I was going to do a preview of the game, as it is going to be the first NFL game outside the US, but as 'vegy' pointed out this to me i thaught a geography lesson would be more suitable (see map).

The NFL player might want to check a map before he gets on board a plane for Sunday's prestige game against the New York Giants at Wembley Stadium.
Crowder, who comes from Atlanta in Georgia, may be praised on the field, but confessed geography was not his strong point.
He admitted he did not know until now where London was - or that Londoners spoke English.
"I couldn't find London on a map if they didn't have the names of the countries," he said.
"I swear to God. I don't know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I learned that."
Crowder added: "I know (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him.
"That's the closest thing I know to London. He's black, so I'm sure he's not from London. I'm sure that's a coincidental name."
The Miami Dolphins are play the New York Giants at Wembley this Sunday in the first NFL regular-season game to be played outside the United States.
Channing Crowder - 'you are a fucking muppet' could be just one way someone from the 'country' of London may describe you, it's good that you may be able to understand that (if you can read that is?) as beleive it or not - the English do speak English. (who would have thauht).
