SantanaMan -- While the prospect of losing a home game isn't something I want. I'm worried about traveling and traveling time. I want football to become more of a universal sport, but I don't think one game a year in Europe would do that. I feel you must start by bringing youth football into select European countries. Germany seems to really embrace it.

I know a lot of people, including myself came off as it being a "we don't want to share" type of attitude. But I feel that's a bit off. It's more a we don't want to dillute the quality of the game by having teams travel a ton, giving them less time to prepare, and home games are nice for not only us fans, but for the players.
