In recent years, the Rocky Mountain rivalry has been dominated by our neighbors across the Continental Divide, Real Salt Lake. Unfortunately, this dominance continued at the MLS is Back tournament, with RSL comfortably beating the Rapids 2-0 in what turned out to be a very forgettable tournament for the Burgundy Boys.
Now, the MLS “regular season” is resuming and it’s been decided that the two scheduled matches will determine the 2020 Rocky Mountain Cup. (The games in Orlando did not count.)
Historically, RSL has controlled the Rocky Mountain Cup, leading the series 11-4 coming into 2020.
