What has the coaching staff and team leaders done this week to ensure that nerves won't get the best of the players like they seemed to do the last time we faced NY on October 9? Is it a similar setting that will present similar nerves to overcome, or has the team sufficiently matured over the past month to overcome any worries?

Anyway, I couldn't sleep because I dreamed RSL won 7-0! Ha! Ha!

GO RSL!!!

Are they still here? I stopped drinking soda so I haven't been offered 8 free tickets with every 44 ounce Coke lately. Well...good luck on your high kicks and fake knee injuries. I hope you score!!

What a breakthrough year for Real Salt Lake. They play well as a team and I really hope the fan following continues to increase. Soccer is the one truly international sport and I love to see Utah taking part in that tradition.

I never imagined after the last couple seasons that we'd be in this position so soon, but a potential finals would be amazing.

GO RSL!!!!

I don't follow soccer all that much, but I couldn't help but wonder how New York is playing in the Western Conference final. Could someone please explain?
You're right... | 11:27 a.m. Nov. 15, 2008
...you don't follow soccer all that much! Wild card spot. Hope you follow it enough to be there tonight to watch them dominate NY! GO RSL!!!

"Soccer is the one truly international sport and I love to see Utah taking part in that tradition."

What's next? One world government?

Leave soccer to the long haired Euros and the eight year olds.

The USA knows real football, and it ain't kickyball
Hey Rio tiento | 1:27 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
Why would you let your eight year old play "kickyball"? Chances are he'll grow up liking the sport and you'll have to go to all of his soccer games to support him. Looks like deep down inside you want to like it but you're not man enough to admit it. Why don't you save strain on your carpel tunnel and stick to commenting on BYU football.

Good luck tonight RSL! they cant spoil our fun twice, what better time to win them than now?
Great game | 5:17 p.m. Nov. 15, 2008
This game is going to be great. I see RSL winning 2-0. I think it was a good thing we played New York in Rio Tinto's opening. Now I'm glad we didn't beat them that night. It just adds more fuel to the fire.

I like Movsysian and . . . I can't believe I'm saying this . . . Mathis to score. (Hey, he has to score sometime).

Soccer is the bomb diggity, and deep down inside I know it.
