Better rivalry now L.A.-S.F. or Bos-NYY ?

Whoa....

[MVPosey28]

I don't think any American rivalry, in any sport, can touch what soccer (also cricket in say India) means to other countries. You don't have cities against each other, you have entire countries picking a side.

Country vs country rivalries like Spain vs Italy, Germany vs England/Netherlands, France vs England ect blow ANYTHING the US has to offer out of the water, and that's not getting into the EPL/ euro leagues either.

I actually agree here.

Nobody in Europe cares about the World Series at all and nobody can give a single baseball player name since 1876.
At least in France, and in England (I lived 2 years in London). It can be Yankees / Red Sox or Anchorrage/ Helena, same result, they watch footbal, sometimes basketball, tennis, and the Tour de France.
Many of my students wear a fantasy Yankee cap...without even knowing who the Yankees are !

lol, that's what i thought, i went to san diego state university, which has the highest percentage of international students and second highest percentage of students proficient in a second language, i had two roommates from Europe one was from Copenhagen the other from Stockholm neither knew crap about baseball, though i did take them to a Padres game on beer night(good times) they both watched soccer and even taught me some stuff about the game, and they both watched hockey with me.
Btw why do you watch baseball? No one else does in Europe? Except maybe Holland.
(also what do you teach?)

Hi Ciaban,
And you are still a Padres fan ? Must be tough. 5 years ago around they won the disvision and I wanted to post a congratulation message in their forum.... There was nobody !!!
I am bleeding Blue since the 29th of JUly 1985. My late father worked in the USA and the family joined himfor summer vaccations. One game, one 10-85 victory versus old Vida Blue and the Giants. It was magical. No stadium in France at the time had a giant screen for instance.
Their most feared hitter was Chili Davis at the time. Not that frightening compared with our Pedro Guerrero. Then not internet, no baseball on TV, I bought books, newspapers and videos and learned everything by myself.
Holland and Italy have the 2 best teams in Europe, but far, far, far after socccer.
I am teaching marketing and management to a high school. Then prepare them for the exam they must pass to enter university, schools, etc. And among 1,500 students, I have seen at least 25 Yankees Caps, all different, none the real one.

[lolPhillies]

lol at Ciaban being a Padres fan. And how are the Dodgers and Giants fanbases younger, and without bragging rights?

Lol i am a dodger fan through and through i was born in LA but grew up in San Jose which is the largest most populated most important city in the SF bay area, i just went to San Diego state for school.

Yeah my last name is Krommenhoek, which is the name of a small fishing village in Zeeland. I root for Holland in all the tournaments, and despite being a dodger fan i love me some Bert Byleven.

Also, that's interesting i studied that Marketing at San Diego State University.

hey they got logan morrison too, and yunel escobar, and rickey nolasco, all of whom will be traded by opening day.

[BayArea91]

California, man. The East Coast is cool, but the Yay is the mecca, feel me?

Anyways, the Giants-Dodgers have been around much longer and they are much more in depth to one another and even. Like old friends who keep up like that.

[SFrush90]

No, I do not feel you.

[MickeyMgl]

Only they're not the big time team in the west .

Big spenders.

[Greedy22]
