Have the creators of this survey watched any Sounders v. RSL match in the last 3-4 years? Just as significant to the western conference standings as a game against LA and almost as physical and gritty as a game against the Timbers. I know I'm pushing for the Sounders to dominate this list, but recent history shows that both teams are top notch and they hate each other.
Also, I agree that it's ridiculous to claim that any match up with the expansion teams would be a rivalry match already.

Which smart guy/girl decided to come up with this list when there is nothing listed about toronto vs vancouver or toronto vs montreal or montreal vs vancouver............
REALLY?
Just think, for like a minute and so many good things will happen. Please.

Geniuses,
There is clearly a big blue link above the poll for the main rivalries! Not the best format chosen by whatever creative minds thought up this poll but it's there in front of your faces.
Read a bit.

How can there be a rivalry with an expansion team? What a dumb list.

RBNY is on here three times and none vs. DC United? Does this poll even know real rivalries? No RBNY fan thinks Philly is a rivalry.

Thank you MLS for finally realizing that San Jose/Cascadia is not a rivalry.

The sports team from my geographic area is superior to the sports team from your geographic area.
Of the 10 rivalries in the original list, 8 involve LA, Seattle, NYRB, or Toronto.
Is this a rivalries list, or the allocation order for big-name talent coming into the league?

Dear idiots,
This poll is for the best of the REST (i.e., not the ones that were left off the main poll). Click the link above this poll. You'll find Toronto-Montreal, Dallas-Houston, Seattle-Vancouver, Seattle-Portland, D.C.-NYRB. Let's hope none of you vote in an actual election (or reproduce).
Signed,
Everyone else who was smart enough to figure it out

So Dallas-Houston not on the list? Él Capitan? Are you kidding?

SKC vs Houston was a good one for a couple years! But I'd say SKCvsRSL has credence!
Ben, we are Kansas City! Not "Kansas". If in America, get with it man!

East Coast by us having New York matched up with so many teams and not talking about RSL vs Kansas City RSL vs LA Portland vs Seattle it's just a joke having New York with so many rivals this is soccer not the NFL there so many better rivalries out there without having a New York team attached to it open up your eyes and watch other teams besides New York whoever put this list together this list is just weak

Seriously SKC and RSL not on this list? Are you kidding? There have quite literally been blood spilled on this one. Not to mention (arguably) the best mls cup ever!

@Ben: Dallas-Chicago stems from when Dallas was called the Burn instead of FC Dallas. Someone got the idea that "Fire and Brimstone Cup" would be a great idea.

im pretty sure chicago considers Columbus or New England as rivals, not Dallas and Kansas

What about DC and New York?! There's a classic rivalry!

Why is there no option for Vancouver, Seattle, and Portlands?

RSL vs SKC... EASILY
This poll is just stupid. OCSC-NYCFC? For real???

Hey Jim - click the big blue link in the original article to vote TFC vs IMFC. The poll you just voted on was for "best of the rest".
you should add Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact. both cities cant stand each other which stems from all the hatred between the two hockey teams.....
