Still no trade? ...Still not interested.
Come on RSL, make some moves and get competitive already. For the love...

todd from santa ana

You guys are in such trouble! Now a healthy rested Landon back after the US win, an "in-form" Edson Buddle. An improving defense, much better organized and dangerous. Good at goals in the last 15 minutes.

The only chance I feel is not to sit back and play counter-attack and allow the Galaxy time amd space at home. A "pressure game offensive and defensively" is the way you might as well go.

Chris Klein is vulnerable to give aways in the back 4 in his own end. When they have the ball should be pressured to see if they turn it over and do not allow the backs free rein to pass into the midfield. It is a large field I heard a little wider by couple yards pressure pressure pressure.

Donovan Ricketts is playing better than anyone in this league right now in Net.

Could not have picked worse time to play Galaxy.

Good Luck.....

Will need it..

Re: Todd

Take a look at all those ties! you will have to win like 20 straight to make up for that because that is just embarassing to the league and the Galaxy!

Maybe rsl should have the galaxy approach every week.. Okay guys let's all stand in the 18 and hope we can tie every single away game. Sheesh i'll take rsl losing every week over every single game being a tie!!

todd to above

The Galaxy have stunk for 3 years. You should look at most of the ties have been comebacks. Sure it took time to get used to Bruce Arena and the system. Now I have noticed improvement. Trust me. We will go further than Real and will be in the playoffs. Will you?

Further, I can trust Bruce like Abe Lincoln. At least I know this team will be prepared, and you would trade places? really! We have one loss-how many does Real have? When all is said and done the final 4 will be Houston, Galaxy, New England., either Columbus or Chicago.

Bruce is also a winner.

Kreis never won in his life marbles.

Hey Todd, I hate to break it to you but Landon will not be back. He is with the rest of the USMNT down in South Africa for the Confederations Cup.

todd to ccb1212

your right, i deserved to be called out on that. I know that 2 week tournament starting on Sunday. Forgot truthfully. Then the Gold Cup but I guess he will not play there. I still think the Galaxy will win tomorrow. I will go with 3 to 1

STEVE-O

Todd it's gonna be pretty embarassing to lose to RSL. A team that's only scored ONE road goal all year long. Lucky for RSL the Galaxy are at BEST only capable of a tie. You've got some phantom confidence there.

STEVE-O

This is RSL's problem...

"(We were) covering the gaps and taking opportunities to get two players around most balls, which is something we've been working on a long time. Glad to see it come tonight, so hopefully we'll continue to do that and realize that's what we have to do every game to get points," said Kreis.

Jason Kreis CANNOT be happy with that game!! He just can't! I don't understand what he's watching? He's dillusional. We had a ton of shots but really only 2-3 dangerous chances the ENTIRE game. Kreis is pathetic!

todd to steve o

if they lose, i will be man enough to take my medicine and say great job...Steve, I joke about it but you know from my jazz posts I root for all Utah Teams because of values, honor and sportsmanship. I see so many parallels with Real and The Jazz. Maybe Fedor can drive down here tomorrow night, and bring Real good luck. I think in all seriousness the Galaxy will beat them easily...

todd to steve o part 2

I further applaud your post just now. I know you like to be supportive and try and give benefit like Magnus and be positive. You were critical. I honestly feel to beat the Galaxy, you guys have to attack them hard, under pressure the back 4 has tendencies to lose possession like Ezra Henrikson and Xavier used to do also. (where are those 2 now?) Chris Klein is the target if I am on Real. I know the Galaxy ties but they are playing better the last several without results showing in wins.

If I had not gone to Angels-Pads tomorrw night, i would be there but will tape game. Anyone come down the 2nd time they come here this season, maybe somehow i can be made aware thru the Des News and we can all hook up for a fun day...

RSL Ulty fan

RSL will win this game. Galaxy were lucky to tie RSL at home, now it is payback. This could be a breaking point either good or bad for RSL this weekend. I wish they would have kept Davies rather than trade him. Colorado should not have tied last week, that goal should have been defended by the defense and Rimando much better. It was a nice shot though. Come RSL, win a game!!!!!!!! Real fan forever.

Something to cheer for

I heard Andy's wife starts her transplant today. The team has not given us a lot to cheer for but at least we can cheer for her and Andy and keep them in our prayers.

STEVE-O

I appreciate that Todd-o!
I agree 100% that RSL needs to attack, but they won't. They have one goal on the road all year for a reason. Jason Kreis is happy with ties, and is too defensive minded!
Also you're right about Klein. I don't think he has the skill, speed, or smarts to defend a full game. REal should know that as well as any team in the league.
I guess we'll see what happens and I'll either be talking smack... or giving you props for your prediction.
