England–United States football rivalry

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable (that is, nonexistent) soccer rivalry. Can't find any positive coverage in reliable sources; some sources (though non-reliable themselves) even state that there is no rivalry. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:25, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No coverage since American sources attempted to drum up some passion during the 2010 World Cup. Achowat (talk) 16:28, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree no rivalry exists in many minds, very subjective premise. Cruisealtitude (talk) 17:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not a notable rivalry. Carrite (talk) 19:25, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the rivalry sections of the two teams' articles, which is where minor or developing rivalries in just about any sport seem to go p b p 21:27, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete First of all, it fails GNG as it has no major coverage, plus the article is unsourced. Also, the article doesn't express why the rivalry is notable. Electric Catfish 22:14, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The rivalry really only exists when the US are about to play England and even then its not much of a rivalry. Heck I barely read the English media calling it one. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 01:00, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - what rivalry?! No, seriously. Giant Snowman 08:58, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no such rivalry exists, unless every team England play occasionally are automatically considered "rivals" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:00, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Not exactly Argentina-England or England-Germany, is it? Even England-Republic of Ireland have more of a soccer rivalry than this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.97.73 (talk) 17:57, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
