Gridiron is going to continue to grow in terms of world recognition, but I doubt you will see other countries start playing anytime soon. Unfortunately that also will forever limit rugby from being properly included into the American sports scene.
Ice hockey has a strong international foundation, the two main problems are that only a handful of countries can play (weather) and they don't have a marquee event, like the World Cup.
I'd love to see Team Handball become more popular, but I think it's current format isn't visually appealing enough. I was at the gold medal game at the Olympics and it was fun, but I feel like the whole sport could use a facelift to make it faster or make the court/uniforms look more interesting.
