Unbeaten in 6 games, 2nd in Western conference. Discuss
 
I need to start paying attention to them. I enjoy soccer and I enjoy Team USA matches. I'd probably like RSL as well.
 
Maybe I should stop following. They are undefeated and I start following a game and they are done 4-1...

Don't give up man. They made wholesale changes to their starting line-up in this one. Justen Glad, an 18 year-old center back, who contributed to a very strong defense in the last few games was given a rest in lieu of Jamison Olave who is ****. He looks like a future star. Plata was injured and Burrito was subbed out after 25'. These two are our entire offense and help our defense greatly by being consistently threatening on the counter.

I won't. Was mostly a joke about me being bad luck.
 
So, RSL is breaking ground for one of, if not the largest, club-affiliated youth training academy in the states. It's located in Herriman and let me tell you sir, I'm excited. Hopefully the quality of coaching follows the quality of the facilities. This kind of infrastructure is what will give RSL a competitive advantage in league and could seriously aid in building the United States into a strong soccer nation. Also, this will greatly benefit local prospective soccer professionals. I'm looking forward to the day that RSL becomes a team not built primarily from overseas imports but a team with a powerhouse home-grown foundation.

That is a pretty cool

I almost woke up my kids from yelling when that happened.

And Javi, right at the end (even though he didn't score) was just filthy.
 
I couldn't find the game on TV so I followed along on ESPN. Another win and tied for first in the west.
 
Injury to Maund makes me really nervous for tonight's game, he's been a key defensive player, also Colorado has looked great recently. I'd be happy with a draw.
