For quite a few years there Spain, Argentina, Germany, etc. were either giving us great games or beating us. And like the last post said, us against the top countries are no longer 40 point blowouts. We may pull away late and win by 20, but the games are intense until our depth takes over. As long as the International invasion of the NBA continues, I'd expect it to keep up.

But anyway, back on this topic, I'll have to agree that we'll see once the AFLC starts next year. I'll guess that on game knowledge alone the advantage goes to North America and Europe, but some of those crazy offenses being run in other parts of the game will be hard to stop.

I'm guessing in a number of seasons every league outside of the States is going to have one or two really good teams that win everything. The American leagues will be more balanced and will have a lot more good teams, but teams in other divisions will have more cash due to winning more and might be better than the American teams.

You're high! Heh
