Kenny Cutler had a great game for Real. Where's the press?
RSL FAN | 9:09 a.m. May 11, 2008
We really needed a win like this. Dallas is good and they really disrupted the
flow of the game for us. Thankfully, Sala's weaknesses were exploited (he
has given up some bone-headed goals this year) and we had enough defense to
close the game out. Unfortunately we are still giving up incredibly-ridiculous
equalizers which needs to stop. But it looks like the ball finally bounced the
right way for RSL. We are now tied for a playoff position and 1 pt out of
first. Hopefully we can finally get some points on the road......
PS: Cutler did have a good game! He was very impressive in the Reserves game last week and he may have finally come of age. I think he is part of the reason why Talley got shipped this week. There is hope for Nik Besagno!!!

Nice win by the good guys. Andy Williams play continues to inspire his
teammates. What an awesome pass he had to Beckerman for the clinching goal. The
team seems to be gelling at the right time. Let's keep it up boys!
RSL fan in Dallas | 10:41 a.m. May 11, 2008
I watched the game here in Dallas. Great win... but I can't wait until RSL
moves into their new stadium. Rice stadium is very ugly on TV... both in
football and especially soccer. That field looks terrible.

Great game, it was ugly but a win is a win. Colo. is next .
DH | 12:27 p.m. May 11, 2008
Sick pass by Williams to Beckerman. Great win for us.
BC | 12:33 p.m. May 11, 2008
YAANDY! Andy Williams may look lazy but his play is awesome. Ronny Turiaf was
there and well... I saw him. I bet he was impressed.

Great win. I was going crazy the last 5 minutes, but we finally pulled it
off.
CRUSH COLORADO!

Ya, same! During those last minutes, I could barely watch the game. Last years
team would have definately ended a 2-2 draw... Great game boys! Cutler is
definately a solid player. Props to beltran, hes playing a mature style that
not many rookies are capable of doing.
Excellent | 5:01 p.m. May 11, 2008
Beating the Crapids this week would be huge. It would show what this team is
really capable of. We need a road win!
Excellent work! Keep it up!

Great win! I didn't realize we had a lacrosse team. That is great!
RA | 7:36 p.m. May 11, 2008
Good to get the win. I am sick of hearing people saying Cutler is so solid
though. Not so! He is not that great. Didn't do much last night!

What would Kenny Cutler Do?
Ethan | 8:19 p.m. May 11, 2008
A win this week in Colorado will have RSL as the top team in the Western
Conference.

When? | 8:59 p.m. May 11, 2008
The answer to the question "What would Kenny Cutler do" before last
night was "stand around and look confused while the other team's
attacking midfielder runs past him with the ball."
But he did have a good game last night.

Andy's pass "priceless"

I was suprised as anyone when Kenny Cutler made the roster for this year. But
after seeing him in the reserves last week and on the field this week I have
noticed an improvement. He is definitely not the player that we saw a couple of
years ago. With the changeover in RSL's roster over the years, it takes
something to stick around like Cutler has. I am at least glad that SOMEONE from
the John Ellinger era besides Andy Williams is doing something now. Cutler and
Besagno are probably the only draft picks in RSLs first 3 years that are still
with the team.

The next 3 games for RSl are on the road. Lets see how they do, one or two wins
would be nice. All i hope is that we dont get killed.
Its funny to me that we can lead the west with a win and 11 points, but in the east we would be second to last with the win, ha ha. Its like the NBA except the east is the west and west the east, if that makes sense.
Lets go RSL! beat our rivals in Colo!

wow | 3:00 p.m. May 12, 2008
anybody else notice that some ridiculous goals have been scored against RSL
especially at RSL. Season opener: Blanco gets a lucky bounce and rips in a
beautiful left footed bender. I hate that guy, but that shot was quiet amazing.
Beckham come here, hits two good shots, the first one showing our goalies
weakness, and the second well it was a set piece enough said. And then this last
week, the FC dallas guy hits a shot (again exposing our keeps weakness) off the
crossbar then the side netting. Shots like this wont always go the wrong way for
RSL hopefully. Take those away and RSL has 4 more points and leads the west,
anything can happen!
GO RSL!
GO RSL!

Its the pitch my friend.. the pitch. The ball doesn't bounce or react the
same way on turf.

Re: Wow
Yeah those goals were ridiculous. Good thing is that we arent giving up "stupid" goals like we did at this point last year on defensive mistakes. Teams will need to learn that they will need to bring their game to earn a goal against RSL. I think this is a mark of a good team and a good defense. We just got to show now that we can do something on the road. Once that happens we will have the formula for a playoff run barring huge injuries.

Good Bye to Talley.
Thank the heavens!

I too am glad that Talley is gone
Billy | 12:21 p.m. May 14, 2008
Morales finally starts playing well and goes down with an injury? Hopefully
this won't hurt RSL. They have enough midfielders that hopefully it
won't. Williams is gonna have to step up now.
Billy | 12:24 p.m. May 14, 2008
Maybe Kreis can stop complaining about the officiating and just get his team
focused on winning...whether they play ugly or pretty it doesn't matter,
just win baby.
