[QUOTE="Miskito, post: 9839, member: 211"] I think the NFL-Europe is great. Any time that the joys of the NFL can be spread throughout the world, is tops in my book. Perhaps this would breed a new World League in the future that would one day pit up the Green Bay Packers against the Shanghai Dragons or the Chicago Bears against the Madagascar Lemurs. Possibilities are endless. Anyway, while watching the "World Bowl" this weekend, I couldn't help but take notice of what the fans were doing. For the most part, they would we cheer as we would if a long pass was caught or a touchdown was made, but there were some instances where the cheering wasn't present, that would be in the US. For instance, a good tackle or gaining just one yard for a first down. I though this was very interesting and made me ponder if they really understand the game. I know it is a fresh sport in Europe, and football has many, many rules and nuances to it that can seem tedious to the casual sports fan, but do the majority of the NFL Europe "American" football fans truly understand yet? Has the grasp started in Europe? Are Europeans talking about it in bars? Is the sport taking root? What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
