NFL commissioner Roger Goodell joined CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Friday morning and talked about the league’s international games for next season.

“I think at least seven is where we focus right now,” Goodell told CNBC. “We are definitely coming back to Spain or going to Spain for the first time. We’ll be back in Germany. We’ll be back in the U.K. We hope to be back in Mexico. And we certainly intend to be back here in Brazil.”

The NFL’s first game in Brazil is Friday night when the Eagles take on the Packers. Could we one day see a game in South Korea, too?

Perhaps, because there was a Korean broadcast of the Chiefs’ 27-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Thursday night’s NFL Kickoff Game.

Jun Hong Kim, a Chiefs fan from Seoul, shared a video of rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s 21-yard touchdown run in the first quarter at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. This was an epic call of Worthy’s electric touchdown.
