[disneygeek12]

Oh my Gawd! The stadium is PACKED OUT!

[NEW4TERROR]

Wow London blitz are amazing

Does anyone know any clubs that play American football. I live in London and 16 years old it's hard to find clubs like these since the common sport in England are football

[Thrawn6211]

I'm glad to see American football being recognized internationally, especially in places, such as German and England, where Rugby and Football are more prevalent.

[greatestfb18]

Dayum look at the crowd, so many fans cheering! lol

[Okthunder42]

now are these paid players? or is it just semi-pro?

[matman1813sdc]

[ajre82]

[coppertweed]

[wobblecam]

My son plays for the London Blitz. I am too old to play anymore (I used to play) so not being good enough to be a coach I film the games.

[SillentReflex]

ur a london blitz fan? and btw I play crusaders ^^

[Bangersandmashuk]

anyone else notice that after the interception at 4.23, no.76 realises pretty quickly hes not going to catch the cornerback so takes his frustration out on 44

[Epimpin101]

I heard a rumor that in 6 years there might be an NFL franchise in London, that would be pretty cool.

[AirsoftUK2010]

I'm a 12 year old kid who plays football in the uk I love the game but I also love American football but wear I live no one likes the game I really want to play! :(

[jackobendo1]

@AirsoftUK2010 you're too young to play, youth is like 14 to 16 and junior is 16 to 19. where bouts do you live. I have to travel on the train to play ball, it's worth it though

[kemosabe73]

@AirsoftUK2010 Just keep it up I know it's not much as popular there but do it because you love to love the game! maybe someday you'll never know you might be the next house held name on American Football! you'll never know right!

[Kmagnus80]

nice pick-up at around 0:59

[DarthSchwartz]

[TheAcousticDaze]

@DarthSchwartz no we dont only nfl games, wish we did GO OHIO STATE

[TimoFSteel]

@DarthSchwartz college or canadian? if you order espn america you can watch college but no canadian football

[SD78]

This is the premier Gridiron event in the country the NFL claims is a hotbed of the sport.

There is virtually NO-ONE in the crowd.

LOL!

[TimoFSteel]

@SD78 i went this year and it wasnt bad. probz 700 people there but tbf most people go because they are family members of the players. This video is why i want to go to usa

[Zeck180]

Heres a league where Detroit could actually do good in.

[ajre82]

empty seats...tsk tsk england

[ToxicKlay]

For a country that loves to whine about "it's handegg not football" they sure do know how to play it. I love watching these videos.

[Zenoneq89]

That blocked punt was so nice ! :D

[iron1215]

I really like the enthusiasm.

[Eurozoner10]

Nice catch at 4:14.

[JWAMidlands]

JET FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!

[lancewwu]

This is awesome! Cool to see you guys playing American Football on the other side of the pond. How many were in attendance at this game?

[JWAMidlands]

[wobblecam]

@JWAMidlands

[matador5135]

I have to admit, I'm surprised to find that they play american football outside the US, specially in the UK. What level is this? College or actual profesional league?

[wobblecam]

Everyone involved in the UK would love to have a Professional League for the sport they love, however, the game can currently only support an Amateur League. A lot of the players are ex UK college (university), where there is a well run and continually expanding league or otherwise just people that wanted to get involved. The game cotinues to grow in the UK and the NFL games at Wembley certainly help to raise the profile.

[NewWowHobbs]

the profesional league here in the UK is like college league in the US

[Eurozoner10]

Hi. I'm a rookie player and am quite pleased that there's an amateur level league here in the UK. As I was able to go along to the nearest team and train with them without being told I'm not a 'superstar'. So it's all good. I was also surprised to see that there are actually what seem like organised leagues in several Euro countries such as Germany, Spain, France, Austria etc, as well as several Scandinavian Countries. I also know there are leagues in South Korea and Japan. It's all good ;-p

[amd12345678901000]

@matador5135 yes..they play american football in europe..it's called EFL...check it out it's WIKI....i was also surprised when i found out...and some people just hate america for havin NFL...!!

[BrandonCox56]

There are several countries where american football is played. It's pretty popular in Japan, they have crowds in the 10,000s to their annual Rice Bowl which matches their Semi-Pro champ with their college champ. They also have done very well in the IFAF world cup, placing in the top 3 in every cup. They got bronze this past year, beating Mexico 17-14 in the 3rd place game and came very close to beating 2nd place Canada in the group stages. It's cool seeing the sport thrive in other countries.
