Football is such a great sport that other countries all over the world are slowly starting to start leagues. This video interested me because I really enjoy football and it’s cool to see people in other places playing and enjoying this great sport! It’s hard to think about how most of these guys were just couch potatoes and learned about the American sport and grew to enjoy watching it and decide to start playing. I think it would be hard to start out of nowhere, without any formal training. I started playing football in fourth grade, but my dad had worked with me on throwing and catching and things like that before I played. These guys all of the sudden step on the field and start playing semi-pro football games. Seems pretty crazy, but mostly all the men that play have no football background. So they are on a pretty even playing field. Many of them played soccer or basketball as kids. In the future I'm sure they will start youth leagues and slowly but surely the American based sport will spread like wildfire through Israel and surrounding countries. Maybe someday football will be the new soccer. Football world cup? Just a thought.
