The San Jose Earthquakes and LA Galaxy have won a combined seven MLS Cups, but their once-great rivalry is sorely lacking as both struggle in 2018
As far as MLS derbies go, few have more history than the LA Galaxy-San Jose Earthquakes rivalry. Unfortunately, there is also no derby in the league that has lost more luster than this clash of multiple-time MLS Cup winners.
It has been a while since either team has looked like a legitimate title contender, and this year isn't much different. The Galaxy looked like they might turn things around with the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but instead find themselves struggling again.
