The article provides no evidence for either the existence or the notability of such a rivalry. The only source used in the article is to a results database. The prose of the article is completely unsourced and seems like the author's own opinion of how the countries should view each other rather than encyclopedic information. A Google search only produces one result [1] that mentions the teams in the same sentence, a list of the best "World Cup rivalries" which openly admits that the inclusion of the match-up (in last place) is not because it has any of the characteristics of a rivalry but only because the teams have played each other many times in the World Cup.

- Delete. I agree with the nominator. Not enough of a thing to justify an article. Even far from justified. Good catch and analysis, User:BlueSwede92! gidonb ( talk) 00:53, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Delete article was created earlier in the month by a confirmed sock, which isn't enough to delete - the fact it fails WP:GNG is. SportingFlyer talk 05:27, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - Rivalry is far from notable, let alone the history. Hansen Sebastian Talk 09:14, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- Delete - no evidence that such a rivalry exists. Having played each other a few times down the years does not constitute a rivalry -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 10:34, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

- Delete - Fifteen head-to-head matches, half of which have been friendlies, over the course of 80 years does not make a rivalry. Regardless, it fails WP:GNG as required by WP:NRIVALRY. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 08:08, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
