And Crewligan thought there were no rivalries...Look at pitbull's shots at Cha'ston.
There's rivalries galore:

regional- Southern Derby, the Northwest trio, Richmond/Hampton Roads (rivals in everything) Toronto/Rochester

competitive- Richmond/Charleston, Minnesota/Rochester, last year's western division.

Is any MLS team's arch-rivals the Crew? I think the Crew's rivalries are their own meaning they don't work both ways.
"We hate XXXX" but XXXX coudn't care less about Columbus. (e.g they seem to have some hang-up with New England, but I don't think NE even gives a damn about them. It's just Columbus.)

At one point, DC United and the Crew had a good rivalry going. Then MLS moved Columbus to another division. But, this year, they are both in the same division so, perhaps, the rivalry will be renewed.

My .02, Dallas and Chicago have the Infereno Cup and now there is the DC/NY-NJ Atlantic cup. I'm sorry if the names are wrong, but I really don't follow MLS.

What are these fan cup compitions based on? The Grandaddy of them all - THE SOUTHERN DERBY BABY!

Not all of us. I've been a DC United fan since the first season, but I'm now going out and seeing my local Indiana Blast, and enjoying them thoroughly also.

Yes....now they can go home.....on the bus....
Hey would you like some pizza?
It looks just like a telefunken u-47

This whole MLS fans calling the A-League the "Second Division" or the "Minor League" drives me up the wall. They are two seperate entities, the exist in parallel. The Minor league in the USL is D-3. The MLS has no Minor league. They proclaimed themselves the major leage in their inception, they were not appointed as such by any major governing body. Therefor they are only Major League Soccer by name, not by right. The A-League is NOT the minor league, it is the Premiership of the USL. The only reason the MLS manages to have better skilled teams is they have more money to work with. IMO the whole MLS league structure is a joke, I mean come on, the two teams in the final last year were both owned by the same organization. There is what? 10 teams in it this year? thats about as sad as the SPL. I know this is an age old argument but hey, i'm never one for not opening my mouth and spewing forth a plethera of BS on some topic. Anyway, I give the MLS about 4 years before it crumbles to the ground. It was doomed from it's inception. I hope you MLS fans are prepared to start supporting your local A-League team, in the near future it will be the ONLY Major League Soccer in this country. For now it shares that status, Yes the A-League IS Major League Soccer, smaller teams, smaller budgets, smaller stadiums, but it's been around forever and will continue long after the "MLS" is defunct. The simple fact is that all of the major world leagues are built from long standing football clubs who decided to get together and form an organization or league, not an organization or league that gets together and starts a bunch of clubs. THe idea of this itself goes against the foundations of football structure around the world. It won't work, it doesn't work, it cannot succeed. Baseball, Pointyball, basketball, hockey, in this country all started the way the world football organizations started. You ask me the MLS will dribble to the 6 yard box only to be dispossesed by some 6'3" veteran defender with USL on the back of his shirt who will cooly clear the ball into touch just before the final whistle.

A few more

Toronto - Montreal

Montreal and Rochester... well before Montreal folded for one year. These two teams hated each other at one point.

This might be too old to still catch crewlligan on these forums, but me, my wife, and two sons are A league fanatics. MLS is not real football, it's corporate America at it's worst. The real rivalries are here, and that's because the rivalries have had time to develop.
Nice league!
