The World is catching up and catching on. At least when it concerns American football.
Tevaun Smith was MVP for the World
Team in last year's game, a 21-14
win for the USA. He's committed
to Iowa.

That would be the deduction while examining the roster of the World team which takes on the USA under-19 national team in the third
International Bowl on National Signing Day in Austin, Texas.
The game will be televised 6 p.m. (EST) on CBS Sports Network Wednesday from the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex.
At last year's Signing Day breakfast, only two World Team players signed
letters of intent. On Wednesday, seven plan to sign.
The World Team, short for the International Federation of American
Football squad, has players and coaches from 19 countries and speak 14
languages.
Counting the football team, coaches and IFAF
development team (about 140 people), the squad traveled 472,408 miles to
get to Austin or about 19 times around the earth.
