RE: Basketball fans and atmosphere: USA vs. Europe

in Sports Talk Social2 years ago

Awesome, that must have been really cool to watch :) Thanks for your contribution mate. Are there any super heated football derbies in Brazil like for example Boca vs. River Plate in Argentina? I would love to visit a game like this somewhere in South America too...

Sort:  

Yeah, there are the classics. In my state, the biggest is Gremio vs Internacional (not as violent as Boca vs. River though things escalate sometimes). The thing about Boca is that their stadium, La Bombonera, is like a box, so the fans sit very next to the grass, bringing that energy to the field. It's very hard to win against Boca because of that.

Right. It´s on the stadiums like this one where the home advantage is on another level ;) I would love to see the Boca vs. River game one day...

Me too, and most importantly, survive to tell the tale \o\o\o\
