Which one of these is the greatest international football rivalry?

Argentina vs. Brazil
Argentina vs. England
Argentina vs. Germany
England vs. Germany
Germany vs. Netherlands
Mexico vs. USA
Portugal vs. Spain

Anything I missed?
I deliberately left off Italy vs. France because it only started a couple years ago, so it is a relatively new rivalry compared to the other ones and fresh in every ones minds. It hasn't reached the same level as the ones I mentioned.

For me it would have to be England v Germany.

Although I must admit that both the English and German media took it a step too far during Euro 96.

PORTUGAL vs SPAIN
because i hate portugal and i LOVE LOVE UBERLY LOVE SPAIN!!!!!1
portugal and spain are connected but they got the crappy football gene pool
spain's keeper > portugal's keeper
spain's defense > portugal's defense
spain's midfield > portugal's midfield
spain's attack > portugal's attack
spain's SEX APPEAL (SO HOT, yes it counts to if portugal doesn't have it) > portugal's non existent sex appeal

i would say germany netherlands, those games always end bad. the fans from both teams either cheer or moron so theres always fights. germany and netherlands yeah they are big rivals

i cheer on germany though.

Argentina and Brazil, both are top teams in South America, also so called neighbours, it's like a local derby, both fans and players hated each other, that both wanted to win so eagerly whenever they met in any competitions. Also England vs Scotland you missed out.

Argentina vs. England (not much competition)
Argentina vs. Germany (good but not really rivals)
England vs. Germany (not much competition)
