Done voted, but I don't see it being held here. I think that they will either have it in Germany, to continue their European plan, or perhaps Canada in an attempt to gauge the level of interest there. Should I be totally wrong, again, I will be trying my best to get tickets.

Hi,

Wrong again?

I think this must count for something, its a poll on the NFL's official website. - so not just random.

As of this post, and 90 additional votes later from when I first posted the statistics for this poll, the % says the same:

Quote
Mexico - 11%
Canada - 14%
Germany - 32%
United Kingdom - 41%
Total Votes: 3667

I thought that they might have held the first international game in Germany because of the level of support there and the relative ease of travel for the rest of europe. Overjoyed that I was wrong.

The NFL generate a lot of polls to maintain interest in certain things but I believe that they already have a venue picked out for the next game. Hope that I am wrong I would love it to be in the UK again.

Have theowners not decided that there should be two international games next year?

I think it'll be Canada and Germany mind you, and then back to UK and Mexico the year after, alternating like that until they go mental and try to put one in Japan which I think is a step too far.

Yes, the decision was to have two, but I'm not sure whether or not that there were to be two starting next year. If there are two, hopefully we will get one but I still think Germany and Canada would be chosen.

Japan is still more interested in baseball, so I can't see it going there unless attitudes change.
