Sydney United vs Sydney Olympic
Sydney United Sports Centre (King Tomislav)
Sydney Olympic leading the standings at first place with 16 points with Sydney United on 3rd spot with 14 points.
Highlight moments for me:
Collina/Culina (spelling?) running behind the goals at King Tom after he scores celebrating and giving it to the Olympic fans, then grk4lyf's dad spits to the biggest saliva ball right into his face
Early 2000's, i think in 2001, it was a semi-final and it was Sydney Cro v South Melbourne at Parramatta Stadium. It was mostly Olympic supporters there rather then South Melbourne from the Greek side of the stadium. Cro's were on the opposite stand, and had loss the game, resulting in them going nuts ripping seats out and throwing bins everywhere. Maybe even clashes with security. The Olympic fans that had went stood up and started giving the 3 finger salute en mass furthering the Cro's rage. I go to primary school the next day, and show my (hot) Croatian teacher the 3 finger salute having no idea what the fuck it is or means, and end up getting a big lecture.

Sydney Olympic
The nomads of the NSL and backed by a heavy Greek following, the former club called Pan Hellenic have had rich history with United stemming back from 1963 when they first met at Lambert Park.
Both clubs have seen more activity off the field than on especially with transfers of players between the clubs
Players such as Ante Milicic, Ned Zelic, Emil Dragicevic, Labinot Haliti, Jim Patikas, Graham Jennings, Ante Moric, Eric Hristodoulou and David Barrett have switched between the clubs over the years.
My predicted scoreline:
