Good idea though for a thread..
I've tried to open a thread like this before... in a place where it didn't really get much applause.
on the vCash. I don't dare put anything on Feds anymore nowadays () and I doubt I will do so on Raf ever again as the dearie cost me 25K yesterday. Raf.

I'd love to add a lot more pictures right now, but alas, my Photobucket account has gone bonkers 'exceeded bandwith' so I have to wait a couple of weeks till all of my collection becomes postable again.
Will upload a couple of them on another account soon. Can't do without the picspam myself either.
How about a regular picspam entry focussing on one of their matches. I would have liked to start off with their first meeting, 3rd round Miami 2004, wherein a 17-year old Raf blew Roger off the court, 6-3 6-3. Whoopie. Welcome to the show, Rafa!
Unfortunately I have a total of three pictures from this match and all of them are worthless as none of them have both of the guys in them.
(should anyone have anything from this match, please post! pleezpleezpleez??? )
So that leaves me with their second meeting. Same tournament, just one year later. Final Miami 2005, which could well have ended up as another major kick from Raf in Roger's ass, as after some two hours of play, Raf lead 6-2 7-6 4-1, only two points from victory.
How he managed to do it I still don't know, but the wake-up call apparently came just in time, as somehow Roger managed to squeeze out the 3rd set TB and conveniently win the next two sets 6-3 6-1.
Okay then. PICSPAM!
"Nice try, buddy" ~ this kid is going to give me quite a bit of work in the future!
"Never mind, Rogelio, you better player, no?" ~ plenty of chances coming up soon... "
Famous cute picture...
And another one, a non-professional one.
Ha! First signs of Roger's Rafa-shoe fetish.
Well well... what would be future bring for these fellows? A... friendly rivalry?
Perhaps not surprising that this was one of the last great masters final when they had best of five sets.

Meh.

Well the best-of-five Masters finals went on up till the 2006 season (this match was from 2005) and fortunately Feds & Nads were so kind to grace us with one more: the Rome 2006 final, being the best match the two ever played imho.
Thanks Mr. Disney for this! ()

Fangurlzism is welcome here. Fanboyism as well.
As for the gloryhunting, ah, well nothing lasts for ever eh. In a year or two, the mods will be happy to dump this thread in "Blast From The Past"...

Four years and counting!
I commend you for yet another attempt to break down the barriers of hatred and hostility between the respective 'tard camps'
I feel I may have exhausted my insights on this subject, so I don't know how active I'll be, but you have my moral support. Keep fighting the good fight!
In closing, I'll just do some publicity for Chicaratamura's vid (hopefully she doesn't mind), surely one of the first of its kind. Maybe she'll see this thread, and join in

That's always nice to hear, A.
Have to admit I've given up on trying to separate the respective tard camps - it's irrefutable indeed. The only option left is starting one's own.

Ah, very nice. Bit too 'sappy' perhaps for the masses, but me doesn't mind that for a bit. Yeah, Chica was one of the first ever Fedal fans who raised her voice () but I don't think she ever dared set foot on MTF. Understandably so - most Fedal fans remain in hiding. Sad, though.
Fedal Fans UNITE! :D
