| Sounds like manufactured hype to sell tickets. Londoners think American football is pantywaist rugby. |

Man I would love to see that game. Im from Ireland and I like American football. I also like rugby.
They aren't really comparable sports in anything but the most superficial way. Its like comparing snooker to pool. Whats the point.
I can understand comparing Union to league or NFL to CFL.
You really don't know anything about either game if you think a comparison is worthwhile or valid. |

During the superbowl they (the British Sky TV commentators - including Don Johnson!!!) announced that over 100,000 requests had already been received for that game. The stadium, in its' American football configuration, will seat 90,000.
Go Giants! |

Since I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not(I can't tell unless I can see you) I'm not going to list the many many differences. The balls aren't even the same shape. Ok I listed one. |

Ah, cool Ill be aware in future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was fun. Its kinda like the opposite of real life where sarcasm would be the opposite of an exclamation mark. Very downplayed normally. After all its not supposed to be obvious. |

Pretty impressive for a country who loves the futbol. Maybe they are like all those guys who say they hate boy bands but secretly own Nsync's last album.....  |
So what you're saying is England is to football like Ted Haggard is to crack rocks and hard caulk? |
