After all the English do know what is really is Football, and what is not Football (NFL I'm pointing at you!). Hell even relatives and friends who are into the NFL know that the game called "soccer" is the real Football, American folks being among those who acknowledge that fact. Besides all the commercial breaks American Football games have been known to have may end up dispelling would be fans from the TV sets, just as it did for me as we non American folks HATE IT when commericials interrupt the game. I tried watching the Super Bowl this year but always kept changing the channel as the commercial breaks drove me nuts! So if you want to increase your market substantially, CUT DOWN your commercial breaks and place more ads in the stadiums instead and come up with a better name for the game before it will be more acceptable to a much wider non-US audience. Only then will the game be accepted at the ultra mainstream level there. The NFL will NEVER be as big as the Premiere League in England!

It was not even a full soccer international. The only thing the NFL game will do is cut up the turf. By the way the tickets for the nfl match have been discounted due to lack of demand.
