The NFL has proposed playing two regular-season games outside the United States starting in 2008, league officials said.

Could be Miami in those games..... The dolphins are one of the most popular teAMs outside the U.S. may be just the cowboys have more fans in the world

Its a bad idea because a team is losing a home game, only way that works is if they play 2 games between divison teams.

Like

Patriots and Jets twice in mexico one year

Otherwise it isnt fair to the team
 
I say we should restrict non-U.S. games to the pre-season, in my humble opinion. That way there's no worries about home field advantage. Other than that, I have no problem with it.

Hey, Totore, didn't the 49ers play in Mexico last year?

yep, minimum two.... would be interesting if it was Miami say in Mexico City and London. Against anyone in our division I would think we would have a home crowd advantage at both of those locations. Also, maybe starting this year, certainly by next, we will be hosting more than eight games at home anyway, so it really wouldn't hurt "too" bad as a fan, Maybe H.Wayne could host a party at the stadium with our new screens that game.

no way man. we all know what we want and we know that pre-season dosn't mean jack! for the NFL to go global, THE BEST of the sport (obviously the mighty fins) need to show what kind of magic an important NFL game has. hopefully, a reg season game will boost the popularity of the sport, then who knows... an NFL world cup! :D man, that would be heaven.

we (the UK) should be the ones to hold it, we have the millenium stadium in Cardiff and we are building a great new stadium in London. dont be greedy Mexico! you've had your turn! :tongue:

In my post I assumed we would be a favorite in London but I'd like to hear what you think about it.

hmm, my opinion isnt really the best, i dont live in London or anywhere within a 200 mile radius of it. Boomer would be the best guy to ask.. another good location for the UK would be somewhere in Scotland as there are quite a few fans there. the dolphins are definately the most popular team over here followed by Dallas, 9ers, Bronco's and maybe Raiders. of course there are those bandwagoner half fans who root for the pats. but a game involving those teams would easily sell out. If the game is in 2008 though, i will do everything in my power to get to that game weather the dolphins play in it or not!
