London Nexus???

are u guys going into the nxl? i just saw london nexus, and thought nxl.

EXL. European XBall League.

[Cash Money Allstar]

oh, wow, thats the first ive heard of this, i like that...

[Robbo]

There is no EXL I'm afraid, that finished last year and was not promoted this year in Europe due to many different reasons.
I honestly think XBall is the way forward for our sport to develop, so it's a bit of a shame we can't play it but I hear there are whispers of a one off XBall tourney next year in Europe somewhere that is of a scale yet to be seen.
And yes, as far as I know, it will obviously include the top American XBall teams..we'll see what happens on that one.

[ThatGuy86]

Wow, I didn't know the EXL just fell apart like that.

[Jammasterj]

also all the pro NPPL teams have a city name tagged onto their team name for the 05

i.e san diego dynasty, d.c. arsenal, manchester shockwave etc etc

[Cash Money Allstar]

oh i didnt know that either...
no offense to nexus in anyway, because i think u guys are really good, but if they had allowed a team into the nxl and allowed them to use any city outside of the united states i would have been kinda mad. even the russian legion used an american city.

[Robbo]

Cash, I think the NPPL are trying to create a truly 'international' flavour to their league and to do that, having city names represent all the teams who play in it, will do just that.

So unlike leagues akin to the NFL where they purport to be a World Series but only have US teams, the NPPL will instantly be recognised as a true 'international' league and hopefully in some way, validate it.
That's the theory anyway :)

He knows Bolter, he's just playing on the fact that every time I go stateside the Yanks call me 'row - bo' which for some reason amused the guys on the team, hence now some of them make a point of callin me 'Robo'.....little things please little minds and on Nexus, we got a fair few of them :)
But I luv 'em all :)
