International rivalries

What nation do you prefer/root for and which one would you say is more successful at sports overall. No Olympics Games, real sports

Britain/France
USA/Mexico
Greece/Turkey
Argentina/Brazil
Australia/NZ
Croatia/Serbia
Germany/Netherlands
Italy/Spain

nah netherlands and belgium too

Britain
USA
Greece
Brazil
Aussies
neither
tough one, but Dutch
neither

>Belgium
>relevant in sports
>relevant at all

Gotta go with the Anglosphere

Great Britain vs. The World is a good rivalry

Britain means nothing to me. England can choke on my stinky french wiener all day. The rest are bros.

the only true rivalries in British sport are between each other, with England vs Germany in football being an exception and I don't think the Germans care as much.

GOAT rivalry is obviously England vs Australia in the cricket, and rugby to a lesser extent.

Whatever mate, here's your you

Football rivalries like England vs Scotland are irrelevant, you both suck

It would be like a Papua New Guinea vs Philippines rivalrie

Britain
USA
Turkey
Argentina/Brazil - neither
Australia/NZ - I really, really like them both
Serbia
Netherlands
Italy

protip: we don't care much about anything outside the Anglosphere and whether you find our rivalries interesting or not

I support New Zealand. Fuck the rest.
Shout out to South Africa.

Just curious, what do you guys base yourself on when it comes to the Brits/Frenchies rivalry?

Britain
USA
Greece
Argentina
NZ
Croatia
Germany
Italy

France
Mexico
Greece
Brazil
Australia
Croatia
Netherlands
Italy

France
USA
Turkey
Neither
New Zealand
Croatia
Netherlands
Italy

>USA vs Mexico is a rivalry

Mexicans really dont see the US as a bonafide rival, and for the few American fans who follow it it's nothing more than a fun meme match.

>real sports rivalries
>Britain v France
>Greece v Turkey
>Italy v Spain

The only rivalries in your list are Ger-Net, Mex-USA and Arg-Bra in football. Probably Cro-Ser in basketball but I don't really know and I suppose Aus-Nzl in rugby.

We hate Germany, Argentina, Scotland, Wales and Ireland more than France.

>Britain hates Scotland and Wales

France
Mexico
Neither
Argentina
NZ
Croatia
See Flag
Neither

Germany - Italy is a pretty cool rivalry desu

No one ITT seemed to understand what I meant so I think I did it wrong

You are meant to pick one of them by preference and then say which one you think is more successful considering all sports, not only football

There aren't many relevant/famous rivalries so in some cases just picked the 2 biggest/more relevant countries of some region

Is it a thing outside of football?

The majority of Britain is England so yes it's true.

Britbongs
Burgers
Hellas
Argies
Koalas
Worst country ever
DUDE WEED LMAO
Pizzas

No idea, I'm neither German or Italian, but those matches always have a great atmosphere. And the legacy of the rivalry backs it up too

Who I root for:
Britain
USA
Greece
Brazil
New Zealand
Croatia
Germany
Italy

Britain
USA
neither
Brazil
NZ
Croatia
Netherlands
Italy

>Britain
>No Olympic Games

Aren't like Tennis and the Olympics the only things were play as Britain for? Pretty much everything else we split into England, Wales, N Ireland and that country that can't qualify for international tournaments.

Britain
USA
Greece
Argentina
Australia
Serbia
Netherlands recently but Germany overall
Italy

prefer / successful :

France / France
USA / USA
Greece / Turkey
Brazil / Brazil
NZ / Australia
Croatia / Croatia
Germany / Germany

>tfw I realise I'm not rooting for the underdogs enough

>France more successful
>worse at F1, tennis, rugby, the Olympics, golf, boxing

(Vous)

>hating and shitting on england
>its not a rivalry though

>Brazil more successful
>worse at F1, tennis, rugby, the Olympics, boxing, hockey, basketball, polo

Uhh, there is not really a USA Mexico rivalry, they're like our half-retarded brown step-kid.

USA Canada gets heated for hockey, but doesn't happen often, and the biggest one is Olympics anyway.

triggered

except the facts you are an inferior sporting country

Eh?

Irish are obsessed though with hating England so the rivlary is one way traffic

We hate you too, it's just you're not relevant enough in most sports.

I bet they're better at hurling

Have a free (You) of appreciation lads.

France
Mexico
>Greece/Turkey
Argentina
NZ
>Croatia/Serbia
Germany
Spain

Only on sp for meme reasons.

England don't care about Ireland true. Ireland don't realise this though and every meeting is basically world cup final x 999999999

Scotland yes.

Root for

France (only because england losing is funny)
USA
Turkey :^)
Brazil
NZ
Serbia
Netherlands
Italy

All the French I met were assholes

>most dominant figure in any one sport
>35x World Champion
>won over 200 titles and major tournaments
>pic related, Ceulemans lifting yet another World Cup with Kobayashi Maru (on the right), the guy that could not win against him
>not a burger but probably because it's a burger sport the burgers made him a hall of famer or whatever burgers call that lifetime achievement thingy
>most aptly named player in cue-sports, cue-le-mans

French food tastes good.

Is that the Ceulemans of the 80s stacked Belgium team?

I hate you for cucking us in '86 but even more for failing to cuck Marranona the next round in the semis.

France
USA
???
Brazil
>relevant sports
Croatia
Germany
Spain

>One team hasn't won anything in over 70 years

Nice "Rivalry" you got there

>different Ceulemans

>Belgium in the SFs against the argies
>2 bad calls prevented Belgium from opening the score
>both times the players were clearly onside and the linesman even lost the plot and started shouting at the Belgians
>matchfixing

>England
>USA
>Greece
>Indifferent
>Australia
>Serbia (though Croatians are nicer people overall)
>Netherlands
>Spain

Are we rivals with the French at anything sports related?
I can maybe think of cycling, and even then, only tour de France and the like

>US-Mexico
>a rivalry

Not in any sport that matters to the average American.

Give me US-Canada/Russia hockey every day of the week over anything involving Mexico.

What about the famous America/Mexico high jump rivalry?

OP explicitly said no olympics, famalam. But the high jumping and pole vaults at the San Diego-Tijuana joint qualifiers were intense.

>Argentina more successful
>worse at FE, surfing, jiu-jitsu, the Olympics, judo, handball, volleyball, water polo

I think he meant 'accept' instead of 'except' but you really can't blame the burgers for their shitty education.

Depends of which sport
Rugby - england
Football - italy/germany

>belgium

EXECUTE ALL KIWIS

Britain
Mexico
Greece
Don't care
Kiwis
Don't care

Don't care

Mexico vs USA is irrelevant too cause americans don't give a fuck about football and mexico is mexico

>USA v MEX
>rivalry

Is this what Euro news reports? Neither country is in any way invested in the outcome of this meeting save for Sup Forums shitposters

This is factually incorrect. I know this is Sup Forums where everyone thinks in memes but this is so wrong it is a bit embarrassing.

This.

Additional Soft Spots:
>Bangladesh
>Pakistan
>Haiti
>S. Korea
>Japan
>Norway
>Finland

Don't choke on that burger, lad.

I unironically think a properly made burger is the greatest food item ever conceived.

A top tier burrito > a top tier burger anyday desu

France
USA
Greece
Argentina
NZ
Croatia
tie
Italy

Around 9 out of 10 French people are absolute fucking cunts lad. Anyone who would choose France over us has clearly never been there or come into contact with anyone French.

USA / Canada for hockey

Britain
USA
Greece
Brazil
NZ
Croatia
Netherlands
Italy

are you kidding me. The ratio for english cunts is much higher, about 29 out of 30. And while they don't have an american dick in their mouth they're out getting their asses kicked by some russian hooligans, or getting a prostate exam from some icelandic dentist .

Italy-Spain is not a real rivarly
maybe in football but it's more friendly than spiteful

Italy-Germany is way more bitter, probably the most passionate on our part, no idea if ze Hermanns reciprocate
Italy-France too

We have more titles than you and more succesful pilots, wtf.

>prefer
Britain
USA
Greece
Argentina
same fucking thing
Serbia stronk
Netherlands
Italy

>more successful
Britain (thanks to massive doping)
USA (thanks to not being useless beaners)
Turkey (thanks to exploiting residency rules and paying denbts)
Argentina (Brazil better at soccer, Argies better at basketball, rugby, hockey)
Croatia (Djok is the only thing Serbs have over them)
New Zealand (rugby league and cricket are the Aussie's favourite sports and NZ are better at both)
Germany (three favourite sports of Ned are soccer, hockey and volleyball and Germans are better at all of them)
Spain (basketball, tennis, cycling)

Brazil is better in volleyball and handball. Also martial arts.

>including poo peeland but not ireland

Are these the famous Brazilian martial arts skills I've heard so much about?
