in dorms at Walsh University, right behind our house.
My wife was running on campus and saw a French? player um..deflating his balls in a first floor dorm room without closing the blinds. I guess you could get lonely being on the road for three weeks.
Soccer was invented in England -- FIFA was invented in France. Basketball was invented in the USA -- FIBA was invented in France. Football was invented in the USA -- IFAF was invented in France. Ice hockey was invented in Canada -- the IIHF is in France.
The ability of the French to appropriate rule making authority for sports they did not even invent is reminiscent of Huxley from "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland."
