There’s no real theme to this post, just a mishmash of stuff as Real Salt Lake preps for Saturday’s opener against the Chicago Fire.

———–Morales————–
—–Beckerman—-Williams——
————Talley—————
-Joy–Mantilla/Borchers–Wingert-
———–Rimando————–
I chose the forwards I […]

Deuchar hasn’t been with the team since they broke […]

Category: Team NewsThe Mr. McMahon treatment, right back at me
By: Fitz | 3 Comments
So I was told this week that I’m incapable of teaching 3-to-6-year olds how to play soccer. But I wasn’t fired. That’s a distinction my former boss made to me when she called.
No, the distinction made to me was that …

This is for any who’s watching the game. Oddly enough, here in L.A., the local stations aren’t picking up the contest. So please chime in with your comments before, during and after the game. Or I could just live blog and make stuff up. “Findley has a breakaway … he finishes!”
For what it’s worth (hint: […]

My RSL preview will run any day now. Until then, here’s a chance to whet your appetite for the season. What’s a realistic goal for the season? .500? Playoffs? A playoff run?
