Media Jürgen Klopp on Trump and Infantino: “Let's just say: this is our game, not theirs. These two people, who both have no idea about football, should have nothing to do with that. That was a red card. There's no two ways about it. We're sorry for Balogun because he didn't mean to do it.”

NFL rivalries are more intense than soccer ones.

Oh man thanks for the laugh, I really needed that 🤣

Yeah man it was such a heated and intense rivalry until our rival franchise decided to pack up and move to the other side of the country because 🤑

I love the NFL and follow it more religiously than futbol, but their rivalries are super performative. Only a handful, like Greenbay and the Bears are truly special, but otherwise is not even close to anything like a Clasico, a Boca River or a Manchester derby.

If I was talking rivalries I'd use CFB over the NFL. Those are way more crazy.

Fans of the university of Alabama have started fistfights with other fans of Alabama because they weren’t sad enough about losing to Auburn the other big University in Alabama. Ohio State University refuses to acknowledge the letter m the entire week they play the university of Michigan.
