REECE BROWN is the future.

Wes Brown is the man.

I've seen it mostly the other way around J_Merce (and I was originally an American football fan as a young kid before I switched over, if that matters), but fair play.

I'm talking more so those from countries where American Football isn't played or isn't popular. I assume you're american...

I am. Maybe I just have the wrong kind of people around, but none of my American football friends, or their friends, seem to know much of anything about soccer, except for like one guy who's an Arsenal fan (poor guy).

Meanwhile the football fans I know seem to know the NFL back and forward. Depends on where you are, I suppose.

EDIT: I just now read your post correctly. Now I know what you mean. My bad.

JM, your arguement falls apart on two points:
1) Your average American is less worldly and informed than your average European/Indian/South America/most other places (not Australia though, Australia has one of the lowest average IQ's in the world)
2) American influence has spread all over the world, and since our football is a big part of our culture, almost everyone has been exposed to it in some way.

I'll put it this way: In the UK the Superbowl is shown on the two biggest channels in the country. In the US where is the World Cup Final shown?

**WOOLCUNT** · 05-25-2011, 09:47 PM

It's was shown on espn and ABC, two pretty big channels.

**Craig** · 05-25-2011, 09:49 PM

Ah I didn't know ABC showed it, statement retracted.
