WEMBLEY, London -- The British government wants it, Tottenham are building their new stadium to accommodate it, but do NFL fans in the UK actually want a franchise based on these shores?The NFLs International Series is now into its 10th year, with the Jacksonville Jaguars narrow victory over the Indianapolis Colts providing the first of three rounds of entertainment for football fans in London.A huge attendance of 83,764 and queues of over an hour for the merchandise tent on Sunday suggest the Wembley faithful is hungry for the NFL, and figures within the league are understood to be keen one day to place a first overseas franchise in Britain.The Jaguars have been mooted as the team most likely to relocate across the pond, but fans outside Wembley who spoke to ESPN cautioned they would not simply swallow any franchise thrust upon them.The Jaguars are sort of Londons adopted team, so Im in a Jags shirt, but if it was the Cowboys playing Id be supporting them, Tom Bentley, from Staffordshire, told ESPN. Youve got to show some Jaguar love when theyre over here though.Basing a franchise here is a lovely idea, but the problem is longevity. You have to have players coming from the home country to support a team. The college system would potentially need to be set up over here, or else well just have loads of Americans coming over here to play for an English side.Those were sentiments echoed by Toms friend Steve Baldwin, a 27-year-old who divides his time between following the Miami Dolphins and non-league soccer side Hednesford Town.It would be difficult [to support a London team], Steve said. Ive supported the Dolphins for eight years, to just abandon that and support a new London franchise would be hard to change allegiances. If the Dolphins were to move it would be easier, but Id be happy to come a see a game or two.Regardless of whether or not the Jaguars would be Londoners team of choice should the franchise move across the Atlantic, quarterback Blake Bortles insisted he felt the passion from the British fans as he guided his side to their first victory of the season.The 24-year-old even celebrated his second-quarter touchdown by punting the ball into the crowd -- a move he said signaled his enthusiasm for the game at Wembley.It does [sound like a home game], Bortles told a media conference. When you run out here and see all the flags waving, all the jerseys, its exciting. I really enjoy playing here, the atmospheres unbelievable and its a super-cool stadium.I heard [the punt] didnt even make it to the stands, but I was trying to give a fan from London an American football. Theyve probably never seen one or held one, so I wanted to give someone the experience.As Bortles noted, one of the quirks of the NFLs International Series in London is the sheer variety of fans that turn up to each game. The journey across London to Wembley is made amid a sea of different jerseys, with the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers featuring just as prominently on Sunday as the Jaguars and Colts.Portsmouth resident Adam Charlton told ESPN he would follow a London franchise if one were to arrive, but admitted they would be unlikely to replace the Patriots as his team of choice.Im a big Patriots fan, he said. Have been since the Eagles Super Bowl [in 2005]. Id have a London team as my second team, but Id probably still support the Pats even if there was a franchise over here.I support [soccer club] Charlton Athletic for my sins, and Im a big London Irish [rugby union club] fan. All my teams lose apart from the Pats.Wembley for the NFL is more of an event than anything else. The tickets come out in January, weve been planning this as a yearly event. Its always something to look forward to. Weve been coming for five years, but Ive done about eight or nine games.This year the NFL will branch out of the home of soccer at Wembley to English rugbys HQ at Twickenham. Wembley has committed to hosting games until at least 2020, while Tottenhams new home will stage two matches a season between 2018 and 2027.Fans in the official tailgate zone outside Wembley were clearly hungry for more football, and ESPN spoke to groups from Germany and Switzerland who had flown over to London just to see the Jaguars take on the Colts.There is more nuance to the issue than to say simply that British, or even European fans, will be happy with whatever fare is thrown their way. But there was a growing sense that the spectacle of the NFL is something more special than anything traditional British sports -- such as soccer and rugby -- can offer up.For this game to work, for people to play it in schools, you need to have more English players in the league, Tom Bentley added. That needs to be addressed first.I support [soccer side] Aston Villa. As a day out, the NFL is much more enjoyable than soccer. Youre paying about ￡50 to sit at Wembley, the national stadium, with everyone just having a good time. Im not too bothered who wins. When you go to soccer, its nowhere near anything like this.

Mahela Jayawardene wondered on Twitter whether previous Australia captains would have left a tour early, as Steven Smith has done. Graeme Smith has echoed those sentiments publicly. Angelo Mathews was typically diplomatic, but as he prepares to play a side led by David Warner now, even he admits to being perplexed.I think they have their own player management system, but honestly, if it was me, I wouldnt have [left], because its a tough tour, Mathews said. You need the captain alongside the playing XI. They decided to rest him - well, I dont think we as players have any issues with that.Smiths own team-mates have - not surprisingly - been more understanding of his departure, despite the ODI series still hanging in the balance. Warner said regular breaks for players were required because of crickets hectic modern schedules. Smith had also been leading Australia across all formats, taking over the ODI team after last years World Cup, and the Test and T20 sides since.I can feel for Steve and the amount of cricket he has been playing, Warner said. It is going to very, very tough with the scheduling these days to play all three forms and every single game possible. Players are getting rested here and there. Everyone has to adapt, and weve got [to remember] that everyone is human.While Warner attempts to fill the gap in leadership that Smith has left behind, Australia will also need to replace the man who has been ODI crickets most prolific run-scorer over the past year. Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh are in line to step into the XI.ddddddddddddWarner suggested Smiths output makes a break from cricket particularly well-deserved.The stats he has on the board, runs-wise and the worlds best batter and player, I think he deserves a break whether or not it was during the series or before the series.There were times there when I may have been leaning towards having a break and then you have a bit of misfortune by getting injured and that has sort of been my freshen-up. [Warner broke a finger while fielding in June, and missed the end of the tri-series in the West Indies.]Warner is set to become Australias 23rd ODI captain, and said it had not been in his wildest dreams to lead the side. I feel honoured and thrilled, he said. Im really pumped to get out there, help the guys and lead from the front.Though he has never led a national side, Warner has had captaincy success in the IPL, leading Sunrisers Hyderabad to this years title. Allrounder James Faulkner, who plays for the Gujarat Lions IPL franchise, suggested that experience would assist Warners captaincy at the international level.Davids got lot of experience in all three formats - in IPL and BBL as well, Faulkner said. I know one thing - that he is pretty honest, and hes going to back each and every one of us. Much as the same with Smithy - very good leaders. They let their presence be felt in the middle. Im sure David will fill the position really well. ' ' '
