Red Sox never win, so Yankees.
So many great sporting rivalries. Im biased but here is my top 5.
1. "Ashes" cricket, Australia vs England.
2. "State of Origin" Rugby League, New South Wales vs Queensland.
3. Bledisloe Cup Rugby, Australia vs New Zealand
4. England vs Argentina, Soccer.
5. Rangers vs Celtic / Inter vs AC Milan / Man U vs Chelsea

Fixed :D

There are far bigger rivalries in sport than Red Sox/Yankees, but for the sake of the thread, I'll go with Yankees. Red Sox are only just beginning to even the playing field.

Who doesn't love a good ole soccer riot?

soccer riots are some of the best fights at sports. Bench clearing baseball fights and hockey fights don't even come close to soccer riots. I can't think of any other sport that has the types of fights at them that soccer games do. Rugby might but i'm not really sure because I don't watch it alot.

im suprised some of you even know what the rugby codes are let alone afl. Finnaly got bored of watchin a lil girls sport in nfl?

i actualy think NSW will beat QLD, no lockyer is huge and i believe we have a better foward pack and thats what will decide the game, plus our backline is serverly unerated Gas used to be he golden boy and cooper has great defence an brett stewart is severly underated

btw 1. rugby union
2. rugby league
3. afl

The only other sport where I have seen the riot spill into the street is hockey and that's only when a Canadian team either wins or loses a big game.

I don't know who said it, but they mentioned US fans not liking soccer, and I couldn't agree more. Soccer is such a great sport, and there's so many americans that don't like it, probably because the US doesn't dominate it.

I grew up in Texas where football is king but my favorite sport is actually lacrosse but I love soccer as well. I really think the World Cup is one the absolute best tournaments in the world. I got to go see the Brazil-Netherlands quarterfinal game in 1994 in Dallas and it was one of the best sporting events I've ever been to. 3-2 Brazil back when Bebeto and Romario were two of the best forwards and connected on a sweet one touch goal. The last World Cup killed me as the U.S. did so poorly- :sad01: - oh well at least we tied the champs.

I don't blame you. It's weird though because the younger national teams all play a different style then what the national team plays.

In North America maybe, but in the world?? I think not. When it comes to rivalries, football (soccer) has it down to a fine art. Hear are the top rivalries that I can think of.

English/Scottish

Man Utd Vs Liverpool
Man Utd Vs Arsenal
Arsenal Vs Spurs
Celtic Vs Rangers

Europe:
Barcelona Vs Real Madrid
Inter Milan Vs AC Milan
Lazio Vs Roma
Dinamo Zagreb Vs Hajduk Split
Fenerbahce Vs Galatasaray

id say a large part of people not appreciating soccer isnt to do with instant gratification ect but simply people love what they grew up with, i grew up playing rugby , not really grew up but played till last year at 17 now i need a shouler reco but i plan on playin by under 20's again
(it goes under 18 then under 20 btw) but anyway i watch rugby, my mates who grew up playing afl watch more afl. i actualy watch all three codes and most of my mates watch at least 2.

i dont like soccer for alot of reasons, really it isnt exiting, the diving ect really pisses me off, if someone does that in rugby they get put all over papers and tv for bein a little bitch. Also there isnt the same meaning for it, in league theres huge rivalries between NSW and QLD and in union NZ and Aus, wereas all the meaning is overseas in soccer and not relateable to me
plus finnaly its a lil girls sport:)

I'm probably being biased but based on trouble on and off the pitch in recent years the biggest rivalry in english football has been Villa Blues (Aston Villa and Birmingham City). Just because we're not competing for trophies it gets overlooked but both sets of supporters and even some of the players (Mellberg) really hated each other.

Other than that, in Britain Celtic Rangers is still pretty intense considering they've been playing each other 4-5 times a year for god knows how long.
