I'm British living in the UK, and I'm a die hard Philadelphia Union fan. America and Canada have 2 sorts of fans. You have the fake fan who turns up for two weeks when a fading star turns up at LA, and you have teams like Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Vancouver, and Montreal who have fans that were brought by their grandparents and will bring their grandkids. There are so many UK and Eire MLS fans who caught on as Sky started to price UK fans out of footy.

It’s wild how sports rivalries differ in different regions in the US. Every region has their big rivalries that are almost always in different sports

I’m a Sounders fan and it’s funny how the timber’s won first but now we have 2 and they only have 1

There’s nothing like a full-stadium Portland vs Seattle game at CenturyLink stadium with 67,000 screaming Sounders fans. Well except maybe MLS Cup 2019 where they managed to pack in more fans than the stadium has even seen for the Seahawks American football. Deafening!

Complete bullshit you have a hard time accepting that nobody outside your yuppie little bubble, even cares of the MLS exist in the Pacific Northwest.

Love this, also, 5 straight years of Cascadia teams (Seattle-Portland-Vancouver) reaching the MLS cup Finals 2015 - Portland (win) 2016 - Seattle (win) 2017 - Seattle (loss) 2018 - Portland (loss) 2019 - Seattle (win) Vancouver, come on and represent! As I write seattle and portland are at the top of the western conference, both poised to advance to the final. What is cool about this is that the three way rivalry is intense and runs deep. My dad recounts the rivalry as it stood when he was a teen. One of the other things to mention is that seattle and portland have some of the larger capacities when it comes to fans in stands in MLS. Seattle is regularly 45,000 but can expand to 65,000, Portland plays in a stadium built 95 years ago that holds 25,000 and is always packed (well outside covid), if they could seat more they would.

And then Seattle goes into their 3rd MLS final in 4 years and win their 2nd MLS Cup in 2019. All 3 finals were matched against Toronto. As of today they are tied for first place in the Western Conference with Portland and with games still need to be played today.

Although is not updated look up NHL Rivals: Boston Bruins versus Pittsburgh Penguins. This rivalry was due to multiple incidents in the late 1970s to 1980s which all boil to a head in the 1991 Prince of Wales Conference Finals when a controversial hit took this boiling feud to the max.

Portland vs Seattle has the biggest rivalry history in US Soccer and San Jose Earthquakes vs LA Galaxy has the most history within MLS alone. The league is kinda trying to forget about it to focus on Galaxy vs LAFC for marketing, and also cause the Quakes are awful now sadly, even though Galaxy and SJ fans will all say its the real rivalry in California. Would be cool to see you react to the video from the MLS channel called "The Greatest Playoff Game Ever" for an example of both old MLS (it was in 2003) and to see the big moment of that rivalry.

Wow! I’m a huge Sounders fan and just discovered your page and this is great... you could react to the history of Man U. They have vids. The history of your squad is insane with the early history, the wars, and the crash plus Ronaldo fack

As a galaxy fan, our rivalry with LAFC is new, but also an extension of an older rivalry with a team no longer around, Chivas USA, which was also in LA and played in the same stadium as the Galaxy. When Chivas USA was failing in 2014 they were bought, and then rebranded as LAFC. A lot of Galaxy fans call LAFC "Chivas USA 2.0", so in a way, our rivalry is both old and young.

I've watched your Lillard and Blazers (others too) videos so was glad to see you react to the Timbers/Sounders.

The greatest rivalry in NA is America vs Chivas my friend. In Mexico. We are part of North America

There are many "rivalries" in MLS that just exist because the teams are close. I'm a Columbus Crew fan and for years our rivals were Chicago and Toronto simply because they were the closest to us. Now we have an in state rival with cincy. It's not perfect but its better than our others. Portland and Seattle seem to be the biggest true rivalry that wasn't created by just placing teams near each other.

Watching this now and smiling cause we (Seattle) now have a trophy that the twigs will never get...Concacaf Champions League

Too bad nobody outside your yuppie bubble even cares the MLS exists

Because of cultural, historical, and political ties to Europe, a lot of people expect MLS to reflect that. The truth is that the league as a whole has a bit more of a Latin American flavor to it. The main reasons are proximity to Mexico and a large percentage of the fan base being first or second generation Latino. Obviously, regional North American culture also enters into the equation. I'm excited about being an MLS fan. The quality is rapidly improving and the value of the clubs themselves is skyrocketing. The most valuable clubs are worth $500 million. That's not much compared to European clubs or other American sports franchises. But the rate of value appreciation is staggering. Year-to-year increases of 20%-25% are the norm. Of course, that's not sustainable growth. At some point, we must implement pro/rel. The thing to watch is actually the second division, the USL Championship. There are large cities with money, strong local support, and good talent who want in. With 30 teams in MLS, 36 in the second division, and a similar number in the third division (actually composed of 2 leagues), an overhaul of the league structure must happen... and it will, over the objections of MLS ownership.

I recommend checking out El Traffico and Hell is Real Derby

The biggest Timbers/Sounders match of all time will always be the next one.

If you look at the Western Conference standings right now, both teams are tied for first. Highest level rivalry

LAFC is actually a continuation of the old franchise in LA, Chivas USA.

Now that FCC is in the MLS one of my favorite things is that Hell Is Real trends on twitter every time they play the Crew. I love seeing the tweets from people who have no clue about the Ohio soccer rivalry or Ohio billboards

You should watch a video from the "Making the Case" series by Clayton Crowley, it discusses who the GOAT of basketball is and will teach you a lot about the history of the league's best players

Fun fact, Portland Timbers' stadium is literally baseball stadium from the 1890s in some form. It was officially completed on 1926. Which was stopped as a baseball stadium in 2000. Obviously, the stadium had been upgraded, and renovated over the years. EDIT: there's a comment more history of the stadium
