| SamuelRSmith said: I couldn't be happier, tbh. If expansion went well enough in the UK, and we started getting professional teams who played in the world series - with teams from NA and the UK frequently crossing the pond to play each other, it could only help improve relations between us. We Brits have yet to find a common sport with the USA, would be nice to finally have one. As an aside, I now play Lacrosse for my University, which is the fastest growing sport at college level in the UK. TWO common sports? The possibilities are endless... |
Yeah, would be nice to see more international sports. I really liked the World Cup this year, as well as the Olympic hockey match (I don't think I've ever watched a hockey game all the way through until the Canadian v. US game which was probably one of my top 3 best sporting events I've ever watched).
It'd be nice to see America and the UK end the season competing against eachother for as many marbles as possible. I think that by having Europe develop its American sports, it'll give a great flavor to what we do, and as you said, build up relations. We can have a lot of fun rooting for and against each other. After all, we'll both be rooting for the team playing against the French :-p
BTW, Lacrosse is epic. Our local university (Ohio State) sets records each year for its match in April. They set the football spring practice on the same day as the lacrosse match, and give everyone 2-for-1 tickets. This year, they had over 30,000 people watching our lacrosse team 
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
