And a couple of tunnels, although don’t tell Owen McS that.

CR;
Paris has a bit of a history of being a place where people go die.
Di, Picasso, Jim Morrison, Yassar Arafat, a Concord full of German tourists....

If a drunk driver crashes into a random lamppost above ground, killing passengers not wearing seatbelts, can that be called the Princess Diana syndrome??
I’d have thought the tunnel aspect was a sideshow.

That would probably be a fairer way of doing it HG.
But nowhere near as gladiatorial.

Only in the UK would they let a tied game be decided by a penalty shoot-out.
Wouldn't it have been less painful for all concerned to have just tossed a coin?
Except for the fact it was the English team that went through.
It might have been less painful, but nowhere near as interesting.
They could be a bit more creative though, stop so obviously copying another sport, and make it less embarrassing for forwards.
A set of attempted pushover tries from 5 metres out etc..

Since it’s such an isolated sport there’s probably more need to take it on the road.
Anyway, London’s perfect. Spoilt for choice in the Aging Rock-star department for Half Time Entertainment.

But soccer is big in Asia
In recent years, yes. That’s not a coincidence either.

If the NFL just bunkers itself down in the US nothing will ever change.
And you can’t expect TV update to grow in just 2 years. These things take time, and it’s not as if it’s a sport that will appeal instantly.
Basketball is a world sport. Has been for years.

Hadyn,
Why do Man U play warm-up games in Asia every season?

But the TV interest for the superbowl is strongest in the US. Sure, it'll get watched in a bunch of places around the world. But why would you shift timezones away from your primary base? I don't see how TV benefits.
OK then, TV interest outside the US.
By staging games elsewhere you generate interest in that country and they’re more likely to watch not only the dislocated match, but other games too.
Europe is far more likely to get in behind this competition if they feel they’re a small part of it.
