well, REAL football is much more popular around the world, so I would not think so.

hmm, did not know there was such a league than NFL Europe. On a quick look at the link you provided, I am quessing it is a try at a European League.

Anyways it is not what I meant. When the national teams play some sort of European Champion tournament. Over the years Finland has won it a few times :]

Oh, I do know there is some sort of league of American Football here in Finland too. I believe it is called Vaahteraliiga which means Maple Leaf League. :rolleyes:
I remember hearing that one team would be named Colts :uhh:

hmm, sorry I cannot be more spesific.
