No, it is not a ramen competition. Nor a competition among rice growers! It is American professional football. The San Francisco 49ers are playing the Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans, Louisiana on Feb 4. It is the football version of baseball's World series.

Ah! I see. I looked it up.
Football that you play with your hands? Strange. Should it be handball?

My English teacher spoke about football on our lesson with topic on sports, but he said that it is the one that is in Japan too. Players use their feet. It's popular.

it's not handball, and the superbowl is one of the most important sports events in the world, if not the most important. an unbelievable amount of money is spent during the superbowl.

it's true - unlike the olympics which are spread out over two weeks the superbowl is on one day, and a huge percentage of americans tune in to watch it. not only do they watch it but they organize events, barbeques, etc. buy food. the superbowl has a very big consumer impact in the US, it's hugely important to the winter economy for many many industries.

Kodama is pretty funny! :) Looks like the humour may be flying over some people's heads though.

the superbowl is one of the most important sports events in the world, if not the most important.

The most important in the USA, perhaps. Mostly ignored outside North America.

It is the football version of baseball's World series.

That's a pretty funny analogy to make when the "World Series" features teams from two countries and is basically ignored by most of the world outside North America, although I guess it probably has a few viewers in Japan.

Random article which is a little out of date but has some useful info:-

Enjoy the game!

The most important sporting event in the world???? Some yanks still thinks the U.S. are the whole world... you should go OUTSIDE USA, Canada and maybe Mexico and you will see, almost NOBODY knows about the Superbowl.

Thanks GC3,

I even tried to simulate a writing pattern of beginner English student in here. I hope nobody got offended.

I'm happy that I made some of you laugh. I know the history why it is called "football", but I still think they should have went with some other name and left "football" to the real association football. At least rugby is called rugby and not something like "commonwealth football". That's smart. :)

Anyway, enjoy the game! :D
