Saying this game is massive outside Ireland is a bit of an overstatement if you ask me.

There will be some interest in it in the US, but nowhere else.

I wouldn't say massive either but it is a big rivalry game for both teams and both teams have large fan base across the world. I know more Navy and ND alumni on mass in Europe who are American than I do most other US colleges. Navy guys living abroad is an obvious one but ND Alumni seem to stretch the corners of the world.

As I am involved in the game here also I have had a lot of friends and acquaintances in different European countries both Americans and Europeans ask me could I get them tickets.

Lets face it also Notre Dame are probably one of the most recognisable colleges world wide and they are playing the US Navy practically.

The people worldwide that will be interested that you have just described there are going to be 99.99% American though.
Like worldwide interest in GAA will be 99.99% Irish.

I agree with you that the timing is logistic though

Eh no. The friends and acquaintances throughout Europe are good healthy mix of Americans, Canadians, French, German, Italian and a mix of Scandanavians. There is huge Semi Pro and Amateur American Football leagues across Europe and I know quite a few of people spread across Europe because of them. So you have a huge community of Europeans interested in the game plus the Alumni spread across the world.

Also dont forget ND takes in a large amounts of Foreign undergrads every year also so Im sure in the space of the schools existence there is more 0.01% of them that are non American interested in it also.

Sorry but from what i can gather from comments left I cannot answer you as I may be attacking you personally.
My original point was to show that negative comments about other sports is, in my opinion, disrespectful weather it be on the soccer forum or the GAA forum or the boxing forum
It was never my intention to "attack" the person making a comment it was only to voice my opinion of the comment.
PS I hope everyone enjoys their sport this week-end

45 degrees right off his boot. They went straight to ad on espn so no replay of contact.

Should this not be on espn America?

Whoops, Navy fail to convert on 4 and 1 on 30 yard line.

copacetic

Navy in serious trouble already. TD.

A US colleague of mine a few years was working in Dublin for 6 months and went to a few games in Croke Park.
He said that GAA games where the closest comparison he could find to NCAA football for atmosphere, rivalry etc.

I hate David Feherty (or however you spell it).

Used to like him on the Tiger Woods games, but in person he's so irritating.

dubmick

what happened to RTE showing this live on their youtube channel?

DDC1990

Navy score within 57 seconds.

3 plays 75 yards! All passes.

27-10

Nothing, they were never going to. Must be the concert last night you are thing of?

everyone must be buckled at this stage.

Pity it's been such a one-sided game. Seems like the crowd is still enjoying it though.

David Feherty is tough to listen to.

Feherty is a complete langer. his comments and ''jokes'' about ireland and irish people were as enjoyable as a kick in the head

CoachTO you are an awfully sad abrasive person, have respect for other sports. There's no need to have a go at GAA, these two sports couldn't be any less in competition with each other.

I had a go at the GAA now? Oh really thank you for sharing your wonderful post with me. :rolleyes: Good to see your level of comprehension is up your hole.

Your comment above only proves you have the mind of a very sad 12 year old.
