United States Australian Football League

It has been a three year wait for the American Revolution. For many of the players that time had passed in a blink of an eye, but for the new members of the Revolution it had been an eternity. The thrill, excitement and pride of representing your country had been bottled up through training camps, selection trails and tryout matches. The wait was now over and they were in a position that no Australian can find themselves – representing their country on the Australian Football field.

Today was fantastic. It's why we play the game. My first International Cup experience was flat out fun. Every now and then we have to remind ourselves of why we play the game - it's because we love the game. We train hard day in and day out, grind out the games in hot weather back home, run the track by ourselves when no one else is watching or joining. But this is what it is all about - playing a game you love.
