You lot do have an intense rivalry, but nothing comes close to El Classico.ESPImperium wrote:Can i just say that my club team has just had 2 of its players thrust into the limelight today, Mo Edu for the USA with a disallowed goal that was disturbingly like one he scored in one of the most intense matches in the club game, the Old Firm, last season.
As for the England game, the Man Of The Match to me, was the guy who i decided to buy his countrys top to wear for the world cup, the man who had Rooney, Heskey, Cole, Defoe and any other Englishman who came his way, Maijd Bougherra.
Sorry to be gloating with some intent, but when it comes to my teams players, i am slightly fanatical, like most football fans in this glorious city.
Celtic - Rangers is top for pure hatred But Barcelona vs Real Madrid transcends even the religous aspect and splits spain.
Spanish blue blood, or Catalan.
As a Figo fan I remember the Barca faithful throwing a pigs head onto the field while he took a corner playing for Madrid( he played for Barca the year before).
One of the banners accused him of playing for money by saying "You would sell your mother....if you knew who she was".
Cutting and funny, very unSpanish.
