The California Clasico — pitting the San Jose Earthquakes against the LA Galaxy since 1996 — has produced some amazing fixtures over the years. From MLS Cup finals and playoff battles to the epic summer showdowns at Stanford in recent seasons, the Quakes and their Southern California rival have rarely disappointed.
The intensity of the games on the field have been equally matched by the animosity of the supporters off it, with the San Jose Ultras up north and their counterparts Angel City Brigade in Los Angeles fueling the competition with tifo and chants that have always been memorable and, sometimes, a bit offensive.
