Since the world is getting smaller (travel wise) I would say that in the not too distant future, this may become a reality. If I am not mistaken, London was host to a preseason game several years ago and it was a big success. I think that since England had teams in NFL Europe and the WFL before that, a lot of British people already have a good understanding of the game. The stadiums are also in place there, since a soccer pitch and American football field are pretty much the same. Possible names for the franchise could be the London Monarchs (probably wouldn't go over well with the Royal family though), London Knights (my favorite), or even the London Wizards. As always though, it will all boil down to money. Who puts it up and guarantees and such. Something to dream about any way!
