That's like making the assumption that Canadians only give a about curling and hockey - when we know it couldn't be further from the truth.
I think this one game would draw, only because of the novelty factor.
(And to laugh at the Yanks) ;)

Again, I have no idea how this one off game will fair. The sport (not the league) of American Football is laughed upon in England, also I'd like to add in Australia (where they LOVE making fun of how much padding/ safety gear the American players wear)...

They laugh at it because it's an American game...
The same way the yanks laugh at cricket and then go out to the ballpark and watch an even more mindnumbing sport called baseball.
btw. Football Rocks - both versions of the game. ;)

Except from what I know of Cricket it is SEEMINGLY similar to baseball in terms of how there's a 'pitcher' and a 'bat' but as for comparisons, cricket players don't use gloves to catch the balls do they?
As for Nfl in the London (UK), heard it on the news today. I REALLY doubt it will take over there. For me it's all about soccer (footy) and hockey.

Nope in cricket the fielding team doesnt use gloves to catch the ball except for the dude behind the wickets.
but the thing is that NFL isnt really trying to take off in Europe in my opinion. they just wanna have a few games per season and i do beleive that those games will be well choosen games and they will draw a good crowd and they will further develop a good fan base.
i guess this is something we will have to see when it happens.

i think that the NFL should incorporate the CFL as it would be more exciting. It would almost be like the NHL with the american teams and the canadian ones.

The Canadians wont let that happen.
Just like there wont be a NFL team in Canada, there wont be CFL combining into NFL. Not anytime soon anyways. CFL gambling pool is one of the hottest pools in the business. Too much at loss if CFL combines into NFL.
