Football rivalries

[Duke]

In the light of Hizzle's huggy bear thread, I decided to make this one.

So there are too many options to include a poll, but include your personal number 1 anyway. To make it a fun let's turn it into a game. First poster (me) names a rivalry and then a country. Second poster names a rivalry from that country and then a different country for the next poster. Specific rivalries can't be repeated, but countries obviously can.


I'll start with what some consider to be the most important match in the world:

Boca - River

Next country: Former Yugoslavia (this is an open door )

Let's see how far we can take this and how many we can think of, heh.

 

[Flipmo]

Hajduk Split - Dinamo Zagreb.

Fuck the north

Next country: Belgium

 

[Bobby Sands]

Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge

Colombia

 

[Flipmo]

Club Nacional and Independente Medelin?

Is that a big rivalry in Columbia? I recall one of my Columbian mates talking about that way back in High School.

Anyways, if I'm right...

Next country: Japan

if I'm wrong, let the beat go onnnn.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Yea they are rivals.America Cali and Deportivo Cali are big rivals as well.They hate each other.

Jubilo Iwata and Shimizu S-Pulse

Turkey.

 

[Duke]

Gala and Fener. I do NOT want to be caught between those two, hehe.

Next country:

Portugal

 

[Bobby Sands]

Benfica and Sporting Lisbon

Scotland(try not to pick the obvious one)

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Hibs and Hearts?

Brazil.

 

[Duke]

I'll go for Hibs and Hearts. Both Edinburgh.

Who knows another good Dutch rivalry (besides the obvious one)?

EDIT:

Thuggy was first...

Brazil? Hm, Flamengo and Fluminense? I know they both play at the Maracana and they're both from Rio....

Then again, half Brazil hates the other half.

I know Palmeiras fans tend to dislike Botafogo and vice versa...

EDIT 2: I remember Vasco da Gama also being from Rio! Three-way rivalry?
