#NFL #Football #AmericanFootball
They couldn’t have done this in the middle of June when I was starving for football??
It was actually played early last month. I guess they’re just reposting it.
Lmfaoooo !
Exactly!!
It was like July
💯💯
I like how the Italian QB is reading the actual playbook while he decides which play to call.
his grandmother's recipes are in there too!
This is American sport.

like madden lol
This is more exciting than a game involving the Denver Broncos.
bruh 😭
Lets ride
Russ currently has 8 passing TD's vs 12 bathrooms in his new mansion
Dangerruss comment
Im fucking furious but you arent wrong
I really liked how the USA team came over after the game and checked on the Italian player who suffered the leg injury. That was good sportsmanship.
Great to see tbh
Not it's pussy shit. Don't show any weakness.
@Gavin Shuell sure
@Gavin Shuell Usually people drop it to show exactly where it was pulled.
I likes when they sprayed him with hairspray to fix it
Honestly, after watching this, I wouldn’t mind this being a 4-8 team bracket style pro bowl thing.
this would be an amazing pro bowl event maybe people would actually watch it lol
@@Maul505bro that’s literally the pro bowl this year lol
Team Italy: Plays methodical, precise football, looks similar to tempo of NFL games. Team USA: F*ck it, big mans is down there somewhere!
USA's just fucking around bro, they know there's no chance they lose
backyard football, why wait to score? Hailmary every play.
Homie just shoved the notebook up his booty before he called hike. That quarter back is elite
It was cool of the Italian QB to recite some of his poetry before every play 👌🏻
This was an INCREDIBLE game! didn't even know this existed and i enjoyed every second of this game.
Yo forreal! I'm here for this
same
Lmao get a life
🥱 Beta sports for those not talented enough. 😉
@@stevesleg yet you’re not even talented enough to get into this…🤔
I played college intramurals at the university of Alabama, and we had the exact same rules except we used a standard football field. I think having a big field makes it more fun, because people can really open up on their routes or have space to work with. It was so much fun.
Far too big for the game. You need a smaller field for the competitiveness.
@@why-even-try-brotendo I actually found out our field is only 80 yards instead of 100
@@lukester102d6probably shortened the endzones yeah?
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon1828 Same end zone size but it was actually a shorter field I recently just realized
Idk if it needs to be all that wide but 10 maybe 15 yards wider would be a sweet spot imo
I understand trying to keep it no contact, but without some blocking at the line, it's kind of boring, you score, we score , you score, we score.
I cannot wait to see this make it to the Olympics. Hope the Italian defender who got injured can make a full recovery! Thanks to all involved for putting on such an exceptional performance for our viewing pleasure, and more importantly, thank you for representing your teammates, your countries, and your sport with such amazing character and sportsmanship. Now when is next season!?
Itd be real cool to see regular Football in the Olympics
@@HashCracker They already have regular football...
@@kasiadinero1695 Why are you trying to act like you dont know what im talking about? This video is about a sport derived from football. im talking about football, genius
@@HashCracker nah man he's saying regular football as in soccer, it's listed as football in the olympics
@@HashCracker modern "football" is also derived from football. FOOTBALL MEANS ANY BALL GAME PLAYED ON FOOT, YOU LITERAL TARDCHILD
Even for flag, the field is depressingly small..allows for less mobility, receivers are avoiding each other over running better planned routes.
Agree !!!!!
@@kevinarmstrong386 this is 5 man flag.....basketball on turf. The 8 man game is full field and contact allowed
@@davidanderson1451 Dave I'm not saying I didn't like it......actually kept my attention for 45 minutes. I would like to see the 8 man game you mentioned!!!!
@@kevinarmstrong386 I hated the 5 man game when I played. Always stayed 8 man. 5 man game is zero blocking. That is why I loved the 8 man game, but I embraced the contact. 5 man is small field and lots of flash.
yeah I'd want it several yards wider
I didn’t even know this existed?! 😂
The illegal contact penalties are a little over the top. When two people are running full speed at each other, pretty difficult to avoid hitting each other sometimes. Slight miscalculation from either side will mean they collide. The whole “you should be able to control your body” thing is dumb because it means you expect people to not give 100% effort which means the game will be less competitive/exciting.
As a ref for a Boys and Girls club that adopted the NFL Flag rules a few years back, it's awesome to see the game making it to such a high level. I really hope kids get to see this, it's gotta be a great step in decreasing how many aspiring athletes have terrible injuries before really getting a chance to make their dreams come true.
That will never happen or replace contact football. I’m not saying it never happens but playing football as a kid isn’t really the problem as your not even getting hit hard enough usually to get one let alone multiple concussions that warrant long term problems, wanting to hit someone is why boys play….and you knowingly take the risk if you go pro and are paid extremely well.
@@mypud4068 starting in even high school jv you are def getting hit hard enough to have very serious injuries, enough to end a kid's season.
@@fullmetalfunk Sure but most high school football atlethes are at least in the back of their mind gunning for a college scolarship, so it's not like they're risking injury for nothing, they're doing it for a chance at something better.
@@mypud4068 studies have shown that a lot of young players already are in the early stages of CTE by the time they get to college. It doesnt take huge hits to damage the brain. Lots and lots of small impacts build up over time. The brain is an incredibly vital and delicate organ.
@user-yw3lj7if9u until you get to high school its not an issue, they already know that about 20% of high school football players will get at least one concussion in the 3 or 4 years they play. Again I'm not saying it never happens to younger people but the amount of kids that develop any serious CTE after high school football is low and so if we're talking pee wee and even middle school the percent is even smaller. There are those rare cases where all it takes is 1 concussion to do damage but as someone who played up until I graduated high school there just isn't alot of high impact collisions because unlike college and the NFL the gap between skill, size, speed and strength is quite immense. You generally see huge hits in football when a wide receiver gets blasted by a player in the secondary, if you notice with even running backs a concussion usually not the reason they are injured. I suspect that number will also drop because its actually being taken seriously and if you even show signs of one you won't play until your cleared by a Dr or a protocol which it can't ever be perfect but it can surely be handled much better and cut down on longterm affects by allowing the brain to rest and actually heal before it gets knocked around again. Even when we were kids we would play tackle football in the yard, there is something innately in boys that they want to play things that involve contact with other boys, no way flag football would have been an option. Hell outside of football just the stuff we would do I would say rivaled football in terms of roughness and taking hits to the head.
thank you announcers for explaining the game and rules, was my first time watching. Thanks again, very interesting
Great sportsmanship, highly competitive, and definitely kick starting Italy to get better.
love the sportsmanship in this game
Awesome game & great sportsmanship between USA & Italy. Can't wait to see more games and this needs to be on TV!
kzhead.info/sun/nrSacbuHiWR3laM/bejne.html
Why not just on the internet? What's the point of putting shows on TV these days?
DAMN, they bounced back quick as hell after Italy scored first. That shit was magic.
5:49 Mark Andrewsiomone had me dead lol
wow, glad to see the sport growing. That was really fun to watch, can't wait to see it get bigger and bigger
im in awe with the connections and ball placement with both the quarterbacks. so different but theyre all so beautiful. props to them. love watching this game
I love that this game was very competitive and fun to watch
Congratulations Team USA!!! So fun to watch. I would only suggest that the broadcast show a better zoomed out view of the action. Id like to see how the routes are developing live.
they should do it like madden behind the qb
Totally agree, @les !! Came here to say that. Or move the camera to an angled view. It was difficult to see an actual catch live.
love this pass rushing way more than the counting at the line of scrimmage way.
My boy Jones-Drew, certified gap runner, catch passes n all
Bro was a fantasy machine for a few years back when i was a youngin
Of course I’m happy the US team won but that Italy QB is super exciting to watch!
that first team usa drive with the 2 pt was fire
When I saw MJD and Michael Robinson, I said “oh…this is serious?” Thought it was a Key and Peele skit 😂
That was very entertaining! I’d watch again for sure!
I see why Roger Goodell wants NFL players out here.
Imagine if they got the boys in the NFL to compete, every USA game would be 100+ points 💀
This is great! Had no idea it was going on. A new fan.
Really liked this. Need more.
How is this real? This is amazing and needs more coverage.
I was thinking how is this real because it's embarrassing. Bums that cant catch without sticky gloves. A qb that has the goofiest throwing mechanics ever. Aside from the fact that he sticks his head up the center's butt to get a snap from under center. And fat receivers. This whole video sucks.
You have awful taste
Flag football is all over the United States ..we have nationals in Florida every January...
Are those real Italians actually born in Italy, or are they just Americans with Italian heritage?
@@willpomeroy7711 it was a team out of Italy.
Had absolutely no idea this existed, but cool to see. Also cool to see the rise in women's football. I am so hooked on football as a sport I will consume it in every form. Arena, USFL, flag, etc. keep it coming.
This is so interesting! Loved it
Was it just me or did anyone else know that Flag Football was this big? Seriously, though I like how fast paced the game is and that it is basically and NFL game without the 20 minutes of commercials. I do predict four things will happen number one this will become a olympic sport and almost every country will have a team, number two you will start to see more boys and girls play flag football because parents will see it as the alternative to traditional football, number three your going to see this grow into like stadiums field of people watching this sport, trade deadlines, bigger pay for players, endorsements, etc. number four you will see some kid who will say I started from the flag now we here.
This is evidence human are getting softer, maybe that a good thing.
@@oranebrown2169 or maybe its evidence that humans value an in tact body. Dont get me wrong, traditional football is to die for, but its slowly dying as more people are disliking its high injury statistics
@@oranebrown2169 - A good thing that humans are getting softer? Weird
Throw some periods & capital letters etc etc. Grammar my dude
@@danoneall4013 I was thinking more along the lines of less wars, and more peaceful progression, am a fundamentalist at heart, meaning certain fact are supreme, for eg. For the time being the only practical mean to survive would be to procreate, and all same sex union stands against this fact, which should be considered inhumane.
Holy crap! This is exciting as hell to watch especially how talented Italy looks! This has to be introduced into the Olympics one day if it gets picked up around the world like it is in these World Championships!!!
Not
good news
I didn’t want the full game I WANTED THE CODDAMN HIGHLIGHTS!! Probably too bloody late now!!
I love this. I think they should expand width wise for sure
Clicked this video with curiosity, was left entertained. This looks fun asf.
Italians beat Mexicans in American football?!? As a American I'm disappointed 😆 glad to see football being played by other countries, really cool. Love it
Football is a strong word for this...
@@MrML4L this isnt football. this is flag football. this is some bs.
Football deserves its recognition, As a Filipino-American I'm a bit disappointed that we got basketball from the US instead of this gem.
@@tryintosurvive88 Atleast we got football
They love Football in Italy
this is pretty cool, never knew it was an international sport!
Great sportsmanship throughout
Why am I hearing about this now? This is awesome.
The Italian Aaron Rodgers was dealing!
Italian QB has a really good arm. Can’t be worse than Zach Wilson
This was insanely fun to watch.
Some of the best catches I’ve seeen I was impressed
Genuinely fun to watch. Italy will be my number two team to root for after USA
👍🏻
I’m literally enjoying this
Pretty cool, could definitely see more of this
How did I not know this existed til today? This has been amazing.
imagine aj brown, ceedee lamb, tyreek hill, and jalen hurts on offense 💀
You had my attention all the way until you said Jalen Hurts
@@rickanduiza186 well Jalen is definitely better at running which is seems to be more important in flag. At the end of the day though any NFL guys are cooking
#14 Killed in this game. ► crucial 4th down conversion ► TD passes ► TD runs ► even broke a man's ankle (literally) Italy couldn't even slow him down. USA coach should've found a taller pass-rusher. The one that they were using wasn't affecting the Italian QB's passing angles/windows.
Love hearing the MA guys out there for Italy. QB played at Bentley and big WR played at Dartmouth. Always great seeing that Mass rep
This is very interesting I can’t watch a whole season of this definitely neeeed, to keep this
This is sweet! That catch for extra points after the first USA touchdown was NFL-quality. Would love to see some more running plays, laterals, etc.
There's a reason there isn't the plays you want to see.
Italy has some great American players.
I was a beast at two hand touch football 😂 this is perfect for those with zero muscle but love the sport
First time viewer. Loved every minute of it! Loved the sportsmanship!
20 possessions 20 TDs, this is what the NFL wants
With the current state of the league it's not too far off. It's why it's not fair to compare the stats of say Patrick Mahomes to like a John Elway. The NFL is basically gifting modern offenses yards nearly every drive. You can't even think about breathing on receivers or QB's anymore. As a fan of defense (The Legion of Boom is my favorite team ever) it's a shame to see.
@@Later_Nerd scoring is down this year
This definitely aged well, they banned hip drop tackles
As a Colts fan and Madden 10 player shout-out to Maurice Jones-Drew. Always wondered what happened to that guy.
Never knew flag football got this serious this is very entertaining to watch
The QB holding that book in front of him like a sorcerer 'bout cast some serious lightning magic.
The closest we ever going to get to winning a World Cup in "Foot"ball
USA should recruit their top high school skill players to compete here. They would dominate plus great international exposure for future stars.
High school lol? these guys look like late 20s lol
@@iplayoldschoolrunescape 😂
@@iplayoldschoolrunescape what does that have to do with anything. Incase you didn’t notice this is non contact football.
@@iplayoldschoolrunescape you used to be scared to scrimmage the varsity team didn’t you 💀
Actually if there are any teams from the pacific in here. They are going to dominate you all 😂😂😂😂😂
All these NFL comparisons got me crackin’ up mad… deadass 😂
That was suprisingly fun to watch.
The future of NFL football: the National Flag Football League!
it will avoid many uncessary brain damages.
@@jmgonzales7701 injuries are part of the game dont like dont play it...
@@glenjoke10 Brain damages arent simple injuries lol. If we do not address that football is more prone to brain damage you might loose a lot of potential players for the future.
@@jmgonzales7701 its football ....what do you think happens when grown men collide with each other. We don't tell electricians to stop being electricians because they might get electrocuted...
@@glenjoke10 bad logic, at the end of the day these are people, it wouldn't hurt for a little bit of safety and acknowledgment for their health.
There are similar rules for the youth British American football that I played in England. We had good success with the same type of makeshift wildcat QB play seen here.
right
@@lemikehendrix357 kzhead.info/sun/nrSacbuHiWR3laM/bejne.html
That catch @11:22 remind me of the San tonio Holmes catch from Big Ben in the Super Bowl Vs the cardinals 😤
This was awesome!
51:21 did bro in the back just do a flip with no hands
WHAT A THROW at 29:50! Give that man a contract
Was all about the catch
He sucks
Was it the throw or the catch? If both, which mattered more?
@@danbest2418 c'mon man...
Rodgers like
crazy catch at 10:58, love to see tyler lockett get a shoutout
Running the no huddle with the book😂😂😂
That's gotta be the goofiest throwing motion i've ever seen LMAO
Can't wait till we get to the day where other countries have just as good if not better football players. There is so much talent out in the world
No, they are not better. They are worse. They don't even know how to read.
I did not know this was a thing until this came up in my feed.
I'm Italian in Italy and this is the first time I see this sport in my life
Hope they put this in the Olympics eventually. I'd watch this religiously.
kzhead.info/sun/nrSacbuHiWR3laM/bejne.html
How does this not leak into the NFL? So many of these strategies would give a guy like McVay insane ideas lol
Nothing about this game would translate to the NFL.
It is. NFL has announced that the future pro bowl games will be a flag football/skills competition. Which will not be that much different from the past pro bowls.
Great to see flag football growing.
"He's gonna read his notebook" LOL
Five minutes ago I firmly believed flag football was only played by youth. Obviously I was wrong
kzhead.info/sun/nrSacbuHiWR3laM/bejne.html
USA QB reminds me abit of the guy that : "shouldn't have had all that popcorn!" in (Adam sandler's) the longest yard😂

4:36 When you are too good to open your own drink🤣🤣🤣
This was actually really entertaining
"world class athletes" 😂
I was playing at this level in 6th grade... could have gone pro but wanted to focus on my family.
this mad chill lol i like it
Now we need a heavy flag football with adjusted hand contact rules; 3 linemen and 2 rbs/linebackers. I know it'd probably be a slower game but it'd be awesome to watch the bigs battle too.
At my college we play flag football with a full contact line. 7v7 with three o line and two defenders are allowed to rush at a time. Unless the ball is handed off, then anyone on the defense can rush.
tua needs to get on this
Bro they need this in the Olympics. USA finally gonna win something
What the hell are you talking about? The USA dominates in the Olympics winter or summer.. if USA doesn’t win the Olympics they are usually in second or third as far as golds.. not sure what you’re talking bout 🤷♂️
@B Morg They’re really well rounded but this would just be unfair for other countries lol
you can't substitute that so called blk footspeed...It's just amazing...
This is what the nfl will be in a couple of years. National flag football league
