A short one today, because frankly, there’s not much to be said about Real Salt Lake that’s not been said — at least, nothing that comes to mind so immediately. I do believe the club is conspiring to send us on a bit of a rollercoaster…
Nobody particularly enjoys losing, and our boys are no exception. But on the measure of last night’s performance — one which saw them without much in the way swagger, style, skill — you wouldn’t have known it. It was a capitulation of the…
Ah, a few short hours until we get a chance to set our record in Dallas straight, to notch a win against the former Hoops, the former Blaze, to move forward in the US Open Cup. We certainly have all the requisite ability, and as we saw on…
