Canada overcame a spirited first quarter from France to triumph 45-10 in the second Group B game from Graz at the 2011 IFAF Senior World Championship.
France shocked Canada by taking a 10-7 lead as the Canadians suffered first night nerves on their world stage debut, but a second quarter comeback put the newcomers in the driving seat at the interval and they added insurance points after the break. Three Canadian quarterbacks - Mike Faulds, Josh Sacobie and Donnie Marshall - threw touchdown passes, with Faulds taking the team MVP award.

JAPAN CLAIMS BRONZE WITH 17-14 VICTORY OVER MEXICO

Japan blocked a field goal to preserve victory

Japan won consolation for not contesting the world championship for the first time since the competition began in 1999 by winning the Bronze Medal with a narrow 17-14 victory over a resilient Mexico.
The tight battle that was predicted between a bruising Mexico and finely tuned Japan played out as expected as Mexico attempted to force overtime on the game's final drive and only fell short when a 50-yard field goal attempt by Jose Carlos Maltos was blocked as time expired.

Germany outlasted France 21:17 to claim fifth place at the IFAF Senior World Championship at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna.

Quarterback Joachim Ullrich threw a tournament record longest pass completion of 89 yards that receiver Niklas Romer took all the way to the end zone for German’s first lead of the game at 21-14 in the fourth quarter and France could only muster a field goal in reply.

The win was a repeat of Germany’s European Championship victory over France in 2010.
