The greatest rivalry in MLS? The LA Galaxy say it's the California Clasico

What's the greatest rivalry in MLS today?

It's a pretty bold statement.


Although many typically turn to Cascadia when seeking out the greatest rivalry in MLS, the LA Galaxy are pretty sure that it lies a bit south. Although they're obviously biased, the Galaxy claim the California Clasico rules the roost when it comes to the rivalry department (see tweets below).



But it turns out it's a fact-based opinion: The Galaxy's Twitter feed cited the six MLS Cups in the history of the two clubs (Galaxy: '02, '05, '11, '12 / Earthquakes: '01, '03).


That's definitely one way to measure a rivalry. And the next chapter in that series is written on Sunday afternoon (3 pm ET, UniMas).


How do you think the Cali Clasico sizes up in the list of greatest rivalries in MLS? Time for you to chime in with your opinion in this debate.
