Just wondering. I love NFL and MLS (Philadelphia Eagles and DC United) but I also like the competition within the Premier leagues. I learn as much as I can and subscribe to Soccer World magazine to keep up. I know I can do that on my PC, but I do a lot of work on my desktop, and rather read magazines and newspapers. I attended Chelsea v. AC Milan in Philadelphia August 2004. Great to see soccer played among it's best. Try to inform your teams that Americans are starved for your game.

Looks like my header was cut off. It asks if you have a favorite NFL team.

Unfortunately, American Football's popularity is limited only to the US, just as Rugby is to the United Kingdom. Though Rugby and American Football have reached outside of their continents, (either through taped footage or games), the response is very little compared to Soccer.

Yes i was born and raised in highbury north London and my local team which you might have guessed already is Arsenal who i support wholeheartedly i also stay up late to watch NFL games when i can and always watch the Superbowl, the titans are my team.
My cousins came over from DC this summer and was suprised to see they were interested in watching the world cup with us, its great to see americans do like football and don't see it as a sissy sport.
i have to disagree with Ryoga316, although the NFL isn't as popular as football or rugby it is still a sport many people watch, people even have superbowl parties here.

No, via fact then human beings might then get U.S. rugby perplexed with worldwide rugby. i think of that if there could be any renaming, with a view to no longer get perplexed with diverse forms of soccer, then U.S. soccer could be called gridiron (they call it that throughout the time of Australia), and soccer could stay called 'soccer'. in spite of everything, the term 'soccer' is short for association soccer.

The only reason i have any respect for american football is that my friend likes it and that he respects south american soccer which i like.
