Report

Scotland’s Grangemouth Broncos failed to find the form which saw them win the NFL UK Schools Flag Football Championships, when they lost all three matches in the NFL Europe Schools Flag Football Championships in 2002. They narrowly lost the opening game 43-38 to Spain’s Pere Vives Vich, and then lost 38-18 to hosts Dusseldorf Black Hawk and 45-21 to Leonardo Lightning of Netherlands when a win could have seen them through on head-to-head points difference.

Dusseldorf Black Hawk won the NFL Europe Group and met EFAF Group Champions Austria’s Air Force Graz in the Final, with the Austrians coming out on top 42-18. Air Force Graz were convincing winners of the tournament having depatched AS Paris Flag 26-22 in their opening match before getting into their stride with huge 60 plus points wins over Sondervanfskloen of Denmark and Kulosaari Roosters of Finland to rech the Final. The two finalists qualified for the NFL Schools Flag Football World Championships along with third placed Leonardo Lightning who won 46-40 in overtime in the third placed playoff match against AS Paris Flag.

Grangemouth is Scotland’s biggest port, having been founded as the finish point of the Clyde-Forth Canal. Located near Falkirk in East Scotland, it is famous also for the art-statues of the two Kelpies, mythological Horses which can take Human form from Celtic Folklore. The artist who created the two giant artworks at the entrance to thde Helix Park, however, took ins;piration more from the two work horses which drew each canal boat. Scotland was colonised by Gaelic-speakers from Ireland in 500 AD, although Gaelic is now only widely spoken in the Highlands and Western Isles.

About Fan Controlled Football

The League was a novel idea, giving fans the chance to be a part-owner, and coach of a Professional Arena Indoor Football Team. The FCF was 7v7 Arena style Football with no kicking. Teams start at the 10-yard line and drive to the endzone. The extra point is 1v1 between the Wide Receiver and the Defensive Back. All Games are 1 Hour long with a running clock, and the games were streamed live on twitch where the owner/coaches could vote on the plays of their team, whichever play voted highest was the one that was played.

Report

Given the recent round of North American Sports Teams announcing they are changing their nicknames due to offence caused to Native Americans and the power of the “Black Lives Matter” movement, Eirball wonders if these groups will “Take Back” the names and use them as a source of Pride in the their own leagues. Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians and Edmonton Eskimoes recently announced they are dropping their moniker in favour of something more appropriate.

In this scenario by 2050 there will be a World Football League with a return of teams such as the Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, Edmonton Eskimoes (CFL), CDMX Mexicas (Mexico City), Mayas (LFA Mexico), The Hawaiians and Birmingham Americans (WFL 1974-1975), Austin Texans, Memphis Southmen and Birmingham Americans (USFL 1983-1985) as well as Baseball Teams Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves; Ice Hockey Teams Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks, Quebec Nordiques; and Basketball Team Boston Celtics; NCAA team Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

In addition National Football League teams which have never settled anywhere in America or developed a sense of identity shall move around the World: London Ravens, Berlin Colts, Moscow Raiders, Rome Cardinals, Johannesburg Chiefs, Jerusalem Oilers, Tokyo Chargers, Sydney Rams, Delhi Bengals, Rio de Janeiro 49ers, Havana Browns and Toronto Buffaloes (Bills). New teams Kenyan Crimson Tide, Lima Incas and Dublin City storm to be added to bring the League up to 32 teams. These teams will be owned, staffed and played by Native players.

About Russian American Football and the League of American Football

The Federation of American Football of Russia was formed in 1992, just immediately after the the end of the USSR and Communism. After that oneseason, the League took a long break, returning in 2002. In 2016 teams were added in Kazakhstan (Astana Wolves) and Belarus (Minsk Litvins) and became a Russian Open Championship, named the League of American Football. After losing three of its division between 2016 and 2018, and 16 of its initial 26 teams, the top four broke away in 2019 to form the East European Super League (Moscow Spartans, St. Petersburg North Legion, St. Petersburg Griffins and Minsk Litvins).

Report

Donetsk Scythians defeated the Kharkov Atlantes 22-20 in the Ukraine Super Bowl VI after finishing the season with 7 wins and one tie in their eight matches. Khzarkov Atlantes were the only team to take a point off them in the entire season, finishing on 5 wins 2 losses and one tie, with both losses coming against the Scythians. Kharkov Atlantes are named after the Atlantic Ocean, which is in itself named after Atlantis, what some archeologists believe may be the Tin Mining Regions of Ireland and Cornwall, known to the ancient Greeks. It is keeping with other teams in the early years of Ukraine American Football League being named after Ancient Peoples or Cultures, namely the Donetsk Scythians. The name Atlantic Isles is also used instead of the British Isles. [Reference: 2-3].
