    Depleted RSL looking threadbare with impending international call-ups

    It’s about time that things start back into the swing of the match preview — it’s been a while, and perhaps a bit of a break (if a week between matches counts as a break) was necessary, both for fans and for the team. It’s been an…

    Meet and Greet refreshing; injury list bigger than ever

    There are few things that cure the hangover from several losses like the humanization of the squad — yesterday, you might have said I was a bit negative. Today, I feel refreshed, having just met the squad at the season ticketholders’ Meet…

    Rollercoaster season continues as we prep for Chivas

    It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride, hasn’t it? All that doom and gloom was getting a bit weary if I’m to be honest, so at this point, I will resign myself to hopefulness. I’ve only a short one for you today, but to be fair, there’s…

    Sustaining playoff hopes require serious improvement of form

    I’ll address some points about Saturday’s match, but don’t expect a long one today. It all still stings a bit, doesn’t it? It wasn’t so much the defeat — defeats happen, they happen on the road, and that part is not entirely surprising,…

    Big questions on the docket after 4th loss in 5

    Injuries, despite impact, won't make Houston match unwinnable

    Right, well, there’s no avoiding it now. We’ve got that away match at Houston coming up in just hours, and if there was ever a time when a win would do us a spot of good, it’s now. Our form leaves something to be desired, certainly, but…

    Friday Lineup Prediction (and half-baked analysis)

    Why, it wouldn’t be much of a Friday if I didn’t address the impending match, so I think I’ll do just that. I’ve been holding off — my itchy trigger finger, again — until time inched closer to the match, and I do think the day before is as…

    Gloom and doom permeate RSL camp during midweek void

    Once you get used to midweek matches, getting off them can be a bit harsh. In an attempt to fill that void, I’ve turned to internationals, the CONCACAF Champions League, things like that... it’s not so bad once you get used to it, even if…

    Mid-week notes: Wagner signing, league DP changes

    It’s the middle of the week, and despite making a new signing yesterday, things seem a bit quiet. We’ve got a new man in the form of Blake Wagner as reported yesterday, and while it’s hardly the marquee signing some in the league made this…

    Update : Updated with new information from Real Salt Lake and MLSSoccer.com. Update : Real Salt Lake has officially announced the signing. Despite not making any moves during the open transfer window, RSL have signed former FC Dallas and…
