25 reasons RSL is better than SKC

RSL. SKC. The rivalry is legendary. I’m told that it first started at a preseason camp. It then intensified when RSL & SKC met in the MLS Cup Final where RSL lost in penalties on a frigid Kansas City December night.

As the two teams get ready to face off on Wednesday in the final group game of the #MLSisBack tournament, the RSL Soapbox staff helped me compile this list. Here are the reasons why RSL is better than SKC. Cheers!

  1. The better Besler
  2. Mountains
  3. No Benny Failhaber
  4. Massive coin collection
  5. A warmer location for a MLS Cup Final
  6. Never employed a bald man named Aurelien Collin
  7. Never employed someone named after a smores ingredient
  8. Had arguably the best goalkeeper in MLS history
  9. Was never named “The Wiz”
  10. Actually has a professional women’s team affiliate.
