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