Having PL games abroad is criminal who cares what other people are doing everyone's watching us regardless NFL have to do games abroad for brand awareness because hardly anyone watches it outside of the states, we got all eyes on us.

League Cup 3rd round games?

[@Chitapool-cr2ii]

Travelled around the World and met several Fans of various English Football Clubs. They all, without exception had the dream of travelling to the UK to watch a home game at Anfield, Old Trafford and may other Grounds, and one who dreamt of going to as many Grounds as he could watching his Team play. They all wanted their once in their lifetime "pilgrimage". None of them cared about their team playing in their own backyard, in an Athletics Stadium filled with "Soccer" Fans. Money...the rabid obsession with it,will be the downfall of the PL.

[@derangedwowed]

Even suggesting this is disgusting, I need to take a shower

[@dananderson6342]

As a British NFL fan the games in London have always been unpopular with the fans of the participating teams and the teams themselves, I'd personally much prefer to go and watch a game over there and have an authentic experience rather than watch the annual NFL pop-up shop at Tottenham or Wembley with a dead atmosphere

[@jakehowie442]

Tottenham too…reason is NFL is trying to expand game to global audiences…English premier league already has a global audience Also NFL is pretty in the US, fat Americans eating hotdogs, nachos and drinking beer without watching the game. Goldstein was right. Only Kansas seems to have passionate fan base and Oakland back in the day

[@Delta1305]

Anyone involved in football even humouring this idea deserves to be nowhere near the sport. Bent has definitely been told to be in favour of it so this can even be a conversation because i refuse to believe he is stupid enough to genuinely support it.

So only fans in England game? How dumb does that sound? Do the players only get paid from revenue collected in England? Of course not let’s not be dumb and understand if you have a global game it makes sense to attempt to tailor to ALL of your fans not just the ones who think they have Devine right to the game because they were born in a particular location.

The Americans keep moving games to different countries to try and grow the very American centred games globally. Football is already a global game and doesn't need that same strategy for Global growth. La Liga trying it in a desperate bit to catch up their global audience to the English game. Keep the English games in England.

[@NickChemist-yf6oj]

As a Canadian let’s just get a few friendlies here . All the friendlies in the states or Asia . No way any regular season ( meaningful games ) should be played outside of England though

[@BallJuiceOfZeus]

Im from England and moved to Canada 28 years ago. Even in this part of north america anyone i would mention football too which they call "soccer" would call it a certain three letter word that starts with g and ends in y. Sure, there are some north americans that love the sport but its very few and far between. Keep football in countries that actually live the sport. Let people from north america watch men play throw and catch while wearing tights, shoulder pads and helmets while slapping eachothers bums every 5 seconds because thats super manly 😂

[@kaypakaipa8559]

Thank u, i grew up Luton but now live in toronto, people dont care anout football here, i recently graduated, alll those so called fans who wear Man Utd and Arsenal jerseys have ZERO idea when their teams are even playing and could barely name 5players on their team!

When i watch El Classico, i expect it to be played in Spain unless its a Champions league tie

[@baggers123]

American sports mix their fans around the grounds. Liverpool v UTD in New York would have Liverpool fans sitting with UTD fans. No atmosphere at all doing that. No recognized English crowd chants for your team

Spanish super cups in Saudi, no NFL games in Europe, no Prem games in the US or anywhere else, no We love watching in the early mornings at pubs, we dream of making it over to our clubs stadium in Europe. It’s equivalent to a pilgrimage for us, and for many others across the world. Tv execs, bankers, and lawyers are killing this sport that we all love.

Not everyone will have the funds to go over to the UK to make that dream come true.

[@_SIRENITY_]

What club wants to give up a home game for risk of points and possible trophy with extra mileage at the end of the season or beginning?

Wouldn’t want this to happen but Community/Charity shield is the only game I could realistically be okay with being played abroad. It’s a season opener, it’s a competitive game but not a league game and it’s played at a neutral ground. It’s the most suitable game to host abroad. The FA will most likely rebrand it as ‘The FA Super Shield/Cup’, maybe change the format like Spain, having two semi-finals and a final between the winner and runners up of the league and cup or the previous seasons Prem top 4 and market it all over USA.

I still sit next to my grandad (and dad) at the Etihad with our season tickets. I welcome any City fans around the world, and any American blues are blues so definitely will be welcomed in Manchester. But our identity is tied to the City of Manchester. The thing we have over United is we’ve always played in the city boundaries and they play just outside! We cannot move home games abroad, it’d be horrific and kill the whole thing for me. It was bizarre enough in 2008 having to play a competitive game in the Europa League qualifier, at Barnsley’s ground, because there was a problem at the Etihad hosting the game.

As an American, my personal opinion is I would rather not see PL matches played in the USA. Community Shield, fine, because it's an exhibition match. But league games a largely made special by the environment created in the grounds, and you can feel it even on TV. However, the notion that there are no proper fans in America is just absurd. We have to wake up at 5 in the morning to watch matches on the weekends and will travel across the country to see our teams play once in a preseason game. So the idea that people in the US don't understand the game and love it is patently false.

Behave lad. I lived in States for 10 years. Yanks are boring asf

US teams need to travel overseas as they don’t have as big a following overseas as the premier league. The premier league already has a global following at scale.

[@stuartwilson1190]

So the New York yankees aren’t a bigger name than any premier league club

[@rumoursofwar4624]

Dunno. What I do know is that hardly anyone in Europe watches them. Base ball is a niche over here.

Imagine the manchester derby in kentucky, terrible idea

[@Gilly9244]

Footy doesn’t need to grow in other countries such as NFL and baseball. So Benty your point doesn’t stand up

[@Jaml1986]

The NFL all sit together imagine that in the uk 😂

[@lucashill1547]

Surely it would mean because I'm presuming they will want the big games to come to them like arsenal Vs Chelsea Liverpool Vs man united etc So would this mean and reduction in season tickets prices as they are the ones loosing out

Frazzles are amazing and it's 100% been a thing here since I was a kid

[@redsagan7188]

What about the jeopardy? We can’t have games abroad.

I can only see it working in August. College Football and the NFL won't start unitl Sept, so the largest stadiums are available. I can't see it working any other time of the season due to all the potential cup fixtures, both domestic and European. I hate the idea of stealing a home match from people. I'm happy watching on my couch every weekend mornings here in the States

Imagine the half time show??? Daaaaaaamn
