GFL Power Rankings
We’re hitting the middle of the German Football League (GFL) season, and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. Some teams are dominating, others are fighting for survival, and a few are still trying to figure out their identity.

1st. Dresden Monarchs
I still have Dresden as my favorite to win the whole thing… buuuut Potsdam could also be in this spot. The Monarchs are looking super solid so far — Tyler Hudson has been going absolutely insane on offense. The defense could clean some things up, but I still really like this squad.

GFL Preseason Overview
Over the past few weeks, we got to see some teams from the league go through a dress rehearsal with their new rosters — working through their playbooks and getting both experienced and inexperienced players some in-game reps to prep for the season.

We saw most of the GFL1 teams match up against some of their GFL2 counterparts and got to see some interesting things p

The man under the helmet: Diego Paz, from Spain to Foxborough in less than 5 years
Diego Paz González, one of the best DEs in Europe right now, talks about his journey from Spanish football to a tryout with the New England Patriots since his introduction to the sport in 2022
“Spain” and “NFL” are two words that usually, historically, don’t go together. That is so that in the NFL Heritage Program there is only one single player in the whole league repping the Spanish flag on his helmet, and that is Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson, whose great-grandfather, Antonio

Born on a Base: How FIDAF and Italian Football Began
Football’s Italian story starts more than a century ago, with a Thanksgiving Day game in Genoa between the crews of the USS Connecticut and the USS Kansas. It was a one-off game, and decades passed before the sport returned in any organized way: first with Allied troops, in the Bambino Bowl in Bari and the Spaghetti Bowl in Florence, the latter drawing a crowd of 25,000, both played between 1944 and 1945; then through U.S. bases that kept the game alive into the 1950s and 196

The Pioneers: NFL Europe and the League That Dared to Cross an Ocean
Long before the NFL played regular season games in London, Munich, or Madrid, it tried something far bolder: building entire professional franchises on European soil.
In July 1989, NFL owners approved the creation of the World League of American Football, a genuinely transatlantic experiment and the first time the league had ever tried to plant a professional, developmental version of itself outside North America. When the WLAF kicked off on March 23, 1991, ten teams took th
