#3 Why is it called a derby? Plus: our six favorite derbies

We offer two explanations for why the term derby is used for a big soccer rivalry, then each offer up three of our favorite derbies.

Worth noting, we don't talk El Clasico or the North London Derby or Superclasico or the Old Firm Derby because a) you've probably heard it all before and b) each deserves its own full episode.

Derbies discussed:

The Northwest Derby: Manchester vs Liverpool

The Black Country Derby: Wolves vs WBA

The Hamburg Derby: Hamburg vs St Pauli

De Klassieker: Ajax vs Feyenoord

The Istanbul Derby: Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce

The Seville Derby: Sevilla vs Real Betis
