What or who is the USA National American Football Team

We here want to put the record clear on who is actually the American National Team for the United States. The Aztec Bowl Team is actually the only American Team that is claiming to be the National Team for the United States http://www.aztecbowl.com/ If you go to this link you will see the history of the Aztec Bowl and who are directly involved in the making of the USA National Team. Team USA American Football is totally independent of the organizations that are involved with the National team and TUSAAF has no real need or want to become the National team of the United States. Team USA American Football is made up of different athletes and welcomes Americans abroad onto its roster to show the respect we have for Americans who are playing abroad on teams overseas because they live and work in the local communities. Military members were the first in many cases to bring American Football to local communities and this is another reason why Team USA American Football is unique because we acknowledge the people who have played a major part in making American Football popular in certain communities overseas. At present their are certain organizations with the USA banner and they include
USA Football
Global Football
Team USA American Football/Stars Stripes  www.tusaaf.com
Team USA Football

USA Football is backed by the NFL and has a direct affiliation with Global Football because they work together with Global football with the Global Jr Championships which is sponsored by the NFL during Super Bowl week. Team USA American Football/Stars & Stripes has a verbal agreement with both USA Football and Global Football to work together in promoting American Football overseas.
Team USA Football are run by semi pro organizations that charge their players to wear the USA uniform. In most cases players on this team only play on the team if they can afford to pay the price to get to locations overseas on their own money. Hopefully this little explanation give some people in American Football overseas a good idea of what is going on with the representation of American Teams in the United States who where the USA Title. The World Cup of American Football will be played in Japan in 2007 and at present USA Football is the only organization who has been paying dues to be called the National team of the United States so this organization will be putting together a team for the American Football World Cup. If you see the alliances that are together you will notice that the Aztec Bowl people will likely get the nod to field the USA National team. USA Football itself works at the Youth Level and does not have a team that plays Under the USA Football logo at the senior level. American Football federations in Europe, Japan, and Mexico are not 100 % sure yet who or when a team will be named for 2007 but they know a American Team will be involved in the World Cup of American Football for the first time since it was established. Overseas National American Football teams are driven by government money to keep a National team, where as American Teams at least in American Football are not. This is the main reason why American Teams in American Football are not traveling on a regular basis to play games overseas. Team USA American Football/Stars&Stripes has been established to have an American Team that can play teams internationally as an independent club team with out active Professional players to help the growth of the amateur sport worldwide.
