Table tennis smash out between my brother and I, of course.
I was tempted to say the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers (every bit as intesnse as the Yankees and Red Sox) but I must concede that it was El Salvador and Costa Rica I think in 1969 over a soccer match which resulted in an actual war. How can anyone top that, an actual war fought over a soccer match?
Mankind’s game with itself? Federer v Nadal for the next 10 years? The list could be endless and ultimately pointless.
