Pregame hype, Live Aid version

By: Fitz | Comments No Comments

I have been reading numerous Real Salt Lake message boards, and among those that address the game this weekend against Toronto, fans seem to be clamoring for status quo. So here it is:

I didn’t know so many people were still stoked to hear these guys. I know they opened Live Aid, and their 60-plus chart […]

Videos: Kyle and Javi (Kyle y Javi)

By: Fitz | Comments No Comments

Real Salt Lake’s Kyle Beckerman and Javi Morales have teamed up to do what looks to be a regular feature, “El Javi and Kyle Show.” This video appears to be produced by the team and appears on the club’s official blog.
Through the magic of YouTube, however, we’re able to imbed it here, so you can […]

Player ratings, RSL-United

By: Fitz | Comments No Comments

So MLS finally gets the archived RSL-United game online, and the first 13 minutes are left out. That’s OK … all I missed was Beckerman’s first goal. No big deal.
Kudos to MLS for its attempt to bring soccer to the masses. But y’all have some bugs to be worked out.
Rimando — 8. Not many difficult […]

How the hell do you complain about that?

By: Fitz | Comments 1 Comment

RSL’s first victory of the season is in the books — and it’s 4-0 over D.C. United in Utah.
So allow me to indulge you …
It’s the night before the season opener, and you’re looking at RSL’s schedule. Chicago, a legit contender for Eastern Conference champ, is up first. Then it’s off to Chivas USA, which […]

Oops

By: Fitz | Comments 1 Comment

Thank God I deemed RSL a better attacking team with Dema Kovalenko on the bench.
What has he done so far? Two assists?
There’s a phrase for something like this. It’s called a mea culpa.
Jason Kreis — coach.
Me — blogger.
Understood.

The people’s post: RSL-United

By: Fitz | Comments 4 Comments

I’ll start by providing some links. For your reading pleasure …
The preview in the Deseret News.
The preview in the Salt Lake Tribune.
The preview in the Washington Post.
The official, MLS-sanctioned preview. I wouldn’t trust the RSL lineup, by the way. It’s how they lined up against Chivas and I doubt Jason Kreis will use it.
Now, for […]

Simple question: Deuchar and … ?

By: Fitz | Comments 2 Comments

Who should partner up with the Good Doctor when RSL hosts D.C. United on Saturday? Your choices:
– Yura Movsisyan. The people’s choice. Has been active in both games, including at Chivas USA in a substitution role. (And he’s my pick, too.)
– Robbie Findley. Don’t give up on him this early in the season.
– Fabian Espindola. […]

Wingert to Deseret News: Pay scale ‘a little bit unfair’ toward U.S. players

By: Fitz | Comments 7 Comments

I want to begin with a quote from Real Salt Lake wing fullback Chris Wingert, who spoke to James Edward of the Deseret News for a story in that paper about MLS salaries, and addressed the issue of pay for American players vs. foreign players:

I’m kidding. He said this:
“Personally I think it’s a little […]

Please start Sturgis (and Williams too) …

By: Fitz | Comments 2 Comments

I’d better post this before the topic accelerates from “Pregame Speculation” to “Master of the Obvious.”
I wondered, after he didn’t play in the opener, how Nathan Sturgis would fit into RSL’s plans this season. One answer might come Saturday. Our good friend (and actual reporter) James Edward writes on his Deseret News blog that Sturgis […]
