The NFL is back in London for the seventh international game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we'll have all the build-up right here.

NFL back in London

The flags are out on Regent Street as the NFL gets ready for the biggest street party held in the UK. Regent Street has already been decked out and on Saturday it will be a traffic-free zone for NFL fans to wander and join in the party with live music and interactive exhibitions to get everybody in the mood for the big game. Even the players from the two teams will be out and about, while the Vikings cheerleaders and Skol drummers will be performing for fans to ramp up the excitement for Sunday's big game.

Viking Invasion

The Vikings arrived nice and early in London, and they wasted no time in heading straight to Wembley Stadium to give a workshop for local kids as they look to spread the word of American Football. The NFL's Play 60 scheme is all about getting kids involved in sport of any variety, but the local youngsters were keen to try out their throwing arms and were delighted to see some real live NFL players in person.

Long journey

It's been a long trip over, but the Vikings are enjoying their time in London, as are the travelling media who have come over to report on their team's big adventure in the UK. We caught with Vikings beat writer Brian Murphy who had loved his early impressions of London and talked over some team issues, mainly surrounding quarterback Christian Ponder.
