Arsenal visit hints at closer ties between soccer club and NFL's Rams

The newly minted Los Angeles Rams and London’s Arsenal soccer club have a lot in common.

Both are iconic franchises, both play a sport their fans call football and neither has won a title in a long time. They even share an owner in Stan Kroenke, the reclusive real estate developer whose family also owns teams in the NHL, NBA and Major League Soccer.

So with Arsenal in Southern California to play Mexico’s Chivas of Guadalajara on Sunday at the StubHub Center (FS1, Univision Deportes, 6 p.m.) and the Rams scheduled to play an October game in London, you’d think the two would be finding ways to work together.
