Of course you do, because you don't want to accept the facts and you really have no leg to stand on. So the only course of action are left with is the classic "agree to disagree" tactic. The sad thing in this is that you truly are missing out on all of the best part about being a supporter of a club and you don't even realize it.

Actually I do realize I'm missing out on a lot. Watching the Dallas - Colorado 2nd playoff game (Something you guys are also missing out on) at home while most of the gang was at Delaney's in LoDo sucked. But that doesn't mean I'm not a supporter.

I thought it was because there were only 6 of them.

Wow. I guess if they are figuring a Class 6 to be fierce...... Calm waters ahead folks! Don't stand up fans, you'll rock the boat!

You know, I have always been a Crapids rivalry denier.

But after reading not just this thread, but also the incredible thread at BigSoccer, I'm starting to think there may be more too this rivalry than I first thought.

I still feel like the RMC is just Crapids trying to get waved over to the cool table, though.

I know that you are all having fun making fun of the Rapid fans. But I'd like to point out that they had a much better season than we did. haha...and I'd also like to point out that we want and need soccer to succede in this country. If Utah has a succesful team with tons of great fans then other teams can be succesful. We need to encourage other fans to cheer as loudly as we do and to be as supportive of their teams as we are. We are all really in this together as soccer fans in the USA. Its tough being a soccer fan in a country where highschool football is more of a front page story. Of course I know how bloody it gets in other countries between fans of opposing teams...(I'm a Juventus fan), but I think we could share with them our success to make all of the MLS teams have the kind of fans that RSL has.

I'm going to be at the MLS cup this weekend cheering for the success of soccer in the USA!!!! YAY! 😍

That's exactly what we're doing, but they'd rather sit down.
