Real Salt Lake: A veteran returning core plus an influx of young talent gives RSL high expectations

At least publicly, Kreis isn't putting any expectations on those 48 games.

"I think a fair expectation for this team at this point is they go out and battle every week. We're going to continue to keep our guys focused on all the small details, and not the results," said Kreis.
