Topic: Greatest Sports Rivalries Posted: 18-Dec-2007 at 11:00 |

Nowadays, Saudi Arabia vs Iran, poor Iranians haven't won a game in years and we kicked them from two world cup qualifiers as well as two Asian chapionship finals .
In Azadi stadium, they allow 120 000 people to sit on top of each other so that they could see the game, the stadium can only carry 90 000 only to be dissapointed by yet another loss from the the green Falcons .
Back home, Al-Hilal, the master of asian clubs regrettablly, and Al-Nasr is the most competative game though it has been played down in recent years because Al-Hilal is in its best years after winning 6 asian titles in 8 years while we only won two and lost two .

Last time I checked Saudi Arabia can not yet beat Iran in Tehran ever. your best Score has been a 4:3 14 years ago while Iran has beaten Saudi Arabia 3 times 3:0 and last one was 2001 2:0. beside Two of Saudi arabia victory over Iran was on penalty stage and in UAE. Iran and Saudi Arabia Did not play after 2001. Keep Dreaming... Soccer: Iran vs. Japan Japan vs. South Korea Iran vs. South Korea Japan vs. Saudi Arabia Argentina vs. Germany Argentina vs. Brazil Perspolis vs. Esteghlal ( Iranian league )

NY Rangers vs NY Islanders, or NY Rangers and NJ Devils. I hate the NYI and NJD with a passion! LETS GO RANGERS! |
Go Devils (I'm a Jersey boy what can I say)!
For me at least the big rivalries goes as such:
Yankees/Red Sox New York Jets/Patriots Devils/NY Rangers
Those are the big ones for me. Go Yankees, Jets, and Devils. |
Those be fightin' words!

Portsmouth vs Southampton (or vice versa ) used to be the big one, and still would be except that for the last 70-odd years they have rarely been in the same division at the same time.
Actually the rivalry between the towns has been going on longer than most modern countries have existed.
(Anyone advance on 800-odd years?)
NB The Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race takes some beating. Pretty well everyone in Britain used to take one side or the other, even if they'd never been near either place.

As for schools, the USC Trojans vs. UCLA Bruins, as well as the Michigan Wolverines vs. Ohio State Buckeyes, which in fact, is the oldest rivalry in ncaa history.
One of the biggest rivalries in the NFL is the Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs.

Australia vs. New Zealand in the netball. It certainly gets quite feisty!

You remind me that as teenagers my cousin Bryan and I got ourselves qualified as netball umpires.
There's always another way to meet girls.
