who's it gonna be?
Vancouver Whitecaps - Canadian rival in MLS
The KKKrew - Bill Archer's team
NYRB - our eliminators in 2009
doesn't matter what sport, it will always be Montreal
TFC's biggest rival 2011 edition
who's it gonna be?
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
If there ever was a fake, made up rival that is second to Columbus - it would be with Vancouver.
Just because they are Canadian, people assume they will be our rival. They live too far for us to hate them that much. We have never had a rivalry with them - NBA, NHL - why would we start now?
Montreal all the way IMO
the Vancouver thing is so made up... but I do love their 'Red Patch Plastics' tifo with blowup dolls.
and for the win... Tic tac tabernack

I dont care enough about Vancouver to like or dislike them. I'll just wish em luck and send em on their way....Montreal and Cbus on the other hand i cant stand!!
I voted Montreal but i think i hate cbus more!!
I would like to see a two-way rivalry, one where the other team cares about it, too. We lost that in hockey but maybe it can happen with Montreal in soccer.
In 2011 it will be Vancouver or Columbus ... manufactured or not, we don't like either of them and they feel that same about us. At the very least we would take great pleasure in beating both teams and seeing them crash and fall. That feeling is mutual.
But once Montreal is in the league all others will become secondary.
Impact FTW........

Greatest rival in 2011 will be Montreal in the Canadian championship....

never seen anybody every try and trumpet up when the grizzlies were still in vancity, why should i care about the whitecaps?
Other than Canadian MLS bragging rights this season, not much to the "rivalry" with Vancouver at all. Will always be Montreal.
It will always be Montreal, but Vancouver people REALLY don't like us.
Always Montreal!
NYRB wernt the elimnators. we shouldnt have let it get to the last game of the season.
We might not even play Montreal next year.Originally Posted by sully
yeah, but nobody really likes toronto outside of GTA...
vancouver 'rivalry'... lol.
i think i hate columbus more, but that's only because montreal girls are so hot, so it's hard for me to hate mtl as much
Years have gone by and Ive finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: A pretty move, for the love of God.
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I dont give a damn which team or country performs it.

are you kidding?
montreal helped us with the voyages cup.. twice!!
How about them chanting "never been to BMO" at TFC supporters in years past at Swangard? They seem to think that anyone out there that supports TFC is some trendy eastern wannabe. I don't see that as being manufactured by the league or FO (like C-bus).
C-bus is manufactured agreed. Vancity just doesn't exist.
Honestly, who really hates Vancouver from Toronto? There was never a rivalry in the NHL with the Canucks. There was never one in the NBA. Hell even in the NCC, the Montreal game was always seen as "The Big One"
As for the "never been to BMO" chant - is that really targeted toward TFC supporters or is it targeted to the wanna-be eastern posers?
The Columbus rivalry WAS manufactured. But the asshole local police and security and the douchebag supporters certified it as a bonafide rivalry. I genuinely hate the team and it's fanbase.
Columbus was manufactured, but it does exist now. After all, just look how much we hate them! Way more than a similar nowhere team like Kansas or Salt Lake.
but yeah.... Montreal and Toronto will be the biggest rivalry in the league. Portland and Seattle will come close, but not really. Vancouver will always be a 5th wheel.

#1 is Montreal. #2 is Columbus. Yes, sure, Columbus is a bit manufactored, but we've played them enough in our young history for me to see them as a rival. They're close to us, they hate us, we hate them, all of this adds up to a rivalry. However, not sure if they see us as much of a rival seeing as we can't beat them. I bet they love playing us: easy 3 points, or at least 1.
^ That's the one piece of evidence that does exist in putting Montreal above Columbus in terms of rivalry. Columbus has owned us. We've owned Montreal. Hence they have a hatred for us that makes for a good rivalry.
I don't think they differentiate. If there is a rivalry between Vancouver and Toronto then its real no matter how small. This has been the case before any suits decided to put a red shirt in their promo material which is what sets it apart from Columbus.
Me personally? I don't have any love for the city of Vancouver so I'm looking forward to getting into this one.
i suggest picking on a team that has absolutely nothing against anyone.
sporting kansas is for cunts!!
sure we do, just in the academy we do
there's what? two games right there.
HOME OR AWAY
that french team
Without question it is La Shite Province...
Montreal's rivalry with us has a long history and transcends all sports as it says in the poll. MLS is too new for anyone to care too much about those teams as rivalries and Vancouver is too far for anyone to care too deeply about that one but maybe if they start enough crap throughout the year with us we can learn to hate 'em.
+1. To date, Columbus has been the only girl at the dance. When Montreal arrives in 2012 it will be like Meagan Fox walking in.
...and then we will punch her in the mouth.
Just feels like Montreal.
Can we stop with the KKK and Columbus stuff. Or is this going to be drawn out forever, because of one idiot?
