In a game of driving snow and wind that was delayed four and a half hours due to a bizarre vehicular accident inside the stadium, the Kaboomlandia Phoenix defeated the Frenline Delpha Anacondas 34-16 in the first game of the World Bowl XVIII. Shortly before the game's scheduled kickoff, a truck carrying marijuana, on the run from the police, drove into the stadium and hit one of the goal posts, delaying the game until nearly midnight. The game began in earnest at 11:30 PM Quebecois time (which is about 7 AM Kaboomlandian time). The first half was an offensive battle, as Andrew Michaels demolished the Anacondas' defensive line to score two touchdowns. Michaels would finish with 137 yards and three touchdowns on the night, as Kendrick Dwyer scrambled to slow him down. The Phoenix' defense wasn't perfect either, as the wind immensely aided whichever team happened to be playing with the wind and hurt the other team. Late in the first quarter, Frenline Delpha's kicker landed an unbelievable 71-yard field goal to make the score 14-3. Midway through the second quarter:
"Moors looking to go to Leo Fall up the right side. He throws it up the side for Fall...picked off by Cam Johnson! Johnson's away! To the 30-yard line, 20, 15, 10, and now he's pushed out of bounds by Stan Vidaurri, but a beautiful pick by Cameron Johnson!"
The Phoenix would score on that drive, making the score 21-3. The second half was boring as the wind changed directions and started blowing across the field, wreaking havoc on the offensives of the two teams. The game was mostly a kicking contest in the second half, as Porter dropped in three more field goals while Caleb McCallum scored two. The Anacondas did get a late touchdown when Toby Sexton dove over the goal line, but at 34-9, it was too late for it to matter.
The Phoenix will next play Oisinistan, then have a bye before playing group giants Gregoryisgodistan.
