fun fact, from 2015 - 2021 it was only seattle or portland who represented the western conference in mls cup. it went portland (won), seattle (won), seattle ( lost), portland (loss), seattle (won), seattle (lost) and portland again (lost).

Fun fact about the Sounders is when they entered the MLS in 2009 they were forced to artificially reduce seating capacity for years because they were able to sell out the NFL stadium every week with about 60k but were only allowed 40k tickets to keep it "fair" which was stupid

The rivalry is so chaotic cause the cities are right next to each other(4 hour drive or so). Seattle has more mls cups so far(Sounders for life). I played goalie for my high school team (in the seattle area) and even just getting your hand on the ball to deflect it is such a great feeling. I also play forward so I know how to intimidate opponents lol. The PNW definitely has a strong soccer culture with this rivalry. I think the fact the Sounders play in the same stadium as the Seahawks makes all the sports franchises so much more connected in this city

This video only briefly shows the third red card given (to Clint Dempsey) during the US Open Cup match in 2015...known as the Red Card Wedding around here, Sounders finished the game with seven men. Dempsey's red card was for tearing up the referee's notebook. 😈 It was the craziest sporting event I've ever witnessed. Highlights: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpiYktmBtpPGlIE.html (it was even better in person)

This dates back to the old NASL. The league folded as a major professional entity decades ago (very early 1980s?). Timbers, Sounders, and Whitecaps are legacy teams from those days. NASL suffered from over-expansion and poor financial management, not quality. At one time, the league included Pelé, Johann Cruyff, Bobby Moore, Giorgio Chinaglia, and many, many other legendary players. I once read that the estimated value of New York Cosmos, if the players on that club were paid today's market value, would have been well over $1 billion. I began playing as a very young child in the mid-1970s. NASL games on television were mandatory at our house. Of course, given my age, Pelé was the only player I knew. Ergo, I declared myself a Cosmos fan without hesitation.

Seattle now have 2 to Portland's 1 MLS Cup.

for that playoff series with Portland, away goals did count. However, they only counted for regulation. Once regulation of both matches was over, away goals didn't count any more. They were tied on aggregate after regulation of the second leg, tied on away goals as well, so it went to extra time. However, away goals in extra time didn't count towards the tiebreaker. Thus they went to a shootout.

I hate Portland, but they're pretty much family, and I'm honored to have them as rivals. We've driven each other for the better part of 5 decades.

So many things to say about this. I live in Portland and with my family we have been season ticket holder’s since before Portland was part of the MLS. This video doesn’t even really do it justice! It is easily one of the greatest sports rivalry ever.

As a Sounders faithful, it pains me to say this, but if this video were made now it would include the absolute domination of the Timbers over the last 4 games. Including our banner unveiling match for winning the CCL. That was a painful day at Lumen Field. The Timbers section chanting F*** Seattle will always be seared in my heart.

Clint Dempsey. My favorite footballer. Sadly, I fell in love with the sport just as Clint moved from Fulham to Tottenham and the Spurs have been my club ever since. I'm so Spursy

This is a great local rivalry. Im from Portland and i love to hate the Sounders.

The Toronto-Montreal rivalry is really good too

PTFC fan here, and yep, this is accurate.

They should update this with the Sounders having won a 2nd 🏆 now and CONCACAF!

As a Timbers fan, I can confirm that both Seattle and Portland are in the heart of the American Soccer Mecca and whenever there is a match between the two, its insane. You've got to realize that Portland has both the Nike World HQ and the Addidas NA HQ. Not to mention it is probably one of the greatest talent pools for Womens football in the entire world with the Portland Pilots and the Thorns being a massive breeding ground for talent to feed the US Womens National team, who dominate the FIFA Womens World Cup. The atmosphere is about as close as you can get to European Football rivalries.

As an Orl City fan i can appreciate the Sounders ability to build a pretty big successful club with really quality players. We're on out way though so watch out.

that’s literally my dad waving the flag in the intro !!! “i’ve been a sounders fan since 1976” bro we got season tickets since 09. my dads name is on the seattle scarf on the side of our home stadium. sounders till i die. fuck portland. - bennie barnett

5:04 not anymore lmao. As of 2021 the totals stand: Seattle Sounders - 7 Vancouver Whitecaps - 6 Portland Timbers - 4 Seattle is also the first team to win it 3 straight years :D

Soccer is a big deal in the Pacific Northwest. In Seattle they fill up the Seahawks stadium.

The deal with the log and the chainsaw is that Timber Joey (Portland's lumberjack mascot) cuts a piece of the log off and gives it to each Timbers player for each goal they score, as well as one for the GK if he gets a clean sheet.

The Timbers cut a round off the log for each of their goals and presented to the scorer at the end of the match, one is also cut and given to the goalie for a shut out.

The sounders won another MLS cup in 2019

You posted this a year ago, and since then, Timbers have won 4 straight against Seattle, home and away. Combined goals of 11-4. You should go look for the videos of the latest of these on Apr 15, it was an incredible match, with fantastic goals.

The playoff match in this video I think away goals did count, but the 2nd leg went to extra time and I think they put away goals in the bin at that point because it's not fair if one team gets an additional 30 minutes to score more away goals.

This is a rivalry that has crossed leagues and sports. When Seattle had an NBA team the Sonics vs. Trailblazers was a fierce rivalry as well. As a Timbers fan, we take it personally and the players know it. They know how much this means to the fans. They play this one for us. I have family that are Sounders fans. It is a day that I don't talk to the them.

Late to the show. Nice reaction video and yes, Portland v Seattle is a genuine derby experience. The visceral disdain between the cities sports team goes back over 100 years through hockey (professional in many incarnations to the WHL now), baseball (PCL), basketball and of course association football. I don't intend to take away from your video by any means but if you get a chance check out Copa90's Battle of Cascadia doc from a few years ago. You'll really like the chainsaw even more. I didn't read many of the comments so this may have been mentioned but the log ceremony was started by the NASL Timbers "mascot" Timber Jim. He would cut a slab off for each goal and one for a clean sheet, then present them to the players after the match. Timber Joey has since taken over that role prior to the Timbers moving up to MLS when they were still in the 2nd division. Prost and again, really nice video

Portland and Seattle's hockey teams have a big rivalry as well. I love both cities; and Vancouver for that matter. Cascadia Forever!

I live kinda right in the middle of them on the Washington side of I-5 but I have always rooted for Portland teams when they played Seattle because I was born in Portland and it's a bit closer, so I've to more Trail Blazers and Timbers games than Sonics and Sounders. Seattle has always and will always be my NFL team though. As a blazers fan I hated the Sonics but when the MLS came around I had a hard time choosing sides because I have loyalties in both cities. I eventually just decided root for the underdog and cheer for whatever teams stadium I'm in. Vancouver, BC, Canada is great too, The Whitecaps. Big fan. That whole area up I-5 too the east and west we refer to as Cascadia... if you're from here. It's where the Cascade Mountains run. Amazing for sports fans. We don't have the most teams but our fans are amazing and when we're good, we're really good.

We did count away goals, but the last 2 goals were in extra time so away goals didn’t carry over for whatever reason

Add a Champions League title for the Sounders. Seeing the banner dropped Today! AGAINST Portland in Seattle.

Love the soccer reactions!

I requested this and I am so happy to see it

50th! The Sounders have been to four of the last five championship games, winning two. It's been a good time to be a fan.

Cascadia Cup is Rave Green

MLS playoffs begin in November. Maybe you can live stream your reaction when the Timbers eliminate the Sounders, as they have done in 3 of 4 previous playoff meetings. PTFC NO PITY

If there's anything you need to know about MLS, it's this: Never. And I mean never root for Portland. :)

One of these two teams has appeared in MLS Cup (as West Champ) for the last 6 consecutive years. (Yes, I know... Seattle is up 4-2). A terrific rivalry, good for our game. PTFC, NO PITY

Our rivalry is amazing. 💚💛 RCTID

I think the Cascadia Cup is the only trophy like it in the world, too.

The Sounders have had way more success than Portland in MLS: 4 Open Cup Trophies, 2 MLS Cups, 1 Supporters Shield, and a CCL Trophy.

12:00 So in the MLS, they do count away goals but away goals scored in extra time aren’t counted. For example Portland won 2-1 in Portland in the first leg, then Seattle took the game to extra time leading 2-1 in Seattle in the second leg. Now full time is 3-3 agg. Now if Portland scores another to make it 4-3 agg on extra time after the 90 minutes are up and Seattle ties the game to make it 4-4 agg then they go to penalties. If that makes sense

Please react to Sounders vs Pumas in the 2022 CCL (Champions League) Final.

The Sounders is just another reason that Washington state is THE BEST state in the union IMHO.

Late to the party again... But I really hope the newly minted Charlotte FC Vs Atlanta United becomes a rivalry like this!!! Go Queen City (CLT FC) As a old fat former USL Middle Defenseman that got beat out by the legend Alexi Lalas in Colorado Springs back in 1990 for a usmnt spot. I love this game!

So much of the hatred and vitriol between these teams come from the cities themselves, like the 3 cities in Cascadia are quite similar and so the rivalries date back to before statehood (mid 1800s). The PNW is also one of the places that has had soccer for some of the longest time in the US. Also, it'd be like 5 hours to drive from Vancouver to Portland (not including border traffic) and Seattle is almost exactly in the middle.

Also the Sounders (Timbers fans call them the Flounders, and refer to any home games vs them as “the fish fry”) have never beaten the Timbers in the playoffs, every time the Timbers play them in the playoffs, they knock them out.

4/5 years the Sounders have been to the MLS cup and they’ve won 2 of them. Good to see we’re above Portland and always will be

Eternal Blue, Forever Green, Sounders till I die! 💙💚⚽️💙💚 #EBFG

You boys wait for Cincinnati to get good and have that Hell is Real derby

It's so cool because whoever the timbers score they cut ✂️ a piece of trunk 🪵 but I'm a la galaxy fan so let's go Galaxy

Yet Seattle went to 4 mls cups won two and became first mls team to win concacaf .. suck it Portscum splinters!

Just want to throw it in there…Seattle have now won the champions league so they have that over Portland. Suck it Timbers!

Sup Beesley

Under normal circumstances, yes that scissor kick in a straight red. But it's against Seattle so f*** it, no call. :P

Just a friendly reminder to build your bonfires with the timbers at the top, the whitecaps in the middle and burn the fucking lot

If you still haven’t come to a match here you really should!

Sounders been winning ever since🔥🔥🙂

I live in Portland. Sounders Suck! The sawing of the logs is the best.

I am rewatching this some months later, you should react to the Sounders - Timbers match from August 15th, the final score was 6-2 and there were some absolute BANGERS.

We don't do aggregate anymore in domestic competition. I think its still there in US Open Cup

The greatest rivalry in North America is actually Club América vs Guadalajara Chivas

away goals counted but since is was extra time they didn't count

Charlotte United FC is on the way y'all!!!! I-85 Darby with Atlanta United is gonna take over in the next few years!

💙💚SSFC TILL I DIE💚💙

Champions League victories: SEA - 1 POR - 0.

This felt like a very pro-Portland video. Maybe because it was made before Seattle got it's second MLS Cup win. They should make a new one. One that is more balanced.

There is away goals

Seattle Sounders Is better than Portland Timbers

I live in Seattle and never really cared for soccer. I've only been to 1 sounders game. I feel a little guilty because it looks kind of fun, but i can't sit and watch a game. I love baseball and football though!

Please react to the LA Galaxy and LAFC rivalry. The LA Galaxy are a pillar that holds up the whole of MLS.

6-2🤫

I'd love to see your reaction to the most MENTAL penalty shootout ever! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsuEd8iD1cW-pn0.html

Nice video my friend! I'm up here in the Northwest, and Seattle/Portland is the best rivalry in the US, but let's not forget that Mexico is in North America, and there are bigger rivalries there for certain.

Do the company 90 vid on the LA derby its better

My man, watch these highlights from Seattle's last trip to Portland: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6h7Y7tk357Dgn0.html

Man, you should check out these four other MLS rivalries: LA Galaxy vs Los Angeles FC (El Trafico) New York City FC vs New York Red Bulls (Hudson River Derby) Toronto FC vs Montreal Impact/CF Montreal (Canadian Classique) FC Cincinnati vs Columbus Crew SC (Hell is Real Derby) Out of all these rivalries El Trafico and Hell is Real are the younger or newly brewed rivalry. Personally I'm most looking forward to El Trafico than Hell is Real because it reminds me of Real Madrid's & FC Barcelona's El Clasico.

Am I tripping or have you reacted to this already?

Timbers fan here. If I remember correctly, the confusion in the game was because the extra weight given to away goals is only during the regulation 90. They were even at the end of regulation, and then both teams scored during the extra period. Instead of bumping the Timbers ahead because they now had more away goals, it just tied things up again. That's why the game ended in a penalty shootout. Not sure if that rule is just US soccer or more universal; the circumstances are specific and unusual enough that the distinction would rarely come into play.

Day 73 of requesting 28 minutes of nhl electrifying playoff goals pt 1 by not John tavares

Greatest rivalry in USA 100% maybe not North America

First

People watch MLS 😂😂😂 Liga MX is better and I’m not even Mexican

Vancouver is very forgettable

TIMBERS FANS STOP WAVING THE GAY FLAGS

MLS IS A JOKE

If the us were better at soccer, we’d care more.

In North America?? ❌ *NO.* Youve got a lot to learn... **CHIVAS vs AMERICA** dwarfs every other Football-Soccer Rivalry in North America. In Mexico its known as "The Derby of Derbies" ( _El Clasico de Clasicos_ ) Portland vs Seattle biggest In the U.S.? Sure BUT DEFINITELY NOT in North America, that's plan silly.

I love seeing Brits reacting to MLS derbies. Another mate has a channel too and love his reactions

Portland and Seattle's hockey teams have a big rivalry as well. I love both cities; and Vancouver for that matter. Cascadia Forever!
