MLS among the best in the world

This is from an article about Real Salt Lake attendance and American fans adopting MLS.
L.A.’s Landon Donovan, Chicago’s Cuauhtemoc Blanco and defensive shot-blocker Jon Busch are among the best soccer players in the world.
I guess if I were standing in a room with some of the best soccer players in the world, you could say [...]

Real Salt Lake one step closer to US Open Cup

Real Salt Lake had another impressive victory at home last night in their US Open Cup play-in game vs expansion San Jose EarthQuakes. Kyle Beckerman notched the first two goals of the game. After that Yura Movsisyan and Andy Williams each got a goal of their own to complete a 4-0 demolition [...]

Surprise Suprise, DC United Beat Real Salt Lake

Goals from Christian Gomez and would you believe Luciano Emilio lifted DC United to a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake.  DC United has no one in the league table above them while Real Salt Lake has only the Los Angeles Galaxy below them.  Even the mighty Toronto FC with all their stars injured are [...]

Cunningham, Eskandarian Switch Places, Score Against Each Other

It doesn’t happen that two teams swap players, then face off against each other and have both players score against their old teams.  It happened earlier when Houston and Columbus made a trade and now it has happened again.  This time it was Jeff Cunningham scoring for his new team Toronto FC against Alecko Eskandarian [...]

DC United Let Real Salt Lake In On The Fun

It was a crazy weekend for Major League Soccer.
Way to go DC United, now every team in Major League Soccer has a win.  Before this weekend Real Salt Lake was the only team without a notch in the W column.  I don’t know if you guys felt bad for them or what is going on.  [...]

Jeff Cunningham Alecko Eskandarian Swap

Jeff Cunningham is headed to Toronto FC and in return Alecko Eskandarian is going to Real Salt Lake.  This is a surprising trade to me.  I can’t imagine why Real Salt Lake would give up Jeff Cunningham.  Alecko is a great player, but for my money I don’t think this is an even swap.  I’d [...]

Another Failed Thursday Prediction

If the goal scored around the 12th minute by Herculez Gomez had not been called back due to a bad offiside call, the Rapids would have gone up 2 - 0.  Instead of that happening, Real Salt Lake scored a just a short time afterwards to tie the game at the final score of 1 [...]

Rocky Mountain Cup Prediction

Tonite we will be treated to the next installment in the Rocky Mountain Cup, which of course is the game between the two Major League Soccer cities that are in the Rocky Mountains.  The game tonight will take place at Dick’s Sporting Good Park in Colorado, home of the Rapids, terrordome if you are Real [...]

Wizards Move To The Top Of The Table

The Kansas City Wizards with their 90th+ minute moved to the lone position at the top of the table. New York really didn’t want to keep that scoreless streak going by giving 3 to Real Salt Lake in a 3-3 tie. Mathis got a couple of goals to help out my fantasy team [...]

Real Salt Lake Shenanigans

What would you say if I told you Real Salt Lake coach John Ellinger was done.  And not only that, but Jason Kreis was retiring today, but only to take over Ellinger’s role as RSL head coach?  On top of that their GM is also done.
You say BS, right?
What if the Washington Post told you [...]
