Welcome to World Footy News Thursday, December 26 2024 @ 09:53 pm ACDT
On this week's show we have special guest Bruce Parker join us to discuss the AFL Ontario Grand Final and footy in Ontario post Covid-19. As usual we go through footy scores posted from across the globe including USAFL, AFL Canada, AFL Denmark, AFL Sweden, AFL Croatia, AFL South Africa, AFLNZ, AFL China and AFL PNG.
49th Parallel Cup 2022
International Footy made another post Covid recovery leap with Canada hosting the United States inToronto for the 2022 edition of the 49th Parallel Cup on 13th August. This follows a two year hiatus of the Cup due to the covid pandemic. The EURO CUP 9's tournament in Scotland back on 18th July was the first tentative steps back in International footy so it is great to see a Full side comeback at last.
Despite almost two years of footy lost the USAFL showed Aussie rules is alive and well in the USA. Even without their Canadian neighbours to the north this year due to border restrictions Day 1 showed that despite shutdown the momentum of the game rolls on.
The Austin Crows remain in the box seat after Day 1 of the 2021 USAFL Nationals and didnt miss a beat defeating New York in the morning and Los Angeles at the end of the day to top their Pool at 2-0. In Pool B the Golden Gate Roos took out San Diego and scraped past Denver to be the other undefeated team.
This sets up the semi-final clashes tomorrow where Austin will play Denver and New York will play Golden Gate and the winners heading on to the crescendo Grand Final match.
