Will you guys even know what is going on.  There may be riots when a soccer game doesn't start. :D

What are you guys going to call it??  Obviously not Football LOL.

I think the really interesting part will be how they will get half the felons on those teams into the country!

Suckball or dumbball look to be accurate and descriptive.

It is really complex... "American Football"

I get the rough idea, i have a friend that plays it and i have spent some time in the states.  I might even go and watch it - will be an excuse to check out the new Wembley stadium (and for that reason alone the game will probably be a sell out - certainly wont get tickets to the real football games there.  So it is a good time to launch NFL in europe with a guaranteed massive crowd).

Have'nt they done this several times before? What happened to NFL Europe? Did the league fold?

NFL Europe is a separate league i think.  I don't know but i hear that it is big in Germany, dont know if we even have any teams in this country.

This is an actual NFL game being played in London.

I know. It has been done several times before, usually as a preseason game. They have played in Mexico City and Tokyo, too. NFL Europe is a direct offspring of the NFL. They were/are using it as a farm league.
