    Surprised to see the Bucs coming back if it does happen, but I'd say the Bears will be a very popular choice, they seem to have a lot of fans on this side of the Atlantic.

    No biggy to the Bucs id say they barely get crowds at their games as it is.

    Bears do have a lot of fans in Europe, Bucs have fans too

    I would have liked to see the Jags, another team with not great attendance. Very surprised it's the Bucs again, I'm going to read their forums and see how they feel about giving up a home game

    Anyway, Bears @ Bucs, two good teams

    I like the sounds of this, means that the broncos may get another shot at wembley in the next year or two then, wasnt expecting us to be back for years. I'd say we're eager to redeem ourselves, both with our performance and Josh McDaniels poor handling of the event from a media point of view, where we came over on the friday and didnt involve ourselves in the spectacle very much....

    Bears play us this year too, for what it's worth.

    So much for 'every team in the NFL will have to make the trip' eh?. A team is making its second trip already!. Smell a rat or what. It will be Jax v Minnesota next year i.e. teams that do not sell out at home.

    As with all London games there is a mix of all teams supporters so that negates the home team support. Sure the first London game between the Fins and Giants i (Bears fan) was there with a Pats fan, Steelers fan and a Colts fan.

    I'd say the Pats are the most supported team this side of the Atlantic so they were always gonna be bigger than the Bucs support. I would also guess that there is a sizeable Bears support here too so they will probably be bigger than Bucs support again.
