Flag Football (American Football) in HCMC

I'm looking to join or maybe even start some organized flag football games. If anyone is interested let me know, there's some decent fields in District 2 that can be rented out (shouldn't cost much if we can get a decent sized group).

Thanks

You got a ball?

I have a small one, not full size but I'm sure we could find a ball.

I've tried finding a ball but wasn't successful since American Football isn't popular here (not sure if it even exists).  Wild_1 is in the States and will bring me one when he comes back here. 

If you have a ball, then we should go hang out and throw some long bombs.  That'll get some locals interested in the "new sport" and we can introduce them how to play.  Flags would be too cumbersome to manage so just do the two hands tag deal that we learn in middle school. 

I'm in Vũng Tàu and there are some beaches out here we can throw the pigskin around.

That would cool, I'm in HCMC and I don't go to Vung Tau very often. If you're ever in HCMC send me a message.

I'll let you know of any more people want to get together and play a game.

Because I don't have access to Fartbook, I waste spend my time here on Expat-Blog.

Howie was being sarcastic that teaching a Vietnamese will make you pull your hair out. So you need lots of patience to teach them hence Howie's comment that you have lots of time.

I just said I don't have access to Fartbook.  So is this group American Gridiron Football group or a soccer (yes yes the rest of the world calls it "football") group?

Khanh, how did you read my mind???

How about just stick your t-shirts into your shorts? 

Don't tell me you are the type that would shove the whole thing in there, literally??? 

I suggest you pick a different sport, THD.  I will take all your lunch money in football, the REAL football, that is.

Good idea.  We'd get a good number of girls to come around and watch our masculine bronze muscles ripping in the setting sun but .......probably can't get them to play though.

Was replying to original poster and not you.  And yes, the group is playing American Gridiron Football as that as what this topic is about and what original poster asked for.  I can read.
