Yes, apparently the NFL wants a regular season game outside the US every year. Last Year the 49ers (my team) played in Mexico.
As an Englishman I can't wait to get down to London and see the Giants/Dolphins game in October!!

Hmm, I doubt it, would Man U feel happy about playing in New York rather than Old Trafford? I think it's a gimmick to get more people watching and playing in Europe but it's not economic to subsidise a decent-quality league in the UK as there simply isn't the market share available. Look at how dismal attendances are for Major League Soccer and turn it around.
Actually, I'm kinda surprised they don't have a game in Germany if they want to go abroard, since 4 of the 6 World League sides play there.

I believe the NFL said that there may be 4-5 international games a season. Then the teams that play them will get a bye week the following week.

The NFL wants to play more games overseas but it will be many years down the road before more teams actually play 2 or 3 games outside of the country.

I believe you can look further than a game every now and then. The NFL should give London a franchise! Play the games at the new Wembley stadium. I reckon it would be a huge success.

yes, but I think there will only be one game a year outside the US. I guarentee that the NFL will NEVER have a team outside the US, its just not in tradition.

i think the NFL is hoping it starts a new trend and generates international interest in the great sport.
