Superbowl 2011


I'd like to speak about the Super bowl today. Held yesterday in Dallas, this is one of the biggest sport event in the world With the Olympic games and the World cup of Soccer. What¨s the relation with Korea ? Well, as almost all the country in the world American football in Korea is not quite famous. However, it remains a sport (almost) well known thanks to broad casted program like the Super bowl. There is in Korea an american football Championship, including severeal clubs, and tenth of University team. At the end of the season, the best clubs meets the best university team, and play the "Kimchi Bowl"

Here is a Summary of the 45th Super bowl :

Super Bowl XLV was the 45th annual Super Bowl, the championship game of professional American football. The game decided the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2010 season, and was played between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Pittsburgh Steelers and the National Football Conference(NFC) champion Green Bay Packers. The game was held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on February 6, 2011. The Packers defeated the Steelers with a score of 31 to 25. Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named Super Bowl MVP, completing 24 of 39 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns.

The 110,000 capacity Cowboys Stadium, completed on May 27, 2009, is the largest domed stadium in the world. As the new home of the Dallas Cowboys, it was the first time the Super Bowl was played in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and the third time it was held in the state of Texas, with the city of Houston having hosted Super Bowl VIII andSuper Bowl XXXVIII previously. Per convention as an odd-numbered Super Bowl, the Packers as the NFC representatives had the home team designation, wearing green jerseys. The game was broadcast live on Fox. The National Anthem was sung byChristina Aguilera and the halftime show featured the American hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas.
