Talking about derbies...
Barcelona - Real Madrid {Spain}
Universidad de Chile - Colo Colo {Chile}
Olympiakos - Panathinaikos {Greece}
Al Ahly - Zamalek (foreign refs are usually called in, and it is never played in either home ground, nut in Cairo National) {Egypt}
Galatasaray - Fenerbahce (Asia versus Europe) {Turkey}
Ajax - Feyenoord {Holland}
Celtic - Rangers (strong religous undertones) {Scotland}
Roma - Lazio (remember Nesta's daddy, a lifelong Lazio supporter would rather have drowned the kid than see him play for Roma when the boy was initially rejected by Lazio) {Italy}
Boca - River (the haves versus the have nots) {Argentina}
Manchester - Liverpool
PSG - Marseille
Etoile du Sahel - Esperance (coach of the losing side is always sure to loose his job regardless what position his team is on the table)
