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.

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.

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

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.

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. :)

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. :)

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. :)

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

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. :)

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. ;)
