Clássico dos Clássicos

Clássico dos Clássicos (English: the Derby of Derbies) is a derby between two crosstown football teams in the Brazilian city of Recife: Clube Náutico Capibaribe and Sport Club do Recife.[1] It is the third oldest derby in Brazilian football (1909), just after VascoxFlamengo and Grenal.

Background

Sport was created in 1905 by a falling out between Náutico members, renegade members leaving Náutico to create the new club. The series of matches began in 1909. A newspaper item in 1945 led to the current name for the derby.

The rivalry between the two clubs is intense and is reflected in part by the opposing teams' colors: the principal colors of Clube Náutico Capibaribe are red and white; those of Sport Club do Recife are red and black. The competitiveness has sometimes given rise to conflicts between the supporters of the teams, especially among organized members of the teams' fan clubs. Security has been a significant concern for the local authorities, involving large numbers of police and firefighters.

gollark: I think what humans do is randomly guess a bit, tweak the numbers so they match better, then infer the rest when they reach something consistent.
gollark: Oh, hmm, I'm not really sure how you would do that. Did you try looking it up on the interwebs?
gollark: What specifically do you want to do?
gollark: DNA is pretty dense, the equipment to read/write it less so.
