HANOVER, N.J. – The magnitude ferocity of rivalries tend ebb and flow over time, but the fiercest of derbies have always had their fair share of history.
On Sunday, the presence of Lloyd Sam should surely stoke the flames once again.
Over the years, there has been no shortage of classic matchups between New York and D.C. United. Cheatin’ Bob’s goalkeeper switch in 2003, The Snow Game in 2012, and Peguy Luyindula’s dominant 2014 Playoff performance are just some of the momentous occasions that have helped shape Major League Soccer’s most storied rivalry.
What makes this rivalry so unique boils down to more than just the epic battles that have taken place on the pitch, but also the litany of stars that have donned both kits.
