Fabian Espindola, striker and samurai, on cusp of goalscoring record
Some exciting news filtered through the works of Major League Soccer yesterday as it became readily apparent that Fabian Espindola is on the verge of meeting and breaking Robbie Findley's career goalscoring record at Real Salt Lake.…
Promising young Nico scores for reserves; Supporters March video
The middle of the week is always when the week feels its longest, I think. There's no real controversy in saying that, is there? The problem is, I suppose, that the most recent match is equally as distant as the next match is close. It all…
"Believe" outstrips other MLS anthem attempts; RSL atmosphere on the rise
When you do something particularly well, it's only natural that others will see that and become one of two things: envious or inspired. The former is perhaps the low end of the spectrum, and it's always a bit discouraging when people act…

Kara sent in these photos of her and her husband, Jeremy, with Jamison Olave and Kyle Reynish, Jeremy and his megaphone (you can find him running along north goal during R-S-L chants), and Jeremy with the Rocky Mountain Cup. Kara and…
Injury Round-up: Recoveries in full force as home opener looms
There's not a lot of noise coming from camp today, really. In fact, the club seems rather calm. Much like, I believe, the calm before a storm or some such. Of course, there's plenty of non-calm elsewhere, isn't there? Seattle fans just saw…
