    Dissent, yellows hurt RSL more than most

    When one finds one's self glancing at statistics day-in, day-out, it all gets a bit hazy, and sometimes the numbers all blend together. I suppose that's rather the fun of it, that blending — that Neo moment, when it suddenly seems as if…

    Notes: Reserves win; misleading stats; kit sales

    After a three-day hiatus following that slightly painful lead-in to the weekend and pursuant international break, it's time once again to take a look at some interesting little tidbits of nonsense from the previous week, as well as to let…

    Dynamo surrender possession in 1-0 smash-and-grab over RSL

    That was, in a word, disappointing. But late losses like those are always that way, and this one is no exception. It was a night when our spectacular goalkeeper saved the match over and over again, but when it came to the end of affairs, a…

    Match Preview: Pass-happy Houston, absences provoke questions

    Ah, MLS, you lovely beast, you. Once again, we've got a match scheduled for an international break, leaving us a bit bare in the personnel cabinet and forcing some interesting workarounds to cope with player injury. At least, I hope there…

    With a strangely timed midweek match coming to the fore tomorrow before a longish layoff, We'll get one last look at our guys before a 12-day absence through the international break. In advance of that, I've jotted down some hasty and…

    Notes: Form trickling back into Rio Tinto with RSL's thunderous display

    Well, well! After my weekend absence, I've returned with some match notes and ramblings. Normal service, it seems, has resumed. And after this weekend, it seems perhaps that our form is returning to some sense of normalcy as we ease into…

    RSL, looking to return to form, readies for United visit

    Ah, the morning of match day. It's all a bit different when you won't be there, isn't it? Anyhow, that's of little concern and is mostly me just whining a bit. Alas, there is nothing to be done about that now, so let's get on with things,…

    CCL possibilities, unknown quantities provide fear, doubt

    A bit of a short one today, as I'm off on a long drive and will be missing tomorrow's match (though I will be, of course, watching it — I'd have it no other way excepting being there). Anyhow, excuses out of the way, let's talk Champions…

    Power Rankings Overview: Pained RSL find spot slipping with poor form

    Editor's note: Kreg Asay is back once again with an overview of the power rankings for the week. We've once again seen RSL drop in the standings, although it's quite interesting to note that, if we get back to our winning ways, we could…
