Happy MLS Rivalry Week. In celebration, we recommend you use as many MLS-sponsored products as possible this week: drive an Audi, drink some Heineken, educate yourself at Southern New Hampshire University and do whatever you do with Advocare. Maybe even misuse the Audi Player Index, to help let us know that Jerome Thiesson is a much better player than Diego Valeri.
There are only three legit rivalries being played this week, the core three: the Texas Derby (Houston-Dallas), the Hudson River Derby (NYCFC-NYRB) and the Cascadia Clash (Seattle-Portland). They’re on UniMas, Big FOX and ESPN, in that order.
