incontro - scontro

I checked Garzanti and incontro, in the sense of scontro, it has translated with collision, but it doesn't sound good, isn't it? maybe clash is better
I hate the italian language! Why do we have to be so complicated?! I checked as well, the only translation is collision but I was wondering if in english there is a similiar expression to underline the opposition between incontro e scontro. Do you think I can just translate it with collision?
Hmmm... Telling you the truth, I don't like very much that collision! Do you really need to port exactly incontro-scontro? You could use a brainstorm, maybe?.. Or parts that are in contrast with them?
I thought of encounter-clash....then I googled it and I found that virtually any of the few hundreds sites retrieved are either something.it or bear some relation with Italy 
.
I reckon this can be conclusive evidence of it sounding Itaglish.

Well, in this case I'd like to use clash of cultures, it sounds good to me!
And, a more complicated cultures encounter on a collision course = le culture si incontrano su una rotta di collisione.

It's your choice, select which of them sounds better within the context!
