Day Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 It's all estimates anyway as the article was written before both games even kick off but the Premier League is the most watched league around the world and shown in more countries, would not surprise me one bit that Man Utd v Liverpool would attract more. Man Utd and Liverpool are huge in Asia, Real Madrid and Barca's hipsters not so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 A **** ton of people watch this, but does not even come close in a lot of ways to the passion/intensity shown in rivalries such as:Red Star Belgrade v Partizan BelgradeLazio v RomaCSKA v SpartakEtc.

AndyinLiverpool Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Some ex-Warsaw pact countries have rivalries based on the persecution of one oraganisation and the favouring of another by the regime. They can be quite viscous. That few people watch them on the telly doesn't detract from the hostility. As someone has already suggested, see also AEK v Olympiakos. They even manage to have punch ups at the water polo. El Classico is hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
