    while 80% of world don't even know what is yankees and red sox

    bigest rivalrys are football ones...that's the most popular sport in world. real-barca, milan-juventus...etc. then comes the rest

    celtics-lakers are among top in terms of quality and popularity (maybe top 30), but in terms of intensity, fan hate etc they are out top 100...mostley it's media hype

        anyway, when did I say soccer was not worldwide exactly? seriously did I even say that, so stop putting word in my mouth, if you don't have an argument don't say anything please.

        I guess Dtown summed it up pretty well, it all depends on how you measure a rivalry. Though I don't thing a rivalry should be measure by the number of fans or how big the sport is but by how much each team (and their fans) hate each other and for how much the want an excuse to start beating the hell out of each other.

        these is what defines a rivalry for me not the number of fans (what the hell those fan # has to do with this anyway)

            if it makes you feel better you guys do the same exact thing

            you guys call (American)Football: "handball" when there is already a pretty popular sport that's called like that.

            don't you think handball fans would also get upset about it, the same way you get upset when someone called "American football" football
            why the double standard

              actually we call (american) football, american football...sometimes in croatia we say american rugby to (in fact that's most closest description of that sport) and football we call football

                  not saying that baseball is more popular (or even as popular as) than soccer but 80%?? c'mon now. Just because is not popular in Europe dpes not mean that is not popular, Europe is not the center of the world y'know (unlike what most Europeans think)

                    nah, that's already taken, that's how people here refer to soccer
                    good try though

                    btw, since you brought that up, let's see what science has to say about that

                      or US is not ceter of the world like most americans behive

                      number is just description (but I wouldn't be so sure number is wrong...you do know that many people don't even bother with sport).....fact is bigest rivally are from most popular sport of the world. football has big fan base evreywhere, even in USA, unlike baseball who almost has none in quite big part of the world....and it's not world wide...me as sport junkie didn't even know untill today that those are rivals and i have espn on tv, tough i did hear for them, but didn't know about rivaly...that's the difret. even in countries where football isn't top sport still has big fan base, ulike baseball

                      when it comes to passion, itensity, hate....it's out of top 100 for sure

                        Source?

                        Baseball is frankly a minor sport worldwide, it's not even in the Olympics anymore.

                          that has nothing to do with being popular, baseball is not in the Olympics because The Olympics are control by Europeans who only care about European games and politics

                          cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world, but it is not in the Olympics ( and please let's not get into the Cricket is not a sport but a game argument pls)

                          actually sinobbal is you look at the tv ratings, baseball is up there with soccer, basketball, rugby, cricket, handball and hockey. among the most watched sports in the world. surpassing sports other really popular sports like Volleyball, water polo and tennis

                          being in the Olympics doesn't mean that a sport is popular these days, it's all about the anti-American and anti-Latin American bias. After all how many people really do Equestrian or even watch it, and that crap is actually in the Olympics


                          edit:
                          actually I counted the population of Mexico there as well, I forgot that Baseball is second to football there.

                            I still don't buy this number. Are you saying 2.2 billion (that's 1/3 of the world) watches baseball as their #1 sport? You can't be serious. Baseball outside America is only played in places like Cuba, Dominican Republic, Taiwan, and even in Japan and South Korea football clearly is #1. So educate me on how you got the number.

                              I wouldn't say clearly with Japan. Baseball is still hugely popular over there. Every source I've seen has it either number #1 or too close to call.

                              That said the 2 billion number is hard to swallow, especially if you're only counting nations where it's most popular. By that logic you can't even count the United States.

                                Panama, Mexico, USA, Canada, The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Japan, Korea, China Taipei, Cuba, Netherlands Antilles, Venezuela, Cartagena & Barranquilla (Col), New South Wales & Victoria (Aus) Guayaquil (Ecu), Parma (Ita) and São Paulo and Paraná (Bra), I took their total population and that is pretty much all

                                that two billion most be wrong though
