There were as many Dallas matches that were representative of the rivalry as New England ones the last few years, including the season openr last year the question of course is which will last for the long haul. New England may not as it is player-based and those move on. Dallas is about the team and that doesn't change mm, it it tough to say.

I guess I should never have implied that the Europeans do rivalries better. Because, well, dammit, everybody knows Americans are best in the world at hating!!
