This weekend gives us the first ever derby between the LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC. It will be the first time to Southern California based clubs will face off since the demise of Chivas USA in the 2014 season.
A new rivalry match like this one gives us a chance at some creativity as soccer fans. All big derbies need a catchy title to remember them by, and this clash of Tinseltown titans is no different.
So, with that in mind, what would you, the soccer fans of this nation, call the new LA based rivalry? The Freeway Derby? El Trafico? The possibilities are endless.

Considering LAFC only played two regular season games in it’s history, I agree naming this the Manufactured Rivalry Cup. This rivalry involving a newborn team is nothing more than MLS’s business tactics. Yawn.
No one cares about manufactured rivalry BS while teams with actual history like Columbus are put out to pasture. Ask any Red Bull fan how much they care about that other blue team that plays in a baseball stadium. They don’t.
I don’t know, seems like you care enough to take the time to insult both their kit color and where they play.
I like ElTrafico. It’s funny. Its local and something that both teams can agree on.
Tinsletown Tiff
something like a “reverse rivalry”, because the new club already seems better
El Trafico. In time, it may even a become relevant match instead of a marketing tool.
El Plástico.
(Not mine, but it’s making me laugh.)
Winner!!
How is it a rivalry if they’ve never played before? #onlyintheMLS
I just want #HellIsReal between FC Cincy and the Columbus Crew to happen next year.

LAtin Kings Cup. J/k… it’s the black and gold
I think you need to come up with a more interesting question of the day.
Fans have already decided: El Traffic Cone in honor of LA’s old hag roster

The only correct answer is to channel Rage Against the Machine and name it “The Battle of Los Angeles”.
The Galaxy are in Carson, not LA
New York Giants/Jets don’t even play in their state… you’re just a salty Chivas USA fan.
