Yankees-RedSox, Duke-Carolina, Ohio State-Michigan.... none of them have reached this level!

Which team was closer to the fascist regime??!! This is intense.
 
Nothing in American sports compares to some of the old-school soccer rivalries based off of politics or religion. Celtic-Rangers in Glasgow, Scotland (Catholics vs Protestants), Real Madrid-Barcelona (fascists vs separatists), Lazio-Roma in Rome (fascists vs working class), Newcastle-Sunderland in northern England (royalists vs parliamentarians), Sevilla-Real Betis in Spain (middle class vs working class), Galatasaray-Fenerbahce in Istanbul, Turkey (upper class vs working class), Panathinaikos vs Olympiacos in Athens, Greece (wealthy vs working class), etc

It just goes to show that people will find whatever reason to feud and hate.

Carry on!
