RSL welcomes Toronto FC to Rice Eccles Stadium on the annual 4th of July match. This time there is more to anticipate than just the fireworks show at the end of the game. It is our Independence Day and we’re playing the smug, jealous, anti-American Canadians! Not to mention that RSL has [...]

Freddy Adu has made it well known that he wants to play in Europe. His form in the MLS has never reached the levels of stardom and his position in the line up at Salt Lake has even been questioned. For these reasons, Adu has a lot riding on this tournament. He [...]

Wow! So this is how it feels to win. We almost forgot that feeling until Robbie Findley scores two break away goals to beat D.C. United on his first start in a RSL jersey. I think RSL fans have already forgotten Chris Klein and Jeff Cunningham with that single performance. Since [...]

This year has seen RSL change managers, have the GM resign, see the leading scorer retire then hired as manager, have the Golden Boot winner traded to upstart Toronto FC, Eddie Pope announce his retirement, welcome Freddy Adu to the line up then see him benched, have the hyped Cental American striker turn out to [...]

Well, folks, it’s been fun, but it’s time for me to move on from my position as Real Salt Lake blogger here at The Offside. We’ve had our ups (there was that friendly win) and our downs (every other game, plus being called a fascist after the friendly win), but I think it’s time [...]

Alright, kids. We are back. We are in the middle third of the MLS season, and it’s time to begin an assault on Peter’s seemingly unassailable lead. Check here for the standings – I warn you, it’s not pretty … but there’s still time to make a run at the exciting (and [...]

That’s right, folks. The waiting is over. We now, officially, have a worst team in the MLS. It was a hard-fought battle for the basement spot, and at times, both sides played like they wanted it, but congratulations to the LA Galaxy … you’re slightly better than the worst team in the [...]

Happy Birthday to Nick Rimando, who turns 28 today. Your present, Nicky, is not, sadly, a pony OR a Malibu Stacy beach house, but another grueling day in goal for RSL, making a dozen or so saves while still probably not getting a win.
Let’s hope Nick’s birthday can bring us some luck. If [...]
Category: Team NewsAn early thank you to Eddie Pope
By: Ian Rose | No Comments
He’s been with the team since the beginning. Prior to RSL’s 2005 inaugural season, one of our major pickups was Eddie Pope. A consistent national team starter and member of three U.S. World Cup teams. 12 years in the league, 231 games. Perhaps the best defender in U.S. professional and international [...]

By: Ian Rose | No Comments
In an effort to rack up the highest ratio of friendly wins to league wins in football history (oh wait, you can’t divide by zero … damn …), Real Salt Lake will be facing none other than Everton FC on July 21 at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Apparently, the Toffees will be playing another match on [...]
