Oops we are all human aren't we! Instead of posting part two of the biggest MLS rivalries, I prematurely posted the best MLS players of all time part two.
Well anyway, here is part one of the biggest MLS rivalries of all time I posted a few days back. It featured the Hudson River derby which David Villa helped to fuel the rivalry.
It also featured the Mountain West giants of Real Salt Land and the Colorado Rapids who hate each others guts. Did you know the prize for the winner of Texas Derby between FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo? I kid you not, it's an old howitzer cannon. Yes, a cannon!
Anyway let's take a look at the correct part two right now with the next lot of biggest MLS rivalries.
6. Canadian Classique
One of the biggest MLS rivalries is between Toronto FC and CF Montreal. The Canadian clubs battle compete in the heated derby known as the Canadian Classique, Two Solitudes Derby or the 410 Derby. The two largest cities in Canada have always been rivals in sports so it's no surprise that they can't stand each other in Major League Soccer.

5. Hell is Real Derby
When FC Cincinnati joined the MLS in 2019 it helped create one of the biggest MLS rivalries with Columbus. The Hell is Real Derby, also known as the Ohio derby, is one of the newest rivalries in the league and is fast becoming one of the best.
The name originating from an Interstate 71 sign just south of Columbus which can be seen when driving toward Cincinnati. The sign reads "Hell is Real" and while intended to scare people into Christianity, it's inspired the name for one of the biggest growing rivalries in the MLS.

4. California Clásico
The LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes battle it out in the California Clásico, a battle between North and South California. Considered one of the most historical rivalries it's an intense one with fans often taunting each other with tifos and chants.
Fans are often separated by security during the game because of the intensity of the derby. In a sign that it is one of the biggest MLS rivalries, San Jose's home games are moved to Stanford Stadium as their home ground has an 18,000 capacity.

The Californian Rivalry sounds pretty cool! I like the name of San Jose, I can not tell why, but it sounds very powerful :D
Maybe the name is earthquakes and San jose the city name! 😂
I am aware that San Jose is the city and Earthquakes are the team's name. I jsut think that Earthquakes sounds verypowerful, but that is jsut an opinion :D
