Biggest Footballing Rivaly - Celtic v Rangers

Major football rivalries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TBH I think were the best footballing rivalry with over 120 years rivalry but on forums on the net people r saying that its either

Boca v River Plate
or
Liverpool v Manchester Utd (lol)

opinions needed!

 

lol liverpool man utd aye right! boca v plate is feirce id put that before the OF

 

Liverpool Man U?

* off!

Thats only developed in recent history and doesn't come near the history and politics of ours.

Boca V River Plate I would say probably just ousts us, its incredible.

 

Nowadays the Sicilian derby <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Palermo</st1:City> v <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Catania</st1lace></st1:City> is full of hate<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

liverpool man u, thats engilish people being up themsleves as usual, thr old form is a rivalry built on more than football.

 

boca river plate the only one i'd put before the old firm . manu liverpool don't make me laugh

 

most club rivalries stem from being local to each other, or constantly competing for the same trophies, or they might represent two sides of a relgious or political divide.

we manage to have all three!!

the manchester derby has got interesting now they`re both as stupidly rich as each other lol, *.

boca and river plate is world famous for being mental, though they dont have the same strict policing and seated stadiums we`re forced to sit in when watching games.

 

to be honest i can't really say that we are the biggest in the world because i'm biased when it comes to that.

english fans are the ones that have put manu/liverpool up there.

outside of us boca juniors/river plate and real madrid/barca are the ones that spring to mind.

 

Dortmund v Schalke 04. Watch this: EIN LEBEN LANG KEINE SCHALE IN DER HAND + FLUGZEUG MIT BANNER Video - legolars512 - MyVideo Schweiz

Dortmund fans celebrating Schalke's 50-year-run without a trophy - they're singing "all your life without a trophy in your hands". As you can see, Dortmund even hired a plane with a banner to fly over Schalke's stadium.

 

id prolly put it

1.river plate vs bocas
2. glatasaray vs fenerbahce
3. OF

 

There are a few more:

Lazio - Roma
Panathinaikos - Olympiakos

and of course Real Madrid - Barcelona (even though that's not a local derby)

 

millwall v west ham

 

One for the St. Pauli supporters: Isn't St. Pauli v. Hansa Rostock also a big rivalry?

 

boca vs river plate is the biggest rivalry with the old firm a close second i would say , alot of the brazilian one's get nasty aswell e.g palmeiras vs corinthians

 

River Plate v Boca fisrt the closely followed by us and the scum.

 

That was certainly the case in the past, cos there was a substantial far-right racist element in the Hansa support. But in fairness, the club itself made what seemed a genuine effort to make them unwelcome ( i.e. not a half-hearted load of pish like Pride Before Prejudice - which eventually had to have it's name changed to Follow With Pride cos so many of the Huns objected to the word "Prejudice" - i.e. their anti-prejudice campaign failed cos it mentioned opposing prejudice )

There is still a rivalry (they had an immense game earlier this year http://www.bundesligatalk.com/the-political-derby-radical-left-3-2-hard-right/323) but I'd say HSV are seen as the main enemy.

 

It has to be Fenerbahçe vs Galatasaray its just epic

 

Boca v River plate i would have tosay is the most mental one around & the Old Firm in cose 2nd ! But also in Germany there are allot of Derbys for instance Cologne v Monschen Gladbach ! They draft an extra 2000 police in for that game allone ! The Germans can go mental sometimes !

Can't wait for Hamburg

Hail Hail

 

There's also a big rivalry between Rapid and Austria Vienna, even though this is not so well known outside our country.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

We've done that at Ibrox; when we were banned from the stadium.
