  • Baseball is the third most popular team sport in the world after soccer and basketball. it is much more likely to become more popular worldwide than football which is not close to having anything worldwide like the world cup for soccer, the olympics for basketball, or the world baseball classic for baseball. I like it more than soccer or basketball but the rest of the world doesn't.

  • baseball is the most popular recreational sport in the us. Little league, high school, and adult teams add up to a much higher number then soccer, football, or basketball.

  • That robot is creepy as hell. Whats with teh british reporter rambling on and going "uhhh" for like a minute in this vid?  Has england ever heard of editing?

  • Just learnt I know a relative of somebody who helped built that thing.

    Sweet, in a vauge claim to fame kind of way.

  • NFL is less popular now than it was 15 years ago. NFL is on the slide and has no growth, check the stats. Football keeps growing and is on another level to gridiron. There were about 100 people at this robot thing, not very popular I am afraid.

  • Its still the most popular sport in America, and we might watch "soccer" or footsie if there is absolutely nothing else on. I know its the most popular sport in the world, but not to Americans, and we know that pisses everyone off.

  • No one is the slightest bit interested in the fact that americans suck at football and thus constantly attack the sport. On the other hand yanks are torn apart by the fact that no one cares about steroid sports like baseball or gridiron.

     NFL spent millions on NFL euorpe and lost every penny, football never loses money it always grows as a sport. In the Uk we watch gridiron and play gridiron less than you yanks play our sport of football. Dealt with.

  • rugby is better.

  • 1. More americans play football than baseball, ice hockey or gridiron.

    2. The europeans have enough money to buy the equipment to play gridiron but choose not to as they find it unfullfilling.

    3. NFL london was a fine event and I hope it happens every year.

    4. NFL may be boring to play but it is better than baseball, cricket or rugby union to watch.

  • ur right about everything you just said except american football isnt boring to play it takes alot of agility and stamina like soccer or rugby and its very fun if you have both

  • Were any other American NFL fans embarrassed watching this game or was it just me?

  • I agree, it wuz a dumb move, and if the purpose was to boost the popularity of the nfl, y did he send the dolphins? U gotta send the best to entertain. Its like us gettin beckam, hes not the best, anyone who knows the game knows that.

  • Personally, I think that it was a pretty arrogant/dumb move for the NFL to send a game overseas.A it sucks for the teams.B It sucks for fans of the Dolphins who had season tickets (they just lost a home game).C There are only a handful of people in the UK who care about American football and a game being played in their backyard certainly isn't going to change that. Its just as if they sent a pair of top-notch soccer teams over here. I wouldn't watch or care.

  • a bloody big handful, also there is loads of dolphins fans in the u.k

  • No Kidding? That surprises me. I thought it was a marketing scheme to build a market in England. I didn't think that there was much interest there. It makes more sense if they are catering to existing fans rather than trying to create new ones. I still am not thrilled with sending games half-way across the world. Players struggle with games across the country, let alone across the pond.

  • And that is both because I would have nothing invested in the teams and I never followed soccer that carefully before anyway, so why start with a game just because its in my country or continent? All in all just a stupid concept. I don't know what the NFL thought was going to happen. I love the sport, but I think that some of the people at the top who make decisions are a few french fries short of a happy meal.

  • As to which sport is better... about the only things these sports have in common are their names and the grass their played on. Lets talk about something more important... like how good the cheerleaders looked.

  • just as anericans will never embrace football...

    ...europeans will NEVER embrace american football

    besides, why is american football even called football, its just a lot of pushing and shoving...i've never seen a foot involved anywhere!

  • omg u guys never understand shit, ur so fucking thick headed. Americans r stupid, rugby is better cuz they dont have pads, soccer is popular, shut the fuck up w/ ur bullshit. We do have rugby n soccer, our best athletes just think its to boring play, our fans think its to boring to watch, y do u get mad? Always bitchin against the U.S. for sumthin.

  • "6.3 billion people takes up a third of the world's population " You dimwit there are only 6.6 billion people on earth. All nfl fans say is "football is for pussies, or the rest of the world is poor." Europe has a bigger gdp than the usa and we have little time for stagnant steroid sports like baseball and nfl. Football is liked by rich and poor alike.Ronaldinho and beckham are two of the top three most famous sports stars on earth, no nfl players anywhere.

  • yea that was my mistake but its not 6.3 billion soccer fans and noone in the USA plays soccer because its considered a non-entertaining sport why would anyone in the US see a dude runing around in circles kicking a ball for 90min? its just so boring and un-entertaining to watch and players can make more money doing stuff here anyway so why bother with soccer

  • No one plays soccer in the U.S? Are you kidding? It's the MOST played sport in the U.S, just not the most watched because the U.S prefers to watch their own sports and also the MLS is of a poor standard.

  • There is no way soccer is the most played in the us. Most rural towns in america still dont even have soccer teams but i guarantee they have a football, baseball, and basketball team.

  • Soccer is the most played. Most rural towns don't have very big populations anyway. Kids only start playing other sports seriously when they reach High School.

  • so your saying, if i walk into a school right now and say who wants to get out of class and play basketball or soccer, you think more kids will want to play soccer....dude there is no way..it only makes sense Why is basketball and football so popular, because everyone played it or wishes they could play it.

  • For one, in America the NFL has become far more popular than basketball. Basketball is still mostly played by inner city black kids because it doesn't require large open spaces or much equipment. For kids to play soccer they also don't need much equipment and there is less chance of serious injury than if they were playing American football. Therefore kids play soccer more than any other sport. It's not watched on TV because it's not in your culture and because the MLS is of such a low standard.

  • y r all us soccer guys rguin wiv these clowns they dnt evn have a point evry 1 wiv ne brain nos socca is the best dnt evn ge in2 n rgument theres nothn ther guna say thats una change that rguin wiv most americans is like rguin wiv a 3 yr old

  • dude spell right before saying dumb shit

  • Fottball and football are both very nice sports ppl stop arguining.

  • lol thats the only thing u ppl always say, " football/soccer is the most popular in the world" of course it is, thats all the world fucking has!! The u.s. has the best athletes in the world and football/soccer isnt wut interests them. rugby wannabe? Rugby is boring as fuck and its to simple. U gotta understand a.football in order to like it. I live like 1 hr away from mexico so theres alot of mexicans n hispanics down here and its still a.football crazy cuz they understand it

  • Football is the number one sport one earth. Outside of the usa nfl is seen as a freak show, a hybrid of rugby and lacks real skill or depth. If the whole world 6.3 billion people started liking nfl then you would indeed have a good sport, but no one takes it seriously. As for the usa hating football this is because you suck at it.

  • 6.3 Billion people dont like soccer so get your facts straight and soccer is a pussy sport.6.3 billion people takes up a third of the world's population and there is not that many soccer fans

  • There is 3.5+ billion football fans around the world and just 400 million for your crappy sport!

    Who wins??? It's pretty obvious!

  • its called American Football for a reason because it only exists in America you jackass soccer was around long enough to make it to other countries the NFL has to get its football around to other countries so it can get as popular as soccer

  • just cos a sport has more fans doesnt make it better, it only has more fans because its been around longer so has spread to other countrys

  • To 100% of Anti-NFL Brits commenting here:Let's see you guys play an NFL game..you wouldnt last 5 seconds on a field in an NFL game so stop saying NFL is a pussy sport because you seen just one sucky game oh and btw.....soccer is boring and pathetic the only time it gets exciting is when the World Cup is held NFL is exciting ALL THE TIME

  • You americans try rugby then! Without your silly maks on!

  • we have rugby in America but as someone already said its too boring for fans to watch and too boring for athletes to play PERIOD!!

  • man this game was a dissapointment, really sloppy, lots of turnovers and not much offense, it leaves a bad impression on how exciting NFL games really are. They should send elite teams, what if they had sent the 8-0 pats vs the 7-0 colts for next week, now that would have been sumthin to watch.

  • Yeah man I know what you mean, it's not a good representation of what the NFL really is.

  • neither the pats or colts would be willing to give up a home game but the dolphons would cos they are doing so bad they have nothing to lose

  • JT had a shit game

  • god.. this is creepy- is this like an NFL invasion of europe? they already have robots taking over... FREAKING CAPITALISTS!!! idiot jerks.. who believes in commerce? thats absurd... why would the NFL even THINK about trying to push the sport?  why do all these people want money? forget money.. and idea.. and promotion- those capitalistic ideas will open a mind and ruin a people

  • Americans buy your football jerseys and pay extra money to get the games on the tube... So it goes both way's.

  • lol, man it was sarcasm directed at the guy who was mad at the "americans" trying to push "their sport on europe"... i'm an american- and yes, its always a good thing.. and also, you're right- i have 2 chelsea jerseys, scarfs and i order the Premiership soccer package on satellite- so yes, it definately goes both ways.

  • Yeah im a fat fuck i weigh 185 6'2"u smell used wanker undies

  • pervert are you trying to groom me? I didnt ask for a personal measurements, then to imply that i want to smell your sweaty dirty underwear, thats to much, Ill av the authorities after you!

  • im impling that im not fat.i know i could kick your arse all over wussie stadium.Groom over here means kick your ass in the usa

  • Why do brits on YouTube get so hostile about American Football?

    Who cares about arguing about "which game is better". It's completely subjective, and the question will never be answered. So get back to eating your spotted dick, and shut up.

  • Why do YANKS on YouTube get so hostile about Soccer?

    Who cares about arguing about "which game is better". It's completely subjective, and the question will never be answered.

    So get back to eating your pizzas, burgers, fries, corn dogs, hot dogs, ribs, steak, fried chicken, and shut up

  • Can I just say, We brits would rather eat spotted dick then suck actual dick like you american backward twats.

  • Don't get so upset man. I know it is probably embarrassing for you that the UK is essentially the US's bitch.

  • Your mothers my bitch

  • My mother is 63, you must be proud.

  • very proud I make her feel 18 again, so she says

  • And ismellusedundies, wow just wow.

  • you dont even know what used undies are you thick inbred fat fuck

  • ismellusedundies, I know what you use your undies for. You make them dirty from looking at pics of 63 year-olds online. Don't argue you've already admitted it.

  • America is just that fat mate who does embarrasing stuff, gets bullied by people and noone likes, Everyone has one But at the end of the day you have to get on with him because he makes you laugh with the shite he comes out with and he gets you all the latest gear.

  • GO WANK OFF YOU WANKER

  • hit the nail right on the hed well fcukin sed

  • Yeah man! Those yank backward cunts

  • YANK MY DICK YOU PUSSY ENGLISH FAG

  • You WANT me to yank your dick? Yet your calling me the fag?

    Hmmm I think me calling you backward really is justified.

  • Your analogy is a bit off. Here's a more accurate one: America is the schoolyard bully (fat maybe, doesn't really matter) who does whatever he wants because no one has the balls to do anything about it. GB and France like to hide in secret and talk about how much they hate America, but when he comes around, they smile and laugh like the good little bitches they are.

  • But it does matter if he's Fat because we have a song for the bully "who ate all the pies, who ate all the pies, you fat bastard you fat bastard you ate all the pies!"

  • mate, we used to own your country. you needed the help of the french to get it back. in fact, most of you white americans come from the uk or europe originally.

  • Wow REALLY!? I had no idea! Thank you sooo much for telling me that right there, it changes everything. And most white americans are from Europe originally!? Holy Christ! I thought white people just materialized, wow thank you for enlightening me.

  • LOL... chewie, I think its safe to say that ALL white people in America originally came from Europe (the skin diseased excluded).

  • The reason I said MOST come from Europe is because parts of Russia were considered to be Asia at the time of immigration.

  • if anything football (soccer) is getting more popular in usa, not the other way round. uk football keeps growing, with countries getting better and any team is quite competetive. it cant be overtaken.

  • i dont think that anybody here cold throw an american football 70 yards, or catch a ball coming at 90 mph

  • More people play football in the usa than gridiron it is just that americans are very poor at football. Football demands technique that you need to learn froma young age. Most nfl players only start playing nfl at 13 or 14, it is easy to become good at nfl so they drop football which has a world class level of competition.

  • Warrior, soccer is considered a child's sport in the U.S.. (not trying to be rude) Parents feel it is good exercise and little contact but at the upper levels noone cares about it. Its probably the 5th or 6th most popular sport in the U.S., if it became the primary sport the U.S., with 300 million people, would be very good.

  • yes i know NFL europa has finished now because it failed but come on, not evry fan that watched one of the games there was an american living in Germany, there wer many Germans there because there is many fans of the sport in Germany and other places in Europe which is the point im making, leatherfox sed that it will never cath on in Europe but there is many european fans of the sport

  • well its not as popular as soccer in europe, thats the main sport, and really, to take off in the entirity of europe, it needs to challenge soccer as a main sport, but the problem is cos rugby is similar i cant see it takin off in the UK, maybe in the rest of Europe, but not the UK

  • im english and love the NFL, chewie2240 if no1 cares bout da NFL outside america den y will wembley b packed with 90,000 BRITISH fans there to watch it. And LeatherFox american football HAS taken off in Europe in places like Germany. like with NFL Europe, it was wen european teams like Hamburg Sea Devils playd in front of crowds of 70,000. There is 60 million fans of the NFL in the U.K, but your all so ignorant that you dont realize it, why else would a game be played at Wembley?

  • Err, NFL Europe was a colossal failure. Sure, there were a lot of fans who went to see games in Germany, but do you have an idea how many were American servicemen stationed in Germany?

    Hint: A lot.

  • NFL Europe lasted longer than I thought it would...I think 15 years.

    Consider the fact that you can only root for scrub players for so long.

  • Spot on.

  • 60 million fans of the nfl in uk? what? you know there are only 58 million total population in the uk right? also, there is a big attendance because it is a novelty, a circus. why do you think there are no gridiron teams in the uk? why did nfl europe go bust? as jamesw6179 rightly said, the only nfl europe fans were in germany and guess which country has the highest number of US troops outside of america?

  • yeah i mucked up with the numbers there, there are gridiron teams in the u.k - theres 3 divions of teams

  • Just because soccer is played in more places globally does not make it better. There are more McDonald's restaurants worldwide than Ruth's Chris steakhouses, but which has better food? Soccer is the fast-food of the sports world. It's quick, it's cheap and it's easy.

  • to be honest it just goes on your country traditions, soccer in the USA, is portrayed "as fast food sports" but in europe it is the main sport, it just goes on your country upbringing, to some in europe its a religion

  • Your absolutly Right Leatherfox, Im shure if i grew up in america(Thank god i didnt) I`d be an NFL fan, but that dosnt mean Americans shouldnt see through how flawed American Football is.

  • Wow, 42 and still arguing about Football v. futball? sad.

  • Football has 95% of black people playing and watching it world wide you numpty, in a place called africa. Football is all about technique, vision, co ordination, balance. NFL and rugger are simply collision sports and give fans a few basic cheap thrills.

  • American football is the game that requires most skill. You really sont understand do you. On every down there is a different complicated play (i bet ur confused alredy). The head coach of one team has to try and outsmart the opposing Head Coach.

  • How can u say that happyhammer, Not many people can do what ronaldo does with a football. that takes real skill. American Football mabye tactical but thats got nothing to do with skill has it.

  • thats very true, the only skill required in American football really is a good build, good arm (kinda like cricket in a way) and maybe pace too, but i totally agree with u about ronaldo, he takes football to an entire new level when watch him

  • As does Hayden Mullins. Quality.

  • to all you soccer fans out there suck sweaty balls and die.....soccer is for punk ass euro trash...football is a real mans sport. I dont know way this game has to be played in wankesrville London...dont you bloody blowks need to have tea & crumpets or something....USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!

  • thats just your opinion, soccer is the most played sport across the world, look at the passion in the likes of italy and argentina, even in Japan and Australia, i toally agree with you that the NFL should stay in the USA and is not gunna take off in Europe, in fact outside the USA at all. Also if u want all soccer fans dead, that would involve killing off an incredible amount of the worlds population

  • Uhh, actually, in Japan the most popular professional sport would be baseball.

  • not any more. among people between the ages of 8-35 soccer is the biggest sport in japan. baseball had a huge following there until the formation of the j league soccer and the World Cup there in 2002 gave soccer a slight but ever expanding popularity lead.

  • LOL haha well said tropic786

  • Soccer for euro trash? It's the biggest sport in all Africa, The Middle East, Asia and South America as well as Europe. Nobody outside USA gives a crap about the NFL. Maybe if you took off the pussy pads it might be more popular but then again you would then run the risk of one of your players injuring their vagina.

  • I'm not going to defend football to feverishly here, since I am not a giant booster of the sport, but saying it's a "bad" sport because they have pads is ridiculous.

    Would you feel that ice hockey should be played without pads? Would that make it a "better" sport? Because you're insane if that's what you truly believe, and most likely someone who's never put on skates to play.

  • hockey is played on a rock hard surface with blades that can cut so I don't think it should be played without pads but nfl could be. if rugby players can play 80 mins with only 10 mins break with no protection being hit by 280 pound guys than the nfl could do the same even with their breaks every 2 mins. most rugby players have facial scars and broken noses, they look like boxers. nfl players don't have a scratch on them.

  • IF you want to get down to the nitty gritty,football was originally played without pads or helmets.Rugby is tough but looks like a gay gang bang or swomething like that.If NFL players Did not have that gear we would not have a game.

  • American football is the most dangerous sport in the world buddy. It's just statistics man.

  • lmao i want one!

  • American Football Takes no SKILL what so ever, there might be Lots of tactics involved but to play English Football(soccer)you actully have to have TALENT, something you dont need to play american football were all you need is to be well built and have a strong arm so that you can chuck a ball a long distance.

  • thats just the quaterback jackass..you rly dont know anything

  • you mean kicking a ball around? there is more to throwing the ball you fagot, go lick soccer players nuts on their videos you tool

  • i posted this earlier, but it's hard to argue that NFL requires more skill than soccer. blocking requires only brute force, whereas dribbling, passing, set pieces require actually athleticism. NFL is more coaching, soccer is more playing.

  • The giant JT robot could not even begin to help the Dolphins.

  • Even though the Dolphins are hideous, the NFL should not let them use a huge robot to help them win the game. That is just wrong.

  • how stupid is this? Goodell needs to grow some brains and realize that the NFL will NEVER talk off in Europe, South America, Asia or anywhere else. Sorry, it won't happen. They NFL Europe failed because they already have football. We call it soccer.

  • i totally agree with you

  • warriorprinice101 have you ever played football or seen it...because if you have you wouldn't be saying that because its the GREATEST SPORT EVER!

  • Since doing a Uwe Boll movie Christian Slater is hardly a Hollywood Actor.

  • There is no one there for this apparent grand opening. NFL is a freak sport, a hybrid of rugby. It isn't taken seriously outside of the usa. The skills needded for nfl are simply way too basic.

  • Spoken exactly like someone who has absolutely no clue what they are talking about.

  • warriorprince1010 u have no idea wur ur talkin about. If u understood the game u would think differently. NFL is to complicated for u, rugby is to simple n boring as for NFL it is more exciting. I dont really care where this sport is popular, important thing is that its popular here in the u.s. I cant argue though that u dont care for our sport cuz we dont care for yours also.

  • American football is the most strategic field sport in the world you fool. Their are more plays and formations than soccer, rugby and any others put together. Plus, the athletes that play football are the best, most talented athletes in America. Our World Cup soccer and rugby teams would be better, but the top athletes here in the states play football. Simple as that.

  • well said

  • While NFL may be a more strategic game, I couldn't argue it requires more skill than say soccer. How much skill does blocking take opposed to dribbling, connecting on crosses, free kicks, etc. NFL is more about coaching and soccer is more about playing.  I love both sports.

  • you have no idea what your talking about.rugby is a bunch a madmen running with a ball.football has alot more to it if you understood it.

  • Rugby is like soccer, there no gameplan just skinny little white dudes running after a ball. NFL has better physical athletes.

  • Wanker,just as a quick eg: Simon Shaw 6ft9ins 19stone really small and skinny and thats without any gay padding, horrah we win!

  • I gotta agree.

  • WTF.. Christian Slater?? Thats so random that he is there to promote this

  • he is living in London at the moment while doing theatre work there.

  • holy S! Thats insane!

  • Congrads to the guys @ Artem on the 8m man looks sweet.

  • sweet..... i hope they let the robot play, we need all the help we can get right now

  • ha, all the help in the world couldn't help us (the dolphins) be a decent squad in five years. I'm from, live in miami and have never seen a worse team than this one.
