A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
Last night was, in no small way, a macrocosm of the season so far. A win, a little bit of controversy, a red card — then another — a battle, some nerves (OK, a lot of nerves) and, in the end, a win. When our hard-tackling midfielder Will…
Right, it's the single match of the season where we get to make these puns, so let's get on with it, shall we: It's time for the royal Claret and Cobalt to quash the Revolution, to find three points against a side out to make a difference…
Just a short one today, folks, but something nonetheless to help tide you over until a match preview tomorrow. Rather than something drawn out and pretentious (heh), I'll just go over some statistics, as I don't have terribly much time…
Ten games in and we've got six wins, three losses and a draw; we've found the net 16 times — or somebody's found it for us — and of those 16, some of them were startlingly special. It's hard to imagine that after only 10 games, we've…

On occasion, a win is just a win. You don't get the emotional thrill of the three points, of victory, of success. Thankfully, last night was a bit of a different case. Against a side desperate for points and for anything resembling…
To tide you over 'til the morning, when I've written up a full match preview, here are some charts and annotated screenshots from tonight's 3-2 win over Toronto FC. That stoppage time goal from Jonny Steele — his second of the sort — will…
The joys of the morning after the morning after the rain are upon us: It's time once again to head toward the RioT and watch those boys in Claret and Cobalt battle some Canadian chaps who, horror of horrors, are completely winless to this…
