It’s hard to be optimistic after a 2-0 loss, but the game that just ended was a hell of a lot prettier to watch than the 4-0 loss to Chivas. First off, one of the goals is pretty arguable - it was set up by a passback call that I think could be argued. […]

The Hondaclasico is over, but another rivalry match looms tonight, as the Colorado Rapids (oh let’s just say CRapids - it saves letters) come to Salt Lake to take on Real. RSL is still a little red in the bottom from the spanking they took last week in their first away match, a 4-0 […]

After his awful start against Chivas USA, MLS veteran Nick Rimando, once traded away, then recalled to RSL before the season began, is on a seat nearly as hot as his coach’s. Chris Seitz is the future of Real between the posts, but considering that Seitz has registered the only win since the season […]

Well, Real are back in training, with a long week to ponder exactly what went wrong in the trainwreck that was this past weekend’s 4-0 loss to Chivas USA. Losers of 4-0 matches are often quoted as saying that scoreline was harsh on them, that the run of play is not reflected in such […]
