Campeonas mundiales de Flag Football, 2012 (click to enlarge)

Mexico's women celebrated an overtime victory over the USA after a very tight and exciting game ( 33-32), and repeated their win from 2004 and 2008.

This sport was indeed very fun to watch (and certainly to play)....shame there was so little publicity for the tournament.
