FIRST AND FOREMOST …
This game was quite the reminder about how much RSL must improve the reach the upper tier. Are they better? Yes. Did they control the ball for stretches last night? Yep, that too. However, and I don’t know exactly how to quantify this, but [...]

People’s post: RSL-Chivas USA
By: Fitz | 3 Comments
Okay then. I’d offer up some trash talk, but when the cumulative score of RSL-Goats games at the HDC is 13 goals on the downside, it’s hard. “You just wait, Goats. We will not lose 3-0 this time around!” See? Rather hard.
Tell me who you’d like to see start, what fate you’d like to see [...]

The official injury report, as listed in the preview on MLS’ official site, lists outside back Chris Wingert as probable for tomorrow’s opener against Chicago. He has an MCL sprain in his left knee.

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.

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

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