A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
I think I'm going to be living on that win for a while — at least until Wednesday — as it's still getting me quite invigorated at odd moments in the day. I'd contemplated not needing any sleep until then, but that's clearly not going to…
Let's start things off simply. No, there will not be any April Fool's Day jokes here. (I think.) Alright, just one: A penalty from a deliberate handball that was denying a goal-scoring opportunity without a card being shown. Now that we've…
What do Real Salt Lake fans have to do to make the next push in creating the best atmosphere in Major League Soccer? What does it take to get a chant to spread in the fanbase? Is it better to stay simple? In the first of what should become…
