Just look back, for example, at Wembley and everyone celebrated the Americans playing an American Football game at Wembley.

Arsène Wenger has pledged his support to the Premier League’s proposals to play a round of Premier League matches abroad. To support his favour for such a move, he made reference to his days in Japan, where a fifth of matches are played at a neutral venue, and to the recent NFL game played at Wembley. However, contrary to his claim that everyone celebrated the Americans playing an American Football game at Wembley, I couldn’t have cared less. And further to that, my opinion significantly changed after that bobble Scott Carson will never forget.
No good will come out of competitive games abroad — unless fan alienation, player fatigue and putting vital games on show to rich corporate-types and sponsor employees in far-distant cities is good, of course.
Surely the Premier League rips us off enough without resorting to pointless expeditions abroad?
