I my language, we just call it "American Football". And it works pretty well since only USA plays it. The real football is just "Football" of course.
There are teams and leagues in Britain and Germany that play "American Football." They just aren't at the level of US teams yet. But they are getting better at it.
The NFL has been playing games in Britain for years now. And I think this year they played in Germany also. It's an open secret that the NFL wants a team based in Britain also. They just can't quite figure out the logistics.
Like it or not, American Football/Hand Egg is gaining popularity around the world - slowly perhaps but steadily. The NFL is coming for your "football". In any case, it's better than Cricket...........
