New to the channel… really enjoy it. Apologies if this has been asked and answered before but I was curious which English football team the two of you are supporters of?
Seattle v Portland is definitely the best MLS rivalry. There was a hot minute in the late 2010s when LAFC v LA Galaxy arguably had more juice to it, but the history in the Pacific Northwest is undeniable. As a NYCFC fan, I dream of a day when our rivalry with Red Bulls means half as much.
I'm from Portland, currently living in Chicago. The only time in my adult life I've even come close to fighting someone was after I'd gone with the timbers army to Seattle. Years later and miles away, I still bristle if anyone says they're from Seattle. Our rivalry goes deeper than sports. The cities just hate each other.
One thing is about Seattle and Portland is that they currently don't have any other major pro sports rivalries. Since the Sonics left in '08 Portland doesn't have an MLB, NFL, or NHL team like Seattle does so MLS is where the cities duke it out. Even at the collegiate level Washington-Oregon is the big rivalry but only UW is in Seattle. UO is a few hours south of Portland.
Besides the history and matchday atmospheres, one of the greatest things about the rivalry is that these two teams have often been amongst the strongest in the league. To put things in perspective, last season was the first time in eight years that a team besides Portland or Seattle represented the West in the Cup final.
About the You Are My Sunshine song for the Timbers, to this day they still sing it and have the trumpet guide the singing in the 80th minute of every single home game. It’s incredible.
I live in Portland and this is the biggest MLS rivalry in my opinion. The teams are good, the fan bases are rabid, and the cities are close enough together to be rivals in more than one way.
I was in the stands for the 1st Sounders home game in 1974, and still a season ticket holder 50 years later (Next year anyway). It's been a hell of a ride and then Portland rivalry has made it that much more fun.
Providence Park was not built for baseball. It was retrofitted for baseball in the mid/late 20th century, and the baseball field was removed in the 2000s
Loved the video guys. The Sounders have a massive following up here in Seattle. Game day for the Sounders is equivalent to that of the Seahawks. Any video about the Sounders permits me another opportunity to remember a good friend and colleague. A colleague of mine who passed a way back in 2013 had collected every piece of Sounders memorabilia since their original founding in the early 70's, and had an agreement with the organization to donate it all back to them upon his death. It was a sizable and valuable collection. He and his dad were Day 1, season ticket holders, which Barney maintained all of is adult life. The Sounders were his passion and his heart beat for them. He frequently wore their gear to work. RIP Douglas "Barney" LaFleur. Who says Americans don't care about soccer! ♠
Something to note about the rivalry that happens in this match that has become a legendary goal reaction. At 18:24 in this video, Timbers Legend, Rodney Wallace does the epic “Gut the Fish” celebration. If you go back and watch, he does the motion of slashing a fish’s throat and gutting it. Still talked about to this day. Great video about the greatest MLS derby.
Great to see you guys check this out, I've supported the sounders for over a decade now. The cascadia cup matches have always been my favorite to see at the stadium.
You have to understand that culturally the Pacific Northwest is known for being a very “hippie friendly” location. So a counter-cultural sport like Soccer is very popular in that region. Also in terms of MLS Derbies there haven’t been many that are close enough to really make it a Derby until very recently with the addition of more teams in the MLS. The newest ones are LAFC v LA Galaxy (El Traffico), Orlando v Miami, NY Ref Bulls v NYCFC, Sporting KC v St. Louis, Austin v Dallas, and Cincinnati v Columbus.
FC Cincinnati v. Columbus Crew is known as the "Hell is Real" Derby because of a couple of fire-and-brimstone Christian-themed highway signs along Interstate Highway 71, connecting the two cities.
About the cascadia cup; the rivalry between Portland and Vancouver isn’t quite as intense as the one with Seattle, but it’s still pretty crazy. A couple years ago I was at a Portland Vs. Vancouver match and one of the Vancouver defenders tackled one of our midfielders about 10 seconds after the final whistle was blown, then claimed he didn’t hear it (total bullshit). On my way out of the stadium there were many fights and arguments between supporters, it was awesome.
The entire history of the Seattle Sounder Portland Timbers rivalry is fascinating. Seattle was Founded in 1974 in the NASL,, the Timbers a year latter, the rest is history, they have hated each other since, heck MLS was the same, Seattle joined in 2010, Portland in 2011. Also Portland's homefield is a converted Minor League baseball stadium. After the Baseball team moved out, they converted it into a Soccer-Specific Stadium. The only teams now that still ground share with other sports are New England Revolution (Share Gillete Stadium with the New England Patriots of the NFL), Atlanta United (Share Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the Atlanta Falcons of the NFL, the stadium was built with this ground share in mind) Seattle Sounders (Lumin Field also hosts the Seahawks of the NFL)Vancouver Whitecaps (Share BC Place with BC Lions of the Canadian Football League) and Toronto FC (BMO Stadium was originally purpose built only for Toronto FC, but the Toronto Argonaughts Canadian Football team decided to move in, and the Stadium was renovated to fit CFL standards).
The Cascadia Cup is based on regular season games, they don't play a separate tournament. This is why the players take part, it's just part of the regular season for bragging rights.
It's probably still the fiercest MLS rivalry in my estimation although LA Galaxy vs. LAFC has quickly climbed the ranks. The Supporters Shield, given to the team in all of MLS with the most points earned in the league regular season, was also created by and still funded by the various league supporters groups. As for the Cascadia Cup, the points for it are accumulated through the course of the normal regular season MLS games that the teams play between each other so they have no trouble getting up for those games beyond the cup.
Now I know that these two teams exist. Thanks fellas! Educating me on US sports when once I was able to educate you, ah the good old days 😂 Edit after watching the vid: holy shit, this is awesome.
This is one of my favorite things for everyone to see when learning about the MLS, because it instantly debunks one of the greatest American soccer myths…that American soccer has no culture, history, or atmosphere.
By far the most classic and fiercest of the rivalries in the MLS. LAFC vs LA Galaxy is very new in comparison but catching up closely in atmosphere and ferocity.
Portland Seattle is probably not just the biggest rivalries in the MLS but probably the biggest in North American soccer you guys need to check out more videos about this rivalries history
Portland vs Seattle is the fiercest, and Oldest, Rivalry in the MLS. the rivalry dates all the way back to the North American Soccer League (NASL) America's first go at pro soccer in the 70s. i think the Sounders joined MLS first, then the Timbers, and they (Portland Timbers) brought their longtime heated rivalry with them.
the Cascadia Cup isnt a separate thing from the MLS season. Those three teams don't compete against each other outside of the league for it, just whoever has the most points after the regular season wins for that year.
Other fun tidbit: the Sounders and the Seahawks both use that neon green color. Kind of neat for a city with multiple pro teams. I know the Pittsburgh teams (Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates) all use the same team colors. Atlanta's teams are kind of red.
The Steelers were founded by Pirates players, ergo the color commonality. The Penguins initially wore sky blue until someone figured out that real penguins are black and white with some having bits of yellow and said "Oh!".
I dont know if you guys are aware but a cfb game will be in ireland. The 26th “Notre dame vs Navy” Notre dame is one if the biggest schools and very Irish while navy isnt as strong now a-days but has a rich tradition
The original Seattle Sounders began play in the old North American Soccer League (1968-1985) in 1974, and folded in 1983. The original Portland Timbers played in the NASL 1975-1982. A new Seattle Sounders began play in 1994 in the American Professional Soccer League, which later became the USL A-League/First Division, until 2008. In 2009, the current Seattle Sounders FC began play in MLS. In 2001, a new Portland Timbers began play in USL Division 2 and played It's final season in 2010. The current Portland Timbers began MLS play in 2011. The current MLS teams and their fans are the inheritors of this rivalry that began 48 years ago and continued with subsequent teams across three leagues.
That US Open Cup game with the three red cards from 2015 is known as the "Red Card Wedding" up here in Seattle as a reference to Game of Thrones and as a reminder of the low point in our rivalry with the Timbers (and also the worst refereed match in team history as well).
There's a really good one about the NYC Derby also the Hudson River Derby. While it does not have the history that this one does, it is an interesting look into how quickly tribalism can occur simply when a new team is introduced into an area with an already existing club. It also plays a lot on the regional dynamics of the NYC area, and is more MLS content. So if you liked this one it is probably worth checking out.
I'm 1 of the few who's actually been in all 3 stadiums & I only moved to Portland less than 6 years ago.. AAR, here's some more context for you lads. Of the cities who kept their nicknames from the old North American Soccer League all 4 are on the Pacific Coast from Canada to California. If San Jose had initially kept its original NASL name (the Earthquakes) when they started out as 1 of the original 12 MLS teams, we'd probably be talking about the Coastal Cup as opposed to the Cascadia Cup. Team brass chose the Clash as the nickname instead. That team would later move to Houston & become the Dynamo.
I’m a super casual MLS fan and I believe the Timber-Sounders rivalry to be the toughest in the league. I’m sure there could be other rivalries, but you don’t hear about them like SEA and POR
It’s the best rivalry hands down. And to be honest…..unlike some other MLS derbies, these teams (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver) have legit history going back 50 years. It’s not manufactured.
There are a few more current vids of this rivalry. It is the longest rivalry but MLS wants badly to create competition in LA/NY and now Miami/ATL & Chicago There's over 30 teams in MLS now so this rivalry gets less attention than it did just a few years back. Portland's stadium has been expanded since & each have won at least one MLS championship. Look up the more current videos. They have more game clips!
So as to placement, Seattle is pretty frequently near the top of the table, Portland not as frequently. Also, as a Man U fan for Premier League, one of my favorite bits of this rivalry are some of the chants. Seattle has some knockout punches imo 😂
Here's a better video: ua-cam.com/video/USUFGnNHUTs/v-deo.htmlsi=CfNibiIYBiGDlt-U It includes the "48 seconds" celebration. Levesque's celebration is so iconic that the Baby Sounders (U15s I think) re-enacted it in their recent win against the Baby Timbers. The current Sounders coach - Brian Schmetzer started as a player for the Sounders in the 80's
…..The city of Seattle always have great fans for their home sports teams. Im not from Seattle but NBA bring back the Supersonics they deserve their team back.
Can someone please explain why English people call it Darby and not derby when it's their language and they made the rules and the word. Why spell it with a ER if you and all the people in that country despite the different acce ts that exist just inside the uk do they all pronounce it with a AR?
I'm sure this rivalry is only intensified by the fact that this is the only major sport where both cities have a team. Seattle has an NFL, MLB, and NHL team. Portland has NBA, but Seattle doesn't.
No rivalry in the United States or canada has more history than this one, and that makes it the best!!! The second best in terms of intensity I’d have to say is Hell is Real Derby between Columbus Crew and FC Cincinnati.
Only fanbase in the league that I hate. Only 2 times in my years of going to games have I almost been hit by away fans throwing objects. (my seats are below the away fans who sit in the upper deck) Once was in the Concacaf champions league final after we scored the third goal to seal up a win against Pumas. The other time when a Timbers fan came about a foot away from hitting a mother and newborn baby with a full beer can right behind me after a Portland goal.
As a Timbers fan, as much as it pains me, this is the goal celebration, if you haven't seen it yet ua-cam.com/video/USUFGnNHUTs/v-deo.htmlsi=jCzV53Ud-SkPvP_Q&t=231
The rest of the league doesn’t have the history. Lafc vs La galaxy is only 3 years old. It’s just different here. The rest of the country dosent have the passion because they have other sports baseball, American football. In portland vs Seattle there is no other sport where they both compete on a professional level.
FYI..You're audience is not interested in soccer.. MLS has fifth tier American athletes..Stick to what we call the big 4..American football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. You could throw in someboxing too.. We have zero interest in soccer..
@@megadev9099 Soccer is boring..it seems like every game is 1-0.. I can't take it when they get barely bumped, then fall on the ground and cry..It's a good sport for Euro's but Americans need more than soccer or Rugby...
@@michaelb.3982 Sure, but there are Americans with opinions other than yours. Considering that DN have mentioned that a large portion of their Discord is from Seattle, I would expect at least some of that group to be interested in a video about a long-standing rivalry involving their city, soccer or not.
@megadev9099 Fifth tier athletes..Fifth tier fans.. I'll take a Steelers/ Ravens rivalry over that any day,and I live out west.. No connection to either city..just enjoy the rivalry.
Portland the winner of multiple MLS cup championships, Seattle MLS champions themselves. The question of is this the best rivalry? Absolutely nothing comes close in American soccer!! Guys it's literally something you have to witness to believe. Go Timbers Army❤❤❤❤ ok I'm leaving my mistake In my comment 🤣😂🤣 I got the championship totals for Portland mixed up. Timbers one and thorns two. And if I got Seattle mixed up? I don't give a fck🤣😂🤣

Easily the best rivalry in the MLS with the most history.
No Doubt!
It's not close at all. Galaxy vs LAFC is so new in comparison
California Clasico between the Galaxy and Earthquakes has had some of the most exciting games in MLS history...
What about Montreal vs Toronto? Feel like thats across all sports ngl
@@Ares14facts. But still not on the same level. Seattle & Portland about 2 hours closer too.
Seattle v Portland is definitely the best MLS rivalry. There was a hot minute in the late 2010s when LAFC v LA Galaxy arguably had more juice to it, but the history in the Pacific Northwest is undeniable. As a NYCFC fan, I dream of a day when our rivalry with Red Bulls means half as much.
I'll say it over and over again, "El traffico" is as organic as fast food lol.
I'm from Portland, currently living in Chicago.
The only time in my adult life I've even come close to fighting someone was after I'd gone with the timbers army to Seattle.
Years later and miles away, I still bristle if anyone says they're from Seattle. Our rivalry goes deeper than sports. The cities just hate each other.
Anyone who tells you that "El traffico" is bigger than this just started watching MLS yesterday lol.
One thing is about Seattle and Portland is that they currently don't have any other major pro sports rivalries. Since the Sonics left in '08 Portland doesn't have an MLB, NFL, or NHL team like Seattle does so MLS is where the cities duke it out. Even at the collegiate level Washington-Oregon is the big rivalry but only UW is in Seattle. UO is a few hours south of Portland.
Hopefully Seattle gets an expansion NBA team so the Sonics can be reborn.
Sonics-Blazers was a great rivalry for a lotta years
Its not pro sports but there is a damn fierce rivalry in the WHL between all the washington and oregon teams
Besides the history and matchday atmospheres, one of the greatest things about the rivalry is that these two teams have often been amongst the strongest in the league. To put things in perspective, last season was the first time in eight years that a team besides Portland or Seattle represented the West in the Cup final.
Portland v Seattle is the #1 derby in MLS and it isn't really close.
Not even kind of close. I don't want to hear anything about "El traffico" lol.
About the You Are My Sunshine song for the Timbers, to this day they still sing it and have the trumpet guide the singing in the 80th minute of every single home game. It’s incredible.
I live in Portland and this is the biggest MLS rivalry in my opinion. The teams are good, the fan bases are rabid, and the cities are close enough together to be rivals in more than one way.
The game where Dempsey tore up the book has been christened the Red Card Wedding.
I was in the stands for the 1st Sounders home game in 1974, and still a season ticket holder 50 years later (Next year anyway). It's been a hell of a ride and then Portland rivalry has made it that much more fun.
Sounders getting dog walked this year again. New logo looks like yall wanna be Timbers so bad #Fishgutted
Providence Park was not built for baseball. It was retrofitted for baseball in the mid/late 20th century, and the baseball field was removed in the 2000s
It’s the top rivalry hands down. And I’m from Texas/Louisiana. No bias, nothing else comes close.

Chicago fire, Charlotte FC, New York City FC also stadium share. When San Diego joins, they will be sharing a stadium with San Diego State football.
20:38 Broadcaster was probably a Timbers fan and didn’t want everyone to see it hahaha
yes there is a Cup involved the Cascadia Cup, contested between the Sounders, the Timbers, and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
It is THE MLS rivalry. I don't support either team but I tune in when they play.
The Cascadia Cup is based on regular season games, they don't play a separate tournament. This is why the players take part, it's just part of the regular season for bragging rights.
It's probably still the fiercest MLS rivalry in my estimation although LA Galaxy vs. LAFC has quickly climbed the ranks.

Cincinnati FC vs Columbus Crew
“Hell is real ” Darby .
Really good info and rivalry…
The Sounders fist destroying their rivals badge was the controversy.
Other fun tidbit: the Sounders and the Seahawks both use that neon green color. Kind of neat for a city with multiple pro teams.
I know the Pittsburgh teams (Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates) all use the same team colors. Atlanta's teams are kind of red.
The Steelers were founded by Pirates players, ergo the color commonality. The Penguins initially wore sky blue until someone figured out that real penguins are black and white with some having bits of yellow and said "Oh!".

Next one🙃. Love the content buds
Thank you Nick!
There's a really good one about the NYC Derby also the Hudson River Derby. While it does not have the history that this one does, it is an interesting look into how quickly tribalism can occur simply when a new team is introduced into an area with an already existing club. It also plays a lot on the regional dynamics of the NYC area, and is more MLS content. So if you liked this one it is probably worth checking out.
Make sure you do a reaction to my Union beating Miami and Messi tomorrow night in the Leagues Cup 😉
I tried searching but couldn’t find anything 😂😜

This is pre MLS! Most of the others in the league are Wannabe, that are being manipulated. This is Organic.
It’s the best rivalry hands down. And to be honest…..unlike some other MLS derbies, these teams (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver) have legit history going back 50 years. It’s not manufactured.
These matches are part of the MLS Schedule.
Toronto fc vs Montreal impact is a good rivalry too.
Need to watch the "double post" game as well.
That game was nuts. Portland vs Sporting KC, 2015 MLS playoffs
There are a few more current vids of this rivalry. It is the longest rivalry but MLS wants badly to create competition in LA/NY and now Miami/ATL & Chicago
There's over 30 teams in MLS now so this rivalry gets less attention than it did just a few years back.
Portland's stadium has been expanded since & each have won at least one MLS championship. Look up the more current videos. They have more game clips!
To be fair, this is the only sport that both cities have a team.
Cascadia Cup, and then probably El Traffico
It doesn't matter what the sport or competition, if there's teams from Seattle and Portland involved, its war.
Same goes for Toronto and Montrèal.
So as to placement, Seattle is pretty frequently near the top of the table, Portland not as frequently. Also, as a Man U fan for Premier League, one of my favorite bits of this rivalry are some of the chants. Seattle has some knockout punches imo 😂
Damn, those may be the oldest surviving MLS teams. At least 20 years older than the league according to this

#1 derby is Toronto vs Montreal… it is cultural, political, historical
TFC vs fka Impact, 2016 MLS Cup semi-final series. The 2nd match that made Benoit Cheyrou legend in Toronto is still very memorable among TFC fans.
We call that match "Red Card Wedding". #RCTID
El Classico is a great rivalry too
This is the ONLY real MLS rivalry.
The other rivalry to check out is Cincinnati and Columbus
Can someone please explain why English people call it Darby and not derby when it's their language and they made the rules and the word. Why spell it with a ER if you and all the people in that country despite the different acce ts that exist just inside the uk do they all pronounce it with a AR?
Well they also have words like Worcestershire and Thames, so I think Derby is the least of your problems.
Gut the fish, RCTID!!
I'm sure this rivalry is only intensified by the fact that this is the only major sport where both cities have a team. Seattle has an NFL, MLB, and NHL team. Portland has NBA, but Seattle doesn't.
Yes, it is the fiercest. And oldest.
It’s the fiercest and the oldest, both clubs predate mls
whats a darby?
Derby day today, let's go Bers
No rivalry in the United States or canada has more history than this one, and that makes it the best!!! The second best in terms of intensity I’d have to say is Hell is Real Derby between Columbus Crew and FC Cincinnati.
I mean that’s absolutely untrue. Maybe in soccer, but in basketball, baseball, football, I can name many rivalries with more history
Timbers recent tifos have been head and shoulders above anyone in MLS
First one W vid

Only fanbase in the league that I hate. Only 2 times in my years of going to games have I almost been hit by away fans throwing objects. (my seats are below the away fans who sit in the upper deck) Once was in the Concacaf champions league final after we scored the third goal to seal up a win against Pumas. The other time when a Timbers fan came about a foot away from hitting a mother and newborn baby with a full beer can right behind me after a Portland goal.
#1 Rivalry in MLS, and one of the biggest in US Sports. Suck Feattle! RCTID!
Sounders!
Seattle> Portland.
Please come to a match in person right before you cover the World Cup in 2026!
If we had the funds then we would do!
As a Timbers fan, as much as it pains me, this is the goal celebration, if you haven't seen it yet ua-cam.com/video/USUFGnNHUTs/v-deo.htmlsi=jCzV53Ud-SkPvP_Q&t=231
The rest of the league doesn’t have the history. Lafc vs La galaxy is only 3 years old. It’s just different here. The rest of the country dosent have the passion because they have other sports baseball, American football. In portland vs Seattle there is no other sport where they both compete on a professional level.
and yet neither won cascadia cup last year. whitecaps >>>
I hate Will Johnson.
I bet this sets your record for lowest views..
Easiest video to skip through!
FYI..You're audience is not interested in soccer.. MLS has fifth tier American athletes..Stick to what we call the big 4..American football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.
You could throw in someboxing too..
We have zero interest in soccer..
Also being part of this channel's audience, I disagree.
@@megadev9099 Soccer is boring..it seems like every game is 1-0..
I can't take it when they get barely bumped, then fall on the ground and cry..It's a good sport for Euro's but Americans need more than soccer or Rugby...
@@michaelb.3982 Sure, but there are Americans with opinions other than yours. Considering that DN have mentioned that a large portion of their Discord is from Seattle, I would expect at least some of that group to be interested in a video about a long-standing rivalry involving their city, soccer or not.
@megadev9099 Fifth tier athletes..Fifth tier fans.. I'll take a Steelers/ Ravens rivalry over that any day,and I live out west..
No connection to either city..just enjoy the rivalry.
Portland the winner of multiple MLS cup championships, Seattle MLS champions themselves. The question of is this the best rivalry? Absolutely nothing comes close in American soccer!! Guys it's literally something you have to witness to believe.
Go Timbers Army❤❤❤❤ ok I'm leaving my mistake In my comment 🤣😂🤣 I got the championship totals for Portland mixed up. Timbers one and thorns two. And if I got Seattle mixed up? I don't give a fck🤣😂🤣
Uhhhh Portland only has 1 MLS Cup win, Seattle have 2.
