Yesterday in the state of Maryland, students of the American military academy West Point attended a football game in which their team was defeated by the naval academy's team 27-21. Nicknamed 'Army vs. Navy', the university match has taken place every year since 1890.
Les élèves de l'académie militaire américaine de West Point ont assisté, avant-hier dans le Maryland, à la défaite de leur équipe de football face à celle de l'academie navale (27-21). Baptisé "Army vs. Navy", ce match universitaire se tient chaque année depuis 1890.
Yes, the football game between the army military academy and the naval military academy in our country is nicknamed, wait for it...wait for it: 'Army vs. Navy'.
(The word 'nicknamed' literally means 'baptized', but is used in much broader sense than English-speakers use 'baptize'. You could maybe just say 'named'. But I translated it 'nickname' here because that's how I understood it when I read it this morning. It would make more sense if they said the OU vs. Texas was nicknamed the 'Red River Rivalry'.)
