I didn't even know Japan had American football but I found their recent championship game on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivRT4qohnpo

Idk who wins yet, I'm only in the beginning of the 2nd qtr but I'll watch most any football, even if the announcers are speaking Japanese and there are no subtitles.

Denmark has Mermaid Bowl, I think it's called.

Don't know if the games are worth watching or even possible to watch.

Afaik the two best teams are Triangle Razorbacks and Søllerød Gold-diggers.

There are some Americans on both teams and so far, the talent seems to be on par with mid major college teams here in the states.

The language barrier sucks when controversy happens. There was a fumble that looked like it should have been ruled down by contact and I couldn't understand what they were saying. The red team got screwed, I was rooting for them anyway so now I'm really rooting for them.

The red team had a 4th and 6 from about the opponent 40 early in the 1st qtr, and they went for it. Not just went for the first down but they went for it all. They got a long TD pass, awesome play call and that's why I'm rooting for them. They are up 14-10 right now.

They are interviewing someone and amongst the corporate logos in the background, it said Japan Bowl XXXIII.

In the 3rd qtr the red team QB is doing a pretty good Jameis Winston/Andy Dalton impression. He threw a Pick 6 and been sacked a few times. The red OL is struggling to block the white team's DL.

looks like you have to either click on the 3 dots on the right side Before the word SAVE then you have to open the transcript which i guess is the subtitles for that video or you have to add translations which you need a google account to do.

if neither works for the subtitles then disregard my message

Thanks, I did it through the CC button. The subtitles were in Japanese at first, then I clicked auto translate. Learn something new every day.
