A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
Just a short one today, but we've got some updates on player health that are quite scintillating, so it's worth a go around the ol' race track that is Under the Crossbar, which is neither a race track nor particularly old. One Mr. Luis Gil…
Happy Monday, everyone. Do you know what this week is? If you don't, don't worry — it's something that's come much more quickly than I'd have thought myself. Yes, indeed, the first kick is this week. Major League Soccer, you see, is back.…
