How far has the world come when it comes to the game of America football?

Saturday night the answer in Austin, Texas was - pretty darn far.

Team Canada beat Team USA 23-17 to win the gold medal in the IFAF Under-19 World Championship.  The win by our neighbors to the north came three years after Team USA won the inaugural world title in 2009 with a 41-3 over Canada.

Team Canada never trailed in the championship game.
