It failed and lost nearly $1 billion in NFL Europe. Football is huge in the USA, every school team has a team, they just are not very good that is all. Gridiron could not even sell out wembley stadium for the 2008 game, so the novelty has well and truly worn off. Gridiron had it’s chance in the UK years ago.

Soccer is the most popular sport int he world because all you need is a soccer ball really. you need no gears, you don't need to big or tall, you just need a ball. Hell you can even make your own ball it doesn't have to be soccer balls. Also soccer is a simple spot to follow. The only rule is that you can touch the ball with your hand. NOw with American football there are many rules and it is a sport that requires many gear. It is also very violent and NFL knows better that it is not going to be as successful as NBA because basketball is another simple and affordable sport just like soccer that is very popular in the world as well. <a href="http://www.soccernationonline.com" title="soccer" rel="nofollow">Soccer</a> Fan I don’t thing NFL is going to be as popular across the globe because it is a very expensive sport.

The international name for american football is gridiron. The nfl was more popular 20 years ago but now it is seen as some strange american steroid induced niche sport and will never be popular. NFL london had a type of circus feel to it, no real roots have been set in place fro griron in europe and never will. Football however is growing in the usa and has firm roots, the americans have even bought our golden balls over which is really interesting. Football vs gridiron.

Many people went to the game as a novelty. There are also many Americans who live in London Short term and long term. there are still many American's in the rest of Europe (including military). I lived in London for 4 years. There are some who have interest in American "football" but I don't see it ever getting past a novelity sport. They have sports which are far more exciting in the real football and rugby. They won't tolerate watching 30 seconds of action then waiting for another five minutes to set up.
