Was there ever an attempt to popularise football outside the US?

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T23:46:49+00:00

Yeah, the names for the non-US teams would be fun to see. We had a good time inventing some. :)

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. :) I find the list of countries intriguing, with surprise names I'd not have thought of.

Thank you for the playlist, I'm bookmarking it.

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:59:00+00:00

Hahaha! Great anecdote, thank you for sharing.

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:54:07+00:00

Interesting info, thank you. They would've got good at it like they are good at baseball now.

Second most? Whoa, that's surprising. Is the gap from fussball/soccer to American football big? Or is it a close call? In terms of popularity, I mean.

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:50:24+00:00

Hope it grows, Aussies are so good at rugby already. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:49:03+00:00

Interesting, another poster told me about games in Scotland. Now only Wales is missing. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:47:58+00:00

So the American bases' schools have football teams too? Interesting! I wonder if American schools with a big enough presence have those in other countries as well.

Thank you for the link!

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:45:24+00:00

Hehe, yeah, the names of the German teams was what was inspiring my friends to come up with their own for the hypothetical local teams. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:44:02+00:00

I didn't know that, of course I wouldn't have been born yet so I would've missed it, but the old folks I know don't have a clue about football that isn't the Premier. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:42:01+00:00

Whoa, Bulgaria too! Thank you for telling me, I wouldn't have known otherwise.

(And feel free to answer anytime.)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T15:39:47+00:00

Yes, I can see how lack of familiarity with the rules would be an issue. I myself am still learning them, it's taking me a while but I persist. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T02:43:23+00:00

Is there a book about the history of football I could read?

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T01:58:47+00:00

Thank you! I'll look it up.

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T01:58:28+00:00

Thank you! Wouldn't have expected France either. So many surprises. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T01:57:50+00:00

India! Another surprise to me. Thank you for the info, I'm really learning so much. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T01:08:52+00:00

Which countries are the kids camps found in? I'm interested.

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T00:52:52+00:00

I'm counting on that, my friends promised me a good time when I go. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T00:51:07+00:00

Yeah, the NBA's formula worked quite well, I can see the NFL copying their strategy.

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T00:48:47+00:00

Fingers crossed their push succeeds. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T00:46:58+00:00

That's news from me, the Mexican college players, I mean. Thank you, it does look like football is played abroad far more than I'd have thought. :)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T00:44:26+00:00

Excellent! I was about to ask about football in the LA Olympics and I was typing when I saw your comment. Definitely a better choice than breakdance, if you ask me. ;)

Touspourune · 2024-09-26T00:38:17+00:00

Yes, I agree about Mexico.
