A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
With a relatively slow midweek in place, let's take a look at some of the fringe members of the squad, how much they've played, and what we might expect from them for the remaining six to nine matches. Goalkeeper : Lalo Fernandez . Lalo,…
If you don't know the tiebreakers in CONCACAF Champions League by now, I suggest you go take a look at what I wrote over at RSL Soapbox this morning or — if you'd rather — at this piece by over at the "dot-com." After last night's 2-1 win…
It is a rainy Tuesday in Salt Lake City, and for that reason — or some other reason entirely — a quick look at some interesting statistics seems in order. Or perhaps it's out of order, and the whole system is out of order. I really don't…
Once again, here is the Power Rankings overview from Kreg Asay. Again, it all rather saddens me, but what can you do? The season's nearing an end and everything's sort of locking into place. Will there be major changes before then? Stay…

If there's one thing I love about being a fan of RSL (and there are a great many things), it's the open trainings. Of course, I love more things than just this, but there's nothing quite like being right up there, seeing young players who…
Few sensations beat that of the late, last-gasp win. It is as unique a feeling as any, incomparable in most sporting efforts. No delays, no time-outs, nothing: Just a slalom to the final whistle, and along the way, a goal. It wasn't the…
These do-or-die situations hurt my head a little bit. I mean, not to say this one is literally do-or-die, but in practice? Certainly so. We're facing that tricky Panamanian side Tauro FC, and it's hard to not get caught up in the…
David Viana. What about him? Oh, oh. We signed him. Apparently. Well, pending an international transfer clearance request's completion, and pending a work visa. So, yes. We signed him, and signings are exciting, but it leaves us with a few…
