Nordic Storm 34 - 37 Munich Ravens Battle of the unbeaten, only one 0 remains. Offensive Performance - 4* Great opening score by Føns, great balance, and effort. A lot of Nordic drops early in the game. THREE interceptions from Tabor in the first half. Offensives kicked into gear in the fourth quarter. Stanley, with a crazy moss catch... gets called back, but that was mental. Seelig with a great catch and run and an aggressive two-point conversion with 6 minutes left. Defensi

Prague Lions 45 - 44 Raiders Tirol Instant Classic. @goran_vic_ - Goran Milosavljevic Offensive Performance - 4.5* A slow first half from both teams. Krajewski with a couple of early INTs and a pick 6. Second half point eruption! The Raiders' running game got going, Carter with some massive plays, Krajewski with some beautiful passes. Jaylon Henderson hit clutch drive after clutch drive to keep the Lions alive. Defensive Performance - 4* Borkovic with an early pick 6. Dakota

This is taking a lot of liberties with the current landscape of European American football, given the division between the EFA and AFLE. Think of this as a "perfect world". @uzis.studio - Aileen Uzoma The team's lack of transparency. It is important to make clear that teams in Europe are too secretive with their player signings. Teams will hide signings until the last second or literally sign them without telling the public. There have been many occasions this season when tea

Prague Lions 13 - 45 Munich Ravens The Prague Lions lose again; the silver lining is that they have played all the most difficult teams early. Munich is just keeping itself warm. @rojo_fotografie - Roland Johannes Offensive Performance - 2* Willy P led the league in receiving yards this week. Great long score at the end of the half, then added another with 10 seconds left of the half. Prague's offensive line kills me. Geyer is more involved with the offence in this game. Muni

Frankfurt Galaxy 12 - 20 Nordic Storm The Frankfurt Galaxy have been improving the last few weeks, but fell short against the Noridic Storm. However, this is the first game this season that someone made the Storm break a sweat. @kevin.sportsphotos - Kevin Reuss Offensive Performance - 3* Glen Toonga is running riot again this season. Galaxy still suck when they get to the red zone; it's been two years of the same situation now. I love Brevin Easton. The Galaxy offensive line

Alpine Rams 20 - 47 Vienna Vikings Another dominant Vienna display, where they only had to flex minimal muscle to beat a team that shouldn't even be in the same sentence when it comes to roster quality. Hannes Jirgal Offensive Performance - 2* The Alpine Rams can not move the ball and muffed a punt in their first attempt. Ben Holmes is too good to be playing a defence like this. Both Vienna TEs are at a higher level than any player on the Rams' roster. Defensive Performance -

Paris Musketeers 24 - 17 Raiders Tirol A close game that came down to the wire, the Raiders look like they could have had a path to victory, but it slipped through their fingers... @maximelepihif - Maxime Le Pihif Offensive Performance - 3.75* Return of the Raiders run game! Zach Edwards fumble. Steven Krajewski is still not in form and couldn't come through in the clutch. A great final two drives by the Paris Musketeers. Multiple missed field goals. Defensive Performance - 4

I have a lot of player evaluations in the vaults. Free for viewing and usage. These are from the end of the 2025 season.

The first quarter of the EFA is over and out. New players have broken out, and I want to talk about them. Edris Jean-Alphonse, Defensive Back, Paris Musketeers EJA's game vs Louis Geyer made me revisit the tape, and, to my surprise, he has mostly been used as a rotational defensive back for the Paris Musketeers. This isn't a crazy revolution, given that the Paris secondary is arguably the best in Europe right now and features multiple players with CFL experience, including Ed

Nordic Storm 40 - 14 Prague Lions Prague are in deep trouble; if they can't turn this season into a 2-4 win season, they'll lose all their momentum. Nordic is completely on the other side of the coin, looking towards the championship. Offensive Performance - 2* Prague's offensive line should be ashamed of this season's performance. I think this says all you need to know about the Prague OL. This was the first play. Screens were killing the Lions' secondary from the start. Thi

Frankfurt Galaxy 21 - 5 Raiders Tirol Battle of the 0-2. With the Galaxy back in winning ways, the Raiders are asking, "Where do we go from here?" Kevin Reuss Offensive Performance - 1* No TDs thrown by Garbers or by Krajewski. Ameln has not fixed his fumble issues. Good forced fumble on his own QB though. Krajewski has not lived up to his week one expectations. There's something about the Galaxy being awful when they get to the goal line. Snaps were bad for both teams. Defen

Rhein Fire 10 - 24 Vienna Vikings A preview of the championship game, no doubt. Vienna looked the better team for every second of the game. The offence for Rhein Fire has disappointed when they needed it most. Photo: Hannes Jirgal Offensive Performance - 3* The Vienna offensive line is just stunningly good. Neither QB really caught fire in this game. Bahar has been a bit disappointing. I really missed watching Harlan Kwofie play. The depth of Vienna is just too much for anyon

Munich Ravens 41 - 7 Paris Musketeers What was meant to be a close playoff preview was made ugly by a torrid offensive performance from the Paris Musketeers. Offensive Performance - 1.5* 3 INTs by Zach Edwards and a lost fumble. Balls are coming in so high from Zach Edwards. Most TDs have been from broken plays. Defensive Performance - 3.25* 5 turnovers for Munich. Paris Defence had moments in the first half. Raich, Anderson, Zirngibl, and Harris all played at an all-star lev

Wroclaw Panthers 22 - 14 Paris Lights The Wroclaw Panthers are going to Paris for what should be an easy win vs the Paris Lights. In one word, MESSY. Offensive Performance - 2* I adore watching Jameson Wang play football. It looks like Juan Flores Calderon and Wang could have a good connection with more time. Paris is one-half of this grade and looked very poor on every level. Wroclaw went up 22-0, then decided to be awful on offence. Defensive Performance - 2.5* Good forced

Vienna Vikings 42 - 23 Wroclaw Panthers The best team in the AFLE vs another presumed playoff lock matched up in week 2 of the AFLE. It was, offensively, a fireworks show, I'll give them that. Offensive Performance - 4* Ben Holmes threw some very pretty balls. Jameson Wang remains one of the best QBs in Europe. Two Panthers fumbles in the opening half. Deep balls have been open all day. Wroclaw OL is suspect. Defensive Performance - 2* The two fumbles are carrying the grade.

Munich Ravens 45 - 26 Frankfurt Galaxy First German derby of the EFA season. The Frankfurt Galaxy wanted to right its wrongs from week 1. The Ravens took another scalp on the way to a championship run. @kevin.sportsphotos - Kevin Reuss Offensive Performance - 4* Tabor looked great early. Garbers was very good in the short and intermediate game. Got really hot later in the game. Some really beautiful passes. Galaxy's offensive line has been massively underwhelming at the start

Firenze Red Lions 8 - 30 Paris Lights Two teams making their debut in the AFLE as clubs. How did they perform in the opening act? ©M. Elizechea Offensive Performance -2* Paris hit some form in the second half. Both offensive lines looked pitiful. The run game for both teams struggled. The Red Lions' passing game was awful. 3 muffed punts and a missed field goal in just the first half. Defensive Performance - 1.5* Everyone knows I enjoy watching Davidson Larochel play football

Brandon Bryant - Sweden - Nordic Storm - Defensive Back Riccardo Foglio @riccardo_foglio Pros Run game: Seals the outside even if he has to take on bigger guys. Quick reactions. Good tackler. Special teams: Cons Run game: Struggles to get off blocks Special teams: Strengths Fluid movement Great reactions Reads receiver movement well Pass game: Sinks his hips on comeback routes. Super twitchy. Smooth hips Fast. Pass game: Can be out-muscled. Weaknesses

American Football League Europe... I am attempting to be non-biased. Many will discount my positions because of my affiliation with the EFA; however, I love being right, regardless of who I work with. If this ages well, then it just helps me do that. It may be brutally honest, but it shows my frustration with the predicament we've found ourselves in. ©Hannes Jirgal 8 - Red Lions Firenze No disrespect, but this team can't play. They have very poor import allocation and select
