National Football League (NFL) is now entering the playoffs. This is the most exciting time for the NFL enthusiasts. I was wondering how the NFL games will be received by European countries as the NFL is scheduling couple of games in Europe this year. I know rugby and soccer are the sports in Europe but I think NFL games will spread like wildfire in Europe once they are introduced to the game.

It is somewhat difficult in the beginning to understand the NFL games but someday in the future, I think we will have NFL teams in Europe as well. What do you all think? By the way, Happy New Year to everyone! :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Keep it
I always find NFL games to be slow, play for 5 minutes, break for 3 etc etc
I'm not a great fan of 'FOOTBALL' either, rugby is more my kind of thing
BUT give me hockey anyday!!

Personally I don't think football will ever become a major sport in Europe.
To much competition from other sports that have a history in the countries already.

just my 5cents
