[QUOTE="mdaclarke, post: 989978, member: 73361"] I don't think it will ever expand meaningfully beyond the current crop of nations. The US and Canada have Gridiron codes and the because of the complexity of the rules you need investment for expert coaching which means that a lot of poorer nations will struggle. I think the 2 areas to concentrate on are Russia and Brazil. I could see Brazil building up to be almost to the standard of Argentina and I think Russia could get to a good standard. Possibly also Uruguay and Namibia, but apart from that hold on to what we got. [/QUOTE]
