Very successful games in Britain and now Germany. This upcoming season they will play in Spain, they are getting their ducks in a row.

They will have their own division then So they need a few more teams still. I’m sure London is ready and Berlin but you need atleast 3 4 more to make it make sense. Spain yup. Could Mexico join this international division. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico City will be in a US conference because of the time zone & travel distance. having a Euro Division won't be easy. I think it's a ways away from expansion.

Goodell himself openly talked about the idea of a 4 team European division. He said he believed London could support 2 franchises so if you did that with Berlin and Madrid, there's your 4 teams. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-floats-wild-idea-of-possibly-putting-four-teams-in-europe-as-part-of-major-international-expansion/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 They are also playing a game in Brazil this year. Which makes sense as it is the same time zone, just a long flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You help get your team to the Super Bowl, your team loses in OT to a team who won it last year but get out, you're not a good fit. Ruthless business.

Much smaller population and audience which translates into significantly smaller broadcasting deals .. limited reach (in terms of global audience and awareness) and a somewhat insignificant approach over the years to grow the game at a grassroots level. Football is religion in the US (I know you know this well); Hockey is Canada's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
