What is the rationale for the London games - they don't like US football over there.

I deal in truth my friend. Euros are too soft for our gladiator-style games.

No its just Deadskins they dont like.

Big surprise that there arent 4 games - impact of Brexit.

Expect Germany to get a couple of games very soon.

As usual - all these games will sell out quickly.

The new Tottenham stadium is partially NFL funded. Expected to be the Jags home stadium when they relocate.

You may be surprised.

Strange, lots of Europeans think Americans are soft because they need 30 pounds of armour and a hard hat before daring to play funked up Rugby.
I guess ignorance is pan-Continental.

Exactly, so the labeling of "soft" is indeed intercontinental. Having worn my Cowboys jersey in England and Germany, I am quite confident to say that the NFL is quite well known internationally. In fact, I've spoken to many people internationally in Europe who have become quite avid NFL followers. Now, it'll never break club football, nor should it. That said, it is well received in Europe. In fact, I could see Germany receiving games at some point as was mentioned considering that quite a few NFL Europe teams were based in Germany. Indeed, there was that WR drafted not long ago by the Vikings. It'd indeed be interesting to see a World Cup of American Rugby (Let's face it, that's what it is) take place.

The how come tickets sell out the same day they go on sale?
Do You think it's American tourists buying them? that would be great for the economy (and frankly, We could use the cash). but seems a bit unlikely.

No Twickenham this year, that's a shame for Anybody flying in to watch, Twickenham is a lot easier to get to from the airport and it's a heckofalot nicer than Wembley and Tottenham, two of London's less attractive urban wastelans

Yeah, I noticed the tag, We didn't get any Skins that I remember on DC.com, lots of Eagles fans and a smattering from other teams, most of 'em were fine and behaved Themselves, some have joined here along with all the other refugees.

Hang on, but I think that is the new stadium that Tottenham is moving into next season which may be why they are shying away from Twickhenham. Though, they'd have a bit of a sticky wicket if that stadium is not completed in time.

The stadium will probably be lovely, but Tottenham will still be Tottenham.

Yeah, that they will be. Pity that Harry Kane plays for that bunch of inept buffoons.

 

[Proximo]

Just LOL at any team who loses a real home game to play over there and be televised at 930am eastern time in the USA. What a joke.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Because every fan wants to get up @8am on a Sunday morning to see their favorite team play.

 

[Aven8]

And people wonder why viewership is down........
