Top 10 Jerseys in Spain
The Spanish LNFA is on the rise and with the focus now on the playoffs, this is more of a laid-back ranking paying tribute to the best uniforms in the Mediterranean country.
The 2026 regular season of the LNFA has been one of the most competitive and balanced we have ever seen. After 40 games, 29 were decided by 15 points or less, meaning 72,5% or almost 3 out every 4 games was up for grabs deep in the 4th quarter.
Even more impressive is that 16 of those 40 games ended wit

WTF is going on in Spain?!
This is the most competitive season the LNFA has seen in decades, marked by the first loss of Las Rozas Black Demons in 2 years, who has recently fell against the Osos de Rivas.
After 9 weeks and 35 games played, we are in the midst of the LNFA season. With only one regular season week left, it’s safe to say that, at least this year, the Spanish league has turned into one of the most entertaining competitions in Europe.
I'm aware that a statement of that caliber is no joke,

LNFA POWER RANKINGS (SLIGHTLY POST) MID-SEASON
1. BLACK DEMONS
Staying unbeaten through the first half of the season in a league that has shown just how balanced it is from top to bottom is no small feat. Black Demons have made it crystal clear that they are the team everyone else is chasing, and at this point it would be a real shock if they did not finish first in the conference.
2. REDS
Sitting on top of the brutal East Conference is more than enough to justify the No. 2 spot. They survived a real scare against a r

THE FIRST LNFA POWER RANKINGS OF THE YEAR
1. LG OLED BLACK DEMONS
The reigning champions sit alone atop the West Conference and remain the team everyone has to beat. Built around a strong Spanish core—largely the nucleus of the Madrid Bravos—plus a top-tier trio of running backs, they’re still the benchmark.
2. OSOS RIVAS
Paradoxically, this week’s loss to Black Demons has pushed Osos up to No. 2 in the rankings. The encouraging signs from a high-octane second half earn them this spot on merit.

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
