They couldn’t have done this in the middle of June when I was starving for football??

This is more exciting than a game involving the Denver Broncos.

I like how the Italian QB is reading the actual playbook while he decides which play to call.

[poindextertunes]

It was cool of the Italian QB to recite some of his poetry before every play 👌🏻

[RM---]

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.

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.

This was an INCREDIBLE game! didn't even know this existed and i enjoyed every second of this game.

Honestly, after watching this, I wouldn’t mind this being a 4-8 team bracket style pro bowl thing.

[JeyFlash]

Even for flag, the field is depressingly small..allows for less mobility, receivers are avoiding each other over running better planned routes.

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.

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!?

Team Italy: Plays methodical, precise football, looks similar to tempo of NFL games.
Team USA: F*ck it, big mans is down there somewhere!

#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.

[thorshuatus]

Awesome game & great sportsmanship between USA & Italy. Can't wait to see more games and this needs to be on TV!

[TheChrisLouis]

How is this real? This is amazing and needs more coverage.

[pandaman]

thank you announcers for explaining the game and rules, was my first time watching. Thanks again, very interesting

[kruletee]

DAMN, they bounced back quick as hell after Italy scored first. That shit was magic.

[growingfromscratch]

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.

[mallurypollard]

When I saw MJD and Michael Robinson, I said “oh…this is serious?” Thought it was a Key and Peele skit 😂

[SenanIsabelle]

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.
