Real Salt Lake: Scoreless draw tastes sour

Well, I'm not happy. That was a loss, and we don't deserve a point from that match since NO ONE COULD FINISH.

And the State of Utah is putting up millions for this?

That was a must win. Jason prefers not to look at the points cause he would hate to see how bad Real has been under his stewardship. Come one. The quakes couldn't shake off Bountiful High's team. Being unable to capitalize on a man down for more than half the game? That is a major blunder. The only good thing about the game was we didn't let them squeeze in a goal in the last 10 minutes. See, we must be improving. We sucked the whole game, not the last minute. The Rev is going to destroy us on Saturday. I pray for a lightning storm. Maybe by October we will be able to take on a real team like New England.

Too Bad RSL didn't lose in the 90th minute. That would have been cool.

First of all... Robert you are an idiot.

Now onto important things. I can't believe that Jason ever said that they do not want to focus on points! That is what sports are about!!! To end up tied at home, to an expansion team is ludicrous! To do that when they are a man down is outright stupidity, and laziness on the part of the players, and the coaching staff.

If we had even a few ties on the road, and won a game as obvious as that we would be first in the western conference. Jason Kries is not cutting it as head coach.

We have to bring in someone who can finish. We had 20 shots last night. 4 were on goal! That is simply revoltingly sad.

I would actually favor Bountiful High's soccer team some nights over Real, have you ever see them play talk about a Dynasty.

I think it's funny that when Real wins it is suddenly assumed that we will win out the rest of the way, and that when we tie (or lose) that the team is so terrible that they couldn't even beat a high school team, and don't deserve a new stadium. I'm sure that New England was a little disappointed that they had to come from behind to tie a terrible Red Bull team at home last night also.
Some nights are like that in soccer. Sometimes the ball just won't go in the net. I'm sure these guys will come out Saturday and give it their best shot against New England on Saturday. Hopefully we get a good result. Lets get out there and cheer them on.

Do you people not remember how bad we were under Ellinger. Kreis has built a strong team that is very organized and can compete and beat any team in this league. With Ellinger we only won games if our team ran 10 miles more than the other team and if we got a fluke goal.

Our team is good. They are confident and play well as a team. Kreis is doing a very good job. He has built a hard nosed hard working disciplined team. Do you not remember how we used to get scored on in the first 20 minutes of every game, now we are the only team in the league not to be scored on in the first 30 minutes, that is a huge improvement.

Relax. We can't win every game. We had a goal taken away and we hit the pole. Sure there were some very good chances that should have been at least put on goal, but that is no reason to call for a coaching change.

The only really big thing that I would like to see is a little more URGENCY to get a goal the last 30 minutes or so.

Tremendous excitement! Gripping drama! No wonder the stadium is sold out with a waiting list for season tix. Now I get it.

Too Bad I actually agree with you. That would have exposed how badly we played and maybe people would be moved to change...

I was very disappointed in the result, but what drove me nuts was that RSL didn't push more men forward with the advantage most of the game. That is bad coaching. I like Kries, but he needs to quit playing for the tie and hope they get a goal by chance. I will be at the game on saturday, so hopefully RSL acts like they want to be on the field.

RSL can't even score. That is why soccer is boring. How boring to have a game with no scoring and having it end in a tie. Ties stink. Do overtime or penalty kicks.

I question some of the subs Kreis made. Why pull out a veteran like Deuchar and put in someone with no experience like Tino? I can see making that change if Kenny were injured.
Also, its probably good that we tied, it will make us come out wanting it more on saturday when we really need it.

realfan- IT WAS SJ WE HAD ONE MORE GUY THEN THEM ON THE FEILD!!! those are not assumptions those are facts.

We definitely miss Espindola, the man can finish.

...Can we please buy a goal scorer? Other than Espindola...I don't think we have any. Cut Deuchar, and Yura...failed experiments.

Soccer: Fast Kicking, Low Scoring, and Ties, Ties, Ties!!!

I made comments last week on how non-exciting soccer is, and people jumped down my throat. Supposedly last night was a must win, and all this build up then. . . a tie, how typical. Soccer sucks, get over it people. Soccer should not be called a sport until they always have a winner and a looser, get rid of the freakin ties people! I love hockey now that there is no ties, much more exciting with the shoot outs. I used to go to almost every real game the first couple of years then i realized, why am i paying 20 dollars a ticket to watch a tie!! Whatever, great job people for building a nice stadium for this non sense.

No matter what you say..a night of watching a scoreless soccer game was a night well spent.

I would have prefered the W but RSL is still a great night out.

Utefan why do you watch the game if you think it's boring. Go watch reruns of BYU beating Utah in football instead. I think Real needs to do the same thing they had 24 shots i think and it is hard to score. Real get to the playoffs this year come on.
