American football just isn't a thing in any other country I've visited. If you want to follow and become a fan of a team, It's going to be soccer, maybe baseball in the Caribbean.
There are other sports that are televised in various countries, but for pure fan passion, it's local futbol all the way.
You know what it's like at the "Irish Pub" during the world cup, when everyone packs in and you can't help but yell your head off for a goal scored by someone you've never heard of? That's what you get for a random Boca Juniors match in Buenos Aires. It's absolutely infectious.
What countries have you visited? American football is gaining popularity in a lot of other countries, especially the UK.
Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Japan, India - all have American football leagues
I don't know anyone here in the UK who watches any American Football except a couple of folks who watch the super bowl.
It's way too slow for one thing, everyone spends all their time standing around. Having something like football or rugby where it's constant game for the entire match, excluding 1/2 time break, you can have international rivalry, make both are more interesting to watch as well.
