Could you accept Milan for AC Milan and Lyon for Olympique Lyonnais? And also I was trying Dinamo Kiev, Dynamo Kiev, Dinamo Kiyv and I couldn't get it so I gave up. Could you add type ins like that as well?
Sorry, for some reason, I added that match in later, and for some reason, they didn't save in the final edition of the quiz, but were still considered answers, that has been fixed
Revierderby is surely more of a classic than the so-called "Klassiker" but the latter is more internationally known so I guess its inclusion makes some sense.
A few suggestions for type-ins: Boca for Boca Juniors, America for Club America, Olympique Lyon/Marseille for Olympique de Lyon/Marseille, BVB for Borussia Dortmund, Spartak for Spartak Moscow. On the other hand, accepting 'LA' for LA Galaxy probably doesn't make much sense, especially given that the other team is also from LA. I also expected something from Istanbul but it's okay since the list doesn't claim to be comprehensive.
Yes their main one is Nottingham Forest in which whenever the two teams play one another a trophy is contested called "The Brian Clough Trophy" due to Brian Clough managing both teams during his career.
Another is Leicester City, in which both rivalries with Forest and Leicester are dubbed the "East Midlands Derby". They also share a 'friendly' rivalry with Burton Albion due to both teams having shared fanbases as well as Nigel Clough (the son of Brian) being the manager of both teams :)
Leeds are another rival of Derby but is considered lesser known than the other rivalries but did get worse in 2019 when the spygate accusations and trials were held against Leeds. Stoke and Aston Villa are similar notations to Leeds just without all the spying malarkey
Cool quiz. Suggested addition: "Le Classique", i.e. PSG vs Olympique de Marseille. (Granted, Marseille is already featured in this quiz, but their rivalry with PSG is generally considered more intense than the one with Lyon.)
Thank you for your suggestions! I want to try to keep it to one derby per team. I think that I should probably split this up into several quizzes in order to include the any derby's of the more storied clubs.
I'm going to second other people's suggestion and recommend the Belgrade derby. Also the Krakow derby (aka the Holy War) and the Tehran derby are worth including
Nice quiz! Actually, in Germany the most prestigious derby is the "Revierderby" or "Ruhrderby" between Dortmund and Schalke. Of course Schalke is less important than Bayern, but I was expecting that one
There are a lot of more relevant derbies than Dortmund vs Bayern in Germany, and if I see the words "Der Klassiker" I want to cry. But I understand that this is a quiz site, not a site for football fans.
I have chosen that one due to Schalke's recent struggles in the Bundesliga. I understand the importance of the Rivierderby due to geographic proximity, but I am currently prioritizing the heavyweight clashes so to speak. I will likely need to make this a series in order to account for those.
Some more for you to consider: The Prague Derby between Slavia and Sparta; the Eternal Derby(Croatia) between Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split; the Derby du Nord between Lens and Lille; and the Basque Derby between Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad.
The spelling with z is correct.
Another is Leicester City, in which both rivalries with Forest and Leicester are dubbed the "East Midlands Derby". They also share a 'friendly' rivalry with Burton Albion due to both teams having shared fanbases as well as Nigel Clough (the son of Brian) being the manager of both teams :)
Leeds are another rival of Derby but is considered lesser known than the other rivalries but did get worse in 2019 when the spygate accusations and trials were held against Leeds. Stoke and Aston Villa are similar notations to Leeds just without all the spying malarkey
Somel suggestions:
Derby Rhone-Alpes: OL vs St. Etienne
North East Derby: Newcastle United vs Sunderland
Eternal Derby (Croatia): Hajduk Split vs Dinamo Zagreb
Prague Derby: Sparta Prague vs Slavia Prague
Eternal Derby (Serbia): Red Star vs Partizan
