Since we will all be treated to meaningless rivalry talk over the next week (and because I'm procrastinating), I thought it would be interesting to think of the most irrelevant team in MLS from the perspective of Metro fans. Historically and currently what other teams in the league do you just not care about?
Personally, I would have to put Colorado at #1. We've been playing them for 20 seasons now and I cannot think of a single meaningful (or even memorable) game we've played against them. I remember Guevara scoring at hatrick at Colorado once and that's pretty much the only game against them I can even think of off the top of my head (save Wednesday night). Not to mention they've never been exceptionally good, so I can't even think of a season where I looked forward to seeing us square up against a good team.
I'd probably put Vancouver at #2--although they're the only team in MLS that we have never beaten.
In the Eastern Conference Montreal probably gets the top spot in my opinion. Just perennially irrelevant. Although Titi did always bring his A-game against them. Toronto and Philly get honorable mentions.
