I would say that baseball comes close to eliciting as much passion as football, at least here in the states, but that's the only other sport I can think of that is even in the conversation.

Would UEFA really allow die Klassiker/el Classico ahead of the final? That would drive ratings for the semi through the ceiling I'm sure, but the final could become anticlimactic.
