    - West Ham/Millwall FC (English Football): Well, hooligans from both side and their rivalry is well documented, I've learnt recently by a few nice guys here that one was from irish and the other from scottish origins, a damn firce rivalry with roots deep into the celtic lands.

    - Boston Red Sox/Yankees (Baseball): The Curse of the Bambino, the Legend of Fenway Park vs the core of New-York, it is all here, pure hate breathing for the Steinbrenner family on one side vs accusation of jealousy on the other.

    - Auburn Tiger/ Alabama Crimson Tide (American University Football) voted second biggest sport rivalry by the sports illustrated, these two can't stand each others, it's all about how far from which stadium you're born and in Alabama, peoples sleep, breathe and die by the sword of their respective team, which side are you on, boy?

    - Boston Celtics/ L.A Lakers (Basketball) It's all about the East vs the West, The constant and relentless impact of Lary Bird vs the eternal wizardry of "Magic Johnson.
    not sure if we get coverage of ice hockey in the UK? but i worked for an emigration company & the boss was canadian & in the office they had a massive poster of the canadians beating the americans in some competition? cant remember which one tho?
    Was it the Americans or Russia? IF the American, probably during one of the world cups, if Russia, what they called "the series of the century" at the era of the Steel Curtain when Canada did beat Russia 4-3.

    Personally, I do not hate the Browns at all... their outfit is perhaps the ugliest ever but hey, you get the coolest supporter ever in the person of Big Dawg Thompson
