Super Bowl?! More like the Toilet Bowl!! terrible terrible matchup considering the pats blanked the titans which i thin are probably better than the bucs 59-0!! I hate the Patriots so I'm rooting for the Bucs but I don't have very high hopes.

Yeah ok, so the match-up is not that great, but as enthusiastic fans of the NFL, this is the only way that we get to see the teams in person and experience the NFL live, including tailgating. To be honest the match up is not great for a close game, this one ain't going to overtime, but we will hopefully get to see Tom Brady and Randy Moss and Laurence Maroney making plays, so from that perspective it will be very exciting, we don't see too many long-bomb touchdowns over here.

Why in the hell are you people so excited about this terrible matchup? New England is an above average team this year and Tampa Bay is probably the worst team in the NFL. It makes as much sense sending Chelsea and Portsmouth to play a Soccer game in New York City. No one here would care! You Brits are funny!

[NFLreviewUK]

We're excited because it is the only opportunity most British people get to see American Football live, in person. The match-up is not that amazing, unless you enjoy watching some spectacular plays , like we do (Brady to Moss x10).

Sending Chelsea and Pompey over would not be exciting, your right, but some fans would go, a minority yes, like the minority from Europe who are going to Wembley, but they go to get a glipse of how the Premier League runs, like we do with the NFL.

[NFLreviewUK]

Also, the NFL are not going to send over an amazing game are they? The fans in the US would get pissed off, understandably, if the Patriots played the Colts at Wembley. Now THAT would be a great game, but it is not going to happen, so we make the most of what we get and enjoy it for te experience of going to watch an NFL game once a year. The Premier League would not dare send Chelsea and Man U anywhere but th UK to play because there would be a fan uprising. You cannot upset your core fans :')

Well, they filled Wembley properly this year, the event was massively over subscribed and tickets sold out in 6 minutes, that's 4 minutes faster than Led Zepplin's last gig.

YOU don't have to adopt any sport, it is the wonder of democracy, but hundreds of thousands of Brits already have.

Part of the reason why the NFL and FIFA can promote all over the world is because they have money and support all over the globe, that is why they play in big stadiums rather than shitty little fields.

@ManlnCognito you are such a liar

[richard1972r]

Great video, you guys. Glad you're having fun with our game. Hopefully that dream match of Pats vs Colts you mentioned will be a reality overthere in a near future.

Greetings from Florida, USA.

I'm American and I'm glad to see you guys enjoying this great game. Keep it up. Hopefully you guys can come here one day; experiencing a real Superbowl

[ManlnCognito]

This game was my first American football game...and my last. I only went out of curiously but left before the end.

NFL = boring waste of time..I'll stick to rugby and real football.

i'm glad that you brits actually know american football (: usually you guys all jump on americans saying its a dumbass game and soccer (football) is better. i guess you just have to experience the sport first

[rawisericho]

Great video. It's good see some Brits with a nice understanding of the game.

[jakekn13]

Let's all stop being idiots and have respect for other sports that we are unfamiliar with. Being from America, I thought this was an outstanding video. Nice job.
