in Germany it's getting more and more popular but mostly the American games. I know the most QB from American teams but none of the German teams, not even from Germany.
The more players we get into college, the more we get to NFL, the more popular the game becomes. It is still a small sport, but getting bigger every year.
I started playing in 1988 Played college ball with Chad Johnson aka Ocho-Zinco and Steve Smith Sr in the late 90s! And some Swedish National Games! 6’7 - 250lbs TE who grew up playing Soccer, Tennis, Basketball etc Footwork is key Sweden, Germany and many Other European countries has had millions of supporters for decades! Huge sponsoring in the 90s from the U.S. helped a lot! The level of play has been stagnant for years though!
My Crimson Tide signed a kid outta Germany in the previous class, 6’3 230lbs Justin Okoronkwo. (#1 ‘24 overall recruit outta Europe) Was only on campus a few months before getting double digit tackles in the spring game. He had 5 tackles against Mizzou as well. Kid is gonna be a monster.
As Canadian that grew up playing football, it brings a smile to my face to see the game growing internationally. As for the big man touchdown, we call them "thick six".
@@Ned-RyersonAs long as the lineman isn't more than 2 yards (i think) from the line of scrimmage when the ball is thrown he can go and get the lateral. Otherwise he would have to report as an eligible receiver before the snap.
RIGHT..... it is so refreshing to watch these guys play. They come from a novist, independent, young mind perspective. Like watching women's college Bb. Much less Attitude.
You only need to give them a call and you get a jersey because it’s that small of an association. I had a few friends who were slim and unathletic playing for a few weeks and suddenly they were playing for the national team
So what do y'all call this game over there, because in the US, we call it football, but I'm pretty sure that name is already taken, in every other country?..
Also, I just wakt to add that the level of play is actually quite high... much better then I expected to see from countries without a tradition with the game. Very well done!!!
Particularly considering that all of these guys have to just be playing as a hobby and likely started in their later teens at the earliest. Since there's little to no youth programs, school programs, etc
Im a Texan. Im Black, German and French Norman. AND IM IN LOVE WITH SEEING THESE COUNTRIES PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL. I wish nothing but the best for these guys. Also, they look pretty good out there
I played military football with Sembach AB Tigers 1982-1983 in the Continential Sports Conference. Loved it. There were German/American teams that had a league back then. This is awesome!
Yeah, I remember the league as I read the Stars & Stripes as a kid over there. Bitburg Barons, Rheinmein Rockets, Ramsteine Rams, Spangdalem Chics etc.
👍🏻 I played for the Berlin Adler German American Football team from 84-88. We won the national championship in 1987 and played in the Euro Championship the following year. Good times 🏈
I was in Germany from 1981-1993. I remember the USAF teams back then. My last assignment was in Schweinfurt. One of the guys from my office played on the Schweinfurt Ball Bearings.
Awesome. I send much support. I am an avid European fan of NFL, but this fills me with enthusiasm. It looks good and it's great basis to grow further and further. The players look also good, which I deem as the biggest bottleneck - NFL players is simply the most pristine out of pristine athletes. But the players here look great, move great.
I love this game I use to play now I'm. In my early sixes it just puts a smile on my face I hope that the players in Europe enjoy the game as much as I do
Unlike how Europeans put the US down for still getting the hang of European football, we are excited to see Europe grow in American football. Its not just for us. Would be great to fly to Munich to watch the Seahawks play a German NFL team. Cant wait for that day.
Great way to expand the popularity of football, which is such a great sport. The more sports the better! Note to Sweden: kicks are very important in football!
TOUCHDOWN DE Deutschland! ❤❤. There are Very few people in the stands 😢. Here is hoping these fine athletes playing this awesome sport get more fans in the future.
American here. This is great. Just smiling. The German team seems to have overall concept of the game down pat. They look no different from an American or Canadian squad.
This is awesome. In terms of the game, was also painful to watch, and I say this as a German, for the sake of the Swedes. Am I watching Brazil Germany 2014 World Cup? Feels like it LoL. Or am I watching a really cool and actually high quality international American football game of the future?
thank you for sharing this! as an american, tthe announcers are easy to understand -- are you speaking a creole of german and english? or just using a lot of borrowed words?
The players are much smaller than the NFL players but their tackling is far better. The QBs both have credible arms. It also appears to be a much cleaner game.
Das ist mir auch sofort aufgefallen, als Amerikaner der in DE wohnt. "Kommt in die Nähe eines neues First Downs." So funktioniert Genitiv auf Englisch 😂
As an American, seeing this fills me with joy. I really hope that this sport gets more popularity in Europe
in Germany it's getting more and more popular but mostly the American games. I know the most QB from American teams but none of the German teams, not even from Germany.
Hopefully not. Football will always be the number one over here.😉
Check out the European League of Football when you get a chance. The 2025 season is going to be the biggest yet!
The more players we get into college, the more we get to NFL, the more popular the game becomes. It is still a small sport, but getting bigger every year.

This is so awesome! Go Europe, love from USA!
hell yes! as a German-Swedish American whos life is football. I must say this is the coolest thing I have ever seen. :-)
This is the coolest thing you’ve ever seen?
Well if you've actually seen it, you were the only one. Looks like 0 people in the stands. I've never seen such an empty stadium.
First time watching an european football game. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome Michael
you need to look at the european league of football
My Crimson Tide signed a kid outta Germany in the previous class, 6’3 230lbs Justin Okoronkwo. (#1 ‘24 overall recruit outta Europe) Was only on campus a few months before getting double digit tackles in the spring game. He had 5 tackles against Mizzou as well. Kid is gonna be a monster.
NOW THIS IS FOOTBALL! Feels and looks very authentic! I also appreciate their cleaner tackling forms.
JUCO tier ball.
Smiling ear to ear watching this as an American. Hearing them use yards instead of meters is so interesting. It makes me proud of American culture.
Well, to be fair- 3.5 great countries use the Imperial system - The US - Myanmar, and Liberia (and kind of England sometimes)
Meanwhile we say “soccer” and they lose their minds 😂
@superslayerguy And soccer isn't even our term. It came from England, soccer was short for 'The Association.'
Seeing internation American Football is Amazing! Thanks!
You’re welcome
Wow, just wow, this is utterly amazing as an American. I would go to a game! Those German uniforms look awesome btw!
@@chikmnunget come visit the ELF for our new 2025 season!
@ I would love to! I never imagined taking a trip outside the USA and watching American football there😂 what a time to be alive.
there is a "professional" league in Poland for many many years.. However by "professional" it is more similar to high school football.
This is awesome. Glad to see the sport growing. Very cool.
As an American, this is so cool to see.
As Canadian that grew up playing football, it brings a smile to my face to see the game growing internationally. As for the big man touchdown, we call them "thick six".
I am 100% stealing that. Thank you.
@HayTatsuko you're welcome ;)
Yep, that’s a winner. Thank you Canada!
A "Hook & Ladder" play with the eligible OL for the TD was absolutely wild lol
Do you even have to be eligible if you do not receive the forward pass?
@@Ned-Ryerson yea you can get ineligible receiver downfield penalty
@@sneaky5868 Not if the ball's already been thrown. Once the ball is throne, the O-lineman can go up field.
@@Ned-RyersonAs long as the lineman isn't more than 2 yards (i think) from the line of scrimmage when the ball is thrown he can go and get the lateral. Otherwise he would have to report as an eligible receiver before the snap.

As a Swede I had no idea that we even had a national team. Cool to see but we don’t look very good 😂
Sverige har helt andra förutsättningar! Kanske inte en toppenmatch från sveriges sida heller
You only need to give them a call and you get a jersey because it’s that small of an association. I had a few friends who were slim and unathletic playing for a few weeks and suddenly they were playing for the national team
So what do y'all call this game over there, because in the US, we call it football, but I'm pretty sure that name is already taken, in every other country?..
@@Stiffler206SiP In Sweden we call it Amerikansk Fotboll (American football). Fotboll (football) is your soccer which is the most popular sport here.
Give it time. They will come around.
Love the celebration on Germany's 3rd touchdown!
this is dope. we need more games
Today I learned that Europe plays American football. This is honestly amazing!
Fucking awesome!!!! 💪 🍻
Germany's defense is really good. Their players are clearly reading the plays and knowing exactly where the ball is going to be going and when
Also, I just wakt to add that the level of play is actually quite high... much better then I expected to see from countries without a tradition with the game. Very well done!!!
Particularly considering that all of these guys have to just be playing as a hobby and likely started in their later teens at the earliest. Since there's little to no youth programs, school programs, etc
I LOVE THIS! Greetings from the USA. How many countries have a team? You can really feel the team spirit just like in college football.
This is sweet, love seeing the sport grow!
Im a Texan. Im Black, German and French Norman. AND IM IN LOVE WITH SEEING THESE COUNTRIES PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL. I wish nothing but the best for these guys. Also, they look pretty good out there
Homefield advantage is insane in europe
I love seeing this! They even have cheerleaders too. How cool! :)

When I was an airman in USAFE I enjoyed watching our games at Hahn AB Germany (1990-91) and Bitburg AB Germany (1992-93).
I was in Germany from 1981-1993. I remember the USAF teams back then. My last assignment was in Schweinfurt. One of the guys from my office played on the Schweinfurt Ball Bearings.

Pas mal cette équipe d'Allemagne ! Bon Quaterback et superbe équipe spéciale. Merci pour le visionnage
Germany reminds me of the 1985 Chicago Bears..very dominant team performance ! 🇩🇪💪🏻
As an American football fan who doesn't speak a word of German, I love that I can still understand about 30% of what they are saying
German word x2 x3 "fumble"
Its funny because I can understand like half of what's being said without knowing any German. Love to see this!
Like when the Swedish punt was "geblocked"?
Same!
I hope the sport keeps growing in Germany and Europe, maybe one day we'll have a EU Division in the NFL :D
I shed a tear watching this 🥲
Because this is a bit like the way Football used to be...... less "Me, Me, Me" attitude, less $$$$ and more ❤️.
I love this game I use to play now I'm. In my early sixes it just puts a smile on my face I hope that the players in Europe enjoy the game as much as I do

I didn't know they played Football in Europe. This is cool. 😄
I wish there were more fans in the stands
Great job by both teams, considering they're just geting the hang of it !
It's a good thing Swedes are good at Hockey!
As much as Europeans love turn based strategy games, I am surprised that American football isn't more popular.
This is so cool! Having lived in Germany, it's awesome to see them play football!
this is awesome, they played well! that dime QB threw @6:40 wow!
Excellent. Fun to watch. Keep up the good work over there!!
They’re learning!
I bet they serve great beer and food at the concession.
9:44 ist so toll!
Great way to expand the popularity of football, which is such a great sport. The more sports the better! Note to Sweden: kicks are very important in football!
Great video
Well holy sheet I enjoyed watching this a lot!
I did not know this existed and im so glad i found it. Id really like to find a team now haha.
This is cool!! We love this sport!!
I like that 5th touchdown: the designed overlap and lateral to the tackle!
love it!
This is dope 👍
I went to a Swedish football practice, this was great.
Special teams.2 blocked punts in 1st half. What a blow out.
Some of these linemen have da biggest builds I’ve ever seen; The girth is making me cry with laughter😂
2:01 what a smart run by the running back
We can definitely find some linemen here. Nice job athletes!
Good on Sweden for not giving up!😊
AHHHS SCHWEINNN TIENNNNN tackle for loss ENCOOOOOZENFIIIIIIIGEN
Schnap ees gut! I love it!
TOUCHDOWN DE Deutschland! ❤❤. There are
Very few people in the stands 😢. Here is hoping these fine athletes playing this awesome sport get more fans in the future.
American here. This is great. Just smiling. The German team seems to have overall concept of the game down pat. They look no different from an American or Canadian squad.
Seeing the German symbol on a football helmet is wild. Would love to go to one of these games. That’s a big Swedish boy in there 😂
This was fun to listen to--a string of German followed by old familiar football lingo. Our next visit, we're going to one of these games.
This is awesome. In terms of the game, was also painful to watch, and I say this as a German, for the sake of the Swedes. Am I watching Brazil Germany 2014 World Cup? Feels like it LoL. Or am I watching a really cool and actually high quality international American football game of the future?
Germany vs UFL
Keep up the effort Sweden, you’ll figure it out!
This is great keep it up fellas 👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool. When in Europe, support the sport. They are just getting started in Europe.
My first game watching European football.
Where can we go in person to watch these games
That German offense is very potent, defense is very good and the special team is special, this team can beat a lot of colleges in the US.
9:43 PLAYING WITH THEIR FOOD, great clip
As an American living in Sweden, I wanna be proud, but I just can't get over the announcer LOL this game reminds me of a JCO game
THEY PLAY FOOTBALL OVERSEAS?? YOOOOOO this is amazing news
Approved!
Oh, I just found my new fave form of entertainment.
I never new ,good luck
🏈 yes !
thank you for sharing this! as an american, tthe announcers are easy to understand -- are you speaking a creole of german and english? or just using a lot of borrowed words?
I don't like going to football games in America. This seems like a much fun atmosphere. I would go to these games.
I didn’t know this existed!!!! As a die hard Football 🏈 fan , this bring joy to me 💯😇 btw DA BEARS 🐻
It's wild hearing a football announcer do the play by play in German lol
I think team Germany is strongest one in Europe？they are so well trained
Take a look at Austria games and tell me who you think is stronger! They are veeery good.
I would say Austria but I think they will both most likely play in the championship game
Germany and Austria are top nations in Europe, followed by Finland, GB, France, Sweden and Italy.
Love the helmets
The players are much smaller than the NFL players but their tackling is far better. The QBs both have credible arms. It also appears to be a much cleaner game.
Wenn man sich nicht entscheiden kann, ob man auf Deutsch oder Englisch kommentieren will :D
Das ist mir auch sofort aufgefallen, als Amerikaner der in DE wohnt. "Kommt in die Nähe eines neues First Downs." So funktioniert Genitiv auf Englisch 😂
All die Jahre, die ich Deutsch gelernt habe, waren umsonst.🤷
Also are yall editing in crowd noise?
@@camo5023 no its the Stadium crowd
Welcome to European crowds mate, Ultras everywhere
@@FABRHighlights where can we buy tickets to these games cause the website doesn't show me anything
Lol I doubt it Euro fans are crazy and I think maybe Germany had the home crowd
What crowd?
This is amazing. I had no idea lol 🇺🇲
The dream would be to see international play take off.
I love how the football terminology is English while the broadcast is in German or is it Swedish?
First half underscores importance of special teams!
France is gonna import players 😂
I had no idea Germany and Sweden played American football! Wow!😊
As an American, I dream of the day when we win the World Cup and a European team wins the Super Bowl.
It’s fun listening to how many terms don’t translate into German…
Sweden’s special team coach got a Game of Thrones style death after this game
Snapper and holder for Sweden were not on the same page the entire game.
