    Less than 5 minutes left, it looks like USA will win and advance to play in the Championship game on Saturday.

    U.S team certainly doesn't look like a juggernaut, lots of non Division I college players, if Canada has a few CFL vets it might be a good game, the level of play doesn't look to be even CFL. (Mexico's center, in particular couldn't handle shotgun snaps).

    It's over. Final score: USA 17, Mexico 7. Very competitive until the last few minutes of the game.

    Would the Benny Hill theme song (Yakkity Sax) be more appropriate?

    Japan defeated Mexico 17-14 to win the Bronze Medal. Tomorrow will be USA vs. Canada for the Gold Medal. I will try and find any links for this game.
    Here are highlights of how both the USA and Canada advance to the final.

    I'm surprised Australia is so bad. You figure they would have some big fast rugby players who can play some D and also some Aussie Football players who can kick long field goals or have punts that pin the other team team back.

    USA wins and beat Canada 50-7. The game was under American football rules so Canada gets a free pass. If it was Canadian football rules then this game would be a lot closer and more competitive.

    Considering how many there are couldn't you spare a few to help out your Gridiron team?
