well in Communist Stickball, there is that one sided rivalry known as the Boston, Yankees rivalry. I dont know how thats even a rivalry really, its just that the boston fans hate the yankees to their bones, while the yankees fans are all just glory dwellers.
Ever seen our kits, genius? The F*re has more white in their kit than we do. It sounds like all you've ever watched of United is road matches.
These guys are trying to rag on our hegemony in rivalries when they can't even get 10,000 to show up in Dallas for a grudge match. I don't care how ugly Dragon Stadium is. You should still get a bigger crowd than we can expect for this weekend. Have they even sold out Cardinal for the Brimstone games this season? I can only imagine what the atmosphere is going to be like during the Seven Days. I predict the best atmosphere ever in a USOC match, the only possible exception being when the Rhinos made their great run. vive le noir et rouge forza le nero un rossi viva la negro y rojo Long live the Black and Red
Yes. Soccer in a continental nation takes on a larger dimension. An I-95 derby is a hop-skip-and-a-jump to us; something the wee lads over the pond and beyond the chunnel can't comprehend. It's their problem, not ours. But the fact that a bit of recognition from 4-4-2 causes so much excitement on the Dizzyboards speaks volumes about DC's claim to superior culture, nightlife, or general ability to rise above the adolescent obsessions of your average hick-town yokels. Gotta love these guys -- neo-Nazi eagles and all.
Yeah, I guess it couldn't be considered a problem on your end since you don't have a chance of ever being superior to United. Your Scum have been the darlings of the hack US soccer media along with the Galaxhite and Landon's Dirtcakes for far too long. So when United gets recognition from a futbol publication that doesn't suck, it's understandable that we would be excited. As for adolescent obsessions, you're only saying that because you know we're better and it just burns you up inside. And hick-town? I guess any city that isn't full of 10 million grade-M assholes is a hick-town to you. We may have the eagle, but you jackoffs have the Nazis. Go to hell, MetroScum. And BTW, it's a Thunderbird-style eagle now. I guess you wouldn't know that, what with your long-running taste in tacky crests.
They don't say it is the 16th best Derby whatsoever. First, they don't even include games from the UK. Second, they are listing the 20 greatest "travel" destinations that are tied to football and using Derbys as a means to help justify their picks. New York happens to be a pretty cool city. Do you think the "Beijing" Derby is world renowned. For instance, one game that is mysteriously missing is Barcelona v. Madrid (although they do have Madrid vs. Madrid). And where exactly is the Milan v. Milan or Milan v. Turin game. I cite these only to prove what they were really trying to do with the article - which is fantastic btw. Sorry if others have made the same point. I did not read the entire thread.
