When Real Salt Lake last faced off against the New York Red Bulls, the teams’ game day rosters made the match look like an intrasquad scrimmage: the match marked the first and only time last season that RSL would face off against former teammates Fabian Espindola, Jonny Steele, and Jamison Olave. Tonight’s game won’t have […]

Real Salt Lake entered BBVA Compass Stadium Sunday night as MLS’s lone unbeaten side. With a 5-2 romp over a short-handed and 10-man Houston Dynamo team, RSL’s record will remain unblemished for at least another week.

Through much of the first half (and part of the second), it looked as though Real Salt Lake would gift the Fire their first victory of the season because of a poor defensive performance. Instead, the Claret-and-Cobalt responded with three unanswered goals in the final 21 minutes of the match to escape Toyota Park in […]

Do you remember April 30, 2011? No? Well, when it comes to the history of the rivalry between Real Salt Lake and the Portland Timbers, that date was the last occasion Portland was able to celebrate a victory.

Adversity is part of sports, and while every team faces adversity, only the greatest find a way to overcome it. Real Salt Lake has already encountered adversity this season in the form of a rash of injuries while facing one of MLS’s most difficult early-season schedules. How has it reacted to this challenge?

The thought of playing Sporting KC again after two unfortunate defeats last season causes me to realize that the pit left in my stomach after December’s MLS Cup loss hasn’t gone away. And if you feel like the pit in your stomach has gone away (or you’re a Sporting fan and want to relive the…*gulp*…magic), […]

I get nervous before most Real Salt Lake matches. Particularly the big ones. I believe RSL can win any match it plays, but when the opposing team is an unknown quantity, I don’t know what to expect. So, naturally, I was apprehensive about Saturday’s matchup with Toronto FC, a team that had already heisted 3 […]
