There is no Glasgow in either Celtic or Rangers official name.

When it comes to local derbies, if you have here Barcelona vs Espanyol instead of Real; you should give in Mexico option Club Atlas instead of America.

With all do respect, the Espanyol and Barcelona derby is definitely a thing, but why wouldn't you put in the El Classico? Or maybe put 2 answers for teams like Barca and Arsenal where they have several derbies.

Read the title. El Clasico is not a local derby.

Too short. No Brazilian teams, where are Madrid-Atleti, Sevilla-Betis, City-United, América-Pumas, Al-Ahly-Zamalek, etc?

Great quiz! Although maybe add the option to have alternative spellings for Fenerbahce, as "Fenerbache" or "Fenerbace" because the spelling is hard :) Anyways, congrats on the great idea!

It doesn't have to be an exhaustive list of all derbies.

Good quiz, nominated.

A non-local derbies version would be cool, or a part 2.

I use the word soccer to distinguish it from (American) football when searching the site. Also, the proper word is calcio.

Krakow, Belgrade and Athens are massive ones. West Ham - Millwall is probably the most famous English one, but I'd give the South Coast Derby (Southampton - Portsmouth) a mention. It hasn't been a common fixture lately, but I can guarantee it's been absolutely crazy when it has happened. Some fierce Italian ones (albeit lesser known due to lower status of the teams involved) are Pisa - Livorno and Palermo - Catania

Joining the South Coast Derby, other local derbies that tend to start before noon (to minimise pre-game drinking), yet still end up having arrests, include West Brom-Wolves and Luton-Watford.

The quiz captures good variety across the globe, and while everyone can demand to have their favorite locales added, doing that would make the quiz less appealing to a broader audience. So just add St Pauli vs Hamburg as well as Gladbach vs Cologne, and then we can be done with it. ;-)

Nice quiz, nominated. Could you add a few type ins for Fenerbahce? Probably the most obvious one that I was trying was Fenerbache. Agreed with the above that El Classico is not a derby, just a rivalry. Only other suggestion is for Arsenal could Chelsea also be added as a type in - on that basis probably the other 11 London EFL teams too, but whilst the North London Derby is a big and famous one, so is AFC vs Chelsea. Thinking is there any French ones, only one I can think of that's really local and obvious is Lille vs Lens.
