But surely the fact that the "World Champions of Football" in your eyes being owned by Americans goes someway to suggest that they are already?

Possession being 9/10ths of the law and all that.

I don't think anyone owns the Italian national team do they?

i have to say american football's prolly my second fave sport behind rugby league . its a hybrid between league and chess. the tactical side of the game's really intense when you get to understand it. its a sport i can watch eaisily for 4 hour and not get bored if a "soccer" match lasted that long id be ready to slit my wrists.

I can't watch a match in real time unless I've got a book or a crossword to do. It'll never go back to those fantastic days of Channel Four's highlights show on a Sunday evening.

That was back when it was American Football's turn to be the 'fastest growing sport in the UK'.

No, but I'm guessing they've got a burial site.
