But did you see the way the ball was bouncing off the grass? This pitch :hhh:

should still have scored tho

That's a carpet compared to the old Old Trafford pitch of the 90's, Chelsea's pitch in the 00's and the classic beat up San Siro pitch.

shyt that's is still better to play on than a Div 2 pitch.

Mendy was very poor today also lucky he didn’t get a red for that punch he threw. Laporte doesn’t get the publicity but quietly he’s playing like one of the best CB in the world.

Begiristain better cut Raheem that check:birdman:

Do londoners even care about American football like that :mjlol:

NFL London 2018: Record Wembley crowd shows sport's growing popularity in the UK
All three of Wembley's NFL matches this year have been sold out, with extra seating added to increase the attendance

UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood believes the record crowd for Sunday’s game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles proves interest in the sport is only growing in the UK.

The Eagles’ 24-18 victory was the 24th NFL game to be staged in London since 2008, and the third to be played at Wembley in as many weeks.

All three of this year’s games – staged on consecutive weekends – sold out, and Sunday’s contest attracted a crowd of 85,870 after organisers were able to open up two additional rows of seating in the lower bowl after reviewing lines of sight.

“The fact that we did triple back-to-back games for the first time, and also had the challenge of selling our first game very quickly because that game was supposed to be played at the new Spurs stadium, means that fan support continues to be incredibly strong,” Kirkwood said.

That gives us a really good platform going forward and the popularity of the sport seems to be going from strength to strength.

“The demand has been crazy and it gives us a lot of confidence going forward that they will continue to support us.”


The first game of this year’s slate, between the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders, had been due to be played at Tottenham’s new ground but delays in construction saw it moved to Wembley at late notice, and it was listed as a sell-out with 84,922 in attendance.

Earlier this month NFL executive vice-president Mark Waller said London was still on schedule to be capable of hosting a franchise full-time from 2022 – and pointed to these sold-out games as further evidence.

:ehh:

Mendy threw a punch? Had to watch the game in pieces since I was at work. He was shyt defensively tho, he's very inconsistent there. He did great against Salah the other day tho.

But yeah Laporte has been balling out, Deschamps is a fool if he keeps ignoring him.

You've been to one before?

How many do you think are coming over from other countries in Europe?

Never been.

I would say a couple of thousand from elsewhere in Europe. Remember Germany have a history of gridiron going back to the World League and then NFL Europe as well. Germany, UK and Spain have the biggest fan bases in Europe.
