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.
THE LINEUP. SORT OF.
This is an educated guess. I’d rather stick with what I know, but given that this is a blog, I’ve developed a bit of speculationitis:
——–Yura—-Fabian———-
———–Morales————–
—–Beckerman—-Williams——
————Talley—————
-Joy–Mantilla/Borchers–Wingert-
———–Rimando————–
I chose the forwards I [...]

… but should he start?
Kenny Deuchar is all set, paper-wise, to leave the UK and work here in the United States. The official blog of Real Salt Lake says he’ll head to Salt Lake on Thursday, two days before the scheduled season opener against the Chicago Fire.
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 …
I wasn’t being fired.
They didn’t want me coaching anymore.

By: Fitz | 3 Comments
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!”

Now, some of you might argue that I’ve just written my best post of 2008. You’re welcome.

All hail James Edward! The Deseret News’ soccer reporter caught up with Jason Kreis upon the team’s return from Argentina and has the following news on his blog:
No contract offer for Indra.
Defender Chris Wingert has a left MCL sprain and is out about two weeks, meaning he might miss the home opener on March [...]

Some news to report out of RSL’s final two scrimmages of Argentine camp as I continue to pretend that a tie with Cuba never happened:
RSL 2, ROSARIO CENTRAL 2
This score is courtesy of RSL’s new official blog. Imagine that — a sports team using a staff member to write constant updates on the team so [...]
