Summertime Fun: RSL 2 - Toronto FC 1
By: Akeem Samuels |Rice-Eccles Stadium was left pleased, but hungry for more after last night’s game. Heading into a team record 18 day layoff, fighting an impending charge by Houston and Los Angeles who remained a mere point behind in the standings, and a 10 game home unbeaten streak on the line, the US Olympic Team [...]
Real Fine China
By: Akeem Samuels |With the Olympics about three weeks away, Salt Lake fans have something to be truly proud of; a fine export of talented players overseas to the Beijing Olympics. Real Salt Lake has been blessed with the selections of Midfielder, Nathan Sturgis and Goalkeeper, Chris Seitz to the 18 man roster with Forward, Robbie Findley [...]
Salty Taste in da’ Mouth
By: Akeem Samuels |So the 18 man roster for the MLS All-Star team has been completed and what may come to a shock to the Real Salt Lake faithful: NOT A SINGLE REAL PLAYER. While initially not voted in by the fans for the first 11 spots on the team, it was widely expected that of [...]
Pregame hype, Live Aid version
By: Fitz |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 |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 [...]
Sponsorship news
By: Fitz |Looks like somebody in the blogosphere has produced a scoop on the latest financial venture by Real Salt Lake …
Player ratings, RSL-United
By: Fitz |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 |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 |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 |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 [...]
