The KC\SEA rivalry I think is in the growing stage...I do not think it is there though this Cup final may boost that big time when it is combined with the fact that their last game was this year in Seattle and *really* chippy and physical. It ended in a 1-1 draw.
Last game.
KC\SEA games are always close and they almost always end in Seattle getting some goal in the very last seconds of the game. KC fans don't appreciate that but I think the hostility would come more from something that doesn't really have to do with KC but moreso a sense that SEA fans smell their own farts.
MLS fans feel like they have this unjustified arrogance and the running joke is that they think they invented soccer. lol
Seattle has quite a fan base and a good think going up there and even though they have had US Open Cup success a lot of people feel like they talk a lot of shit for not having yet one a single MLS Playoff game.
In short they have a NY Yankees attitude without the NY Yankees success.
