l
Not seen it mentioned yet, 'el super classico' Boca Juniors vs River Plate at La Bombonera.

Its number 1 on this list http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1182710,00.htm but dont´t believe that its only a few quid to get in.

I attended last Sunday and it´s the most intense atmosphere I´ve ever witnessed. If your ever in BA when this fixture is on, you MUST attend!

Video found on youtube from Sunday´s 1-1 draw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsUBXOXoc64 The game stopped 30 mins into the second half so the fans can have a bit of a sing song and fireworks display.

Beat me to it I'd have that over any other football match and has to be at Bombonera.

Also AFL Grand Final at the MCG
Racing at  Happy Valley,
Ashes Tour
Super Bowl

Been to Happy Valley. Remarkable venue for horse racing, but the atmosphere was very very flat.

Bit disappointing really.

Quite surprised you have the Kentucky Derby in your list for the same reason Keith.  I have been to a lot of US racing including a Breeders Cup and a few Florida derby's but whilst I love the sport they wouldn't be at the top of my list of events to go to.

Looks like an amazing occasion on tv.

Guess you could be right though, although I really enjoyed going to the Breeders Cup.

His general demeanour seems to be a bit of a running joke with all the pundits, very withdrawn and not really one for talking to them is he.

Too hard to order them but:

- Augusta (I guess final day but not fussed)
- Big Lions game in southern hemisphere
- Superbowl
- Big boxing/MMA fight in Vegas
- Some sort of championship cock fight in South America

(last one prob a bit controversial but went to one on honeymoon in Bali and was buzzing)

Bear fighting, badger baiting, fox hunting and dog fighting are fun too I hear.

Yeah not exactly a fan of animal cruelty. Prefer watching two consenting adults pound lumps out of each other for my evening's entertainment


Edit: Not like that, Millidonk.

Ryder Cup final day

Barca v Real would have to be at the Bernabeu its a much better stadium than the Camp Nou with a better atmosphere. (Sorry I know its your list but the Camp Nou really is rather shit).

Final day of deciding test of the Ashes in Australia.
England game in ko stages of Rugby/Football World Cups, pref the final but million to that ever happening with football.
Last day of Ryder Cup.
Rio Olympics.

Men's Tennis final in a slam a close 6th.

Ofc if talking total fantasy then my top 5 would be being there to see Newcastle winning CL, Prem, F.A Cup and England winning World Cup and Euro's.

Bull fighting probably bigger but wasn't a fan of that. Nearly got beaten up for cheering on the bull.

Oh, just thought of another one. The Dakar Rally, but would need to be from a helicopter.
