I love how the NFL says World Champions when zero other countries play.
The NFL easily gets the most talented football players from around the world to play in the league, so there is no real competition for the world title.
Most of the foreigners good enough to play are kickers, from Garo Yepremian (Armenian) to Jan Stenerud (Norway) to Sebastian Janikowski (Polish). Non-kickers include the great Bronko Nagurski (Canadian) and Osi Umenyiora (Nigerian edge rusher). Hines Ward and Ted Hendricks were born in South Korea and Guatemala, but I suspect they are ethnically American.
Football requires talent and training and coaching. While worldwide the talent might exist, the football-specific training and coaching certainly does not. The champion football team of the world is the Kansas City Chiefs.
