Pittsburgh (AFP) - The National Football League will play regular-season games in Germany and Mexico within five years if Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II has his way.

Rooney, among the owners on the NFL's International Committee, said in a posting on the team's website that he thinks the expansion of the league's global exposure will come by 2020.

"If I had to put a timetable on it, I would be disappointed if we don't have games in those two countries within the next five years," Rooney said.
