USA scores on opening kickoff and beats Korea 77-0.

Could Cougarguard all-stars beat Korea in football?

this is why football's future is limited. It will never be an international sport.

Is that televised? I'd watch it. I was most surprised to see that Japan has won it twice.

I guess the U.S. didn't play the first two times. Two of BYU's opposing QB's will be playing, Jeff Ballard (TCU) and Adam Austin (Arizona).

Korea was 1 for 17 passing and 22 carries for -47 yards.

My High School plays a Japanese all-star team every year. They alternate the country each year so by the time you graduate, you've been to Japan twice. The kids on their all star team are very good. They make a game of it every year.

Don't forget the Dominicans they are notorious at falsifying the ages of players. My favorite is the A's pitcher Jairo Garcia who showed up to spring training once year and they found out his name was really Santiago Casilla and he was about 3 years older than he claimed.

Well, we can't leave out New Yorkers either. Danny Almonte was the only kid on that NY little league team who had a wife and kids.

Then again, he was born in the Dominican Republic, so....

see Alfonso Soriano the 22 year old phenom with the Yankees, who at 26 gets traded to Texas, right before he is to get traded he calls Texas feeling bad and tells them he is 30 and lied about his age.
