It's just stupid talk about having more games over seas to me. The start times are all off and it screws the everyday season ticket holder out of a game. I loved the talk they were having about the Super Bowl maybe being played outside the USA. Thoughts of 10,000 Bass Boats going across the pond to kick some arse come to mind in that one.

I understand what you're saying, but isn't that a rather biased opinion? I mean, i love watching American football, but that usually means having to stay up until 1.30am to see the finish of a game.
It's all about marketing. NFL has boomed over here in the last 2-3 years, there is a strong market. They made sure they kept a record of people who bought tickets for this game and 7% of the crowd have come from America to watch it. Now on the face of it, 7% doesn't seem like a huge figure, but when you think of a flight of at least 6-7hours, that is some dedication. It is a great thing for the sport overall. Your points are all valid ones, but if they decided to take a top soccer game to America, i would support it all the way. It's great world wide marketing. What would be great if a deal could be done with airlines, and provide cheap airfares for people with game tickets. Man if Liverpool FC ever went to play a premiership game in America, i'm there.....! Danzig, you were right, the Dolphins are getting smacked again.

Maybe next time they should try and schedule a game that would be more enetertaining than a soccer match. Funny how outraged the crowd was when the Giants took a knee at the end.
