Very nice win.
Now it must become a habit rather than an occasional event.

The dynamics on the field were constantly changing as RSL players shifted to
open space. I could use the game as an instructional video on how to use
triangles!
That being said, Mathis played more like a mid-fielder than a forward (which is where he's best). Footspeed is still a problem for Beckerman and Morales, but with other player like Johnson, Beltran, and Wingert to make up the differenc RSL performed admirably on defense.
Rimando is the heart of the team, when he not 100% or not on the field the team dynamics dissolve. In my opinion he should be the captain!

I said would stand up and take my medicine if REAL came out and beat the
Galaxy.
Like SLoan, I will never change my overall feelings on Kreis.
However, last night I have nothing but kudos for a team that needed a must win.
The team came out more prepared, more confident. I enjoyed as a purist watching the ground laden through the middle of park football. Kreis did a great job of having this team come out with energy and hunger. A wonderful goal by someone who needed it. 2nd goal a bit of good fortune, but being attack minded a goal was deserved.
It was the worse game the Galaxy have played all season. The back 4 did a great job smothering Gordon and a clearly frustrated Buddle. Rimando looked good. I felt the article overexaggerated, he did not have to do that much after the first 10 minutes. A team win. I will give it for Real, and if they can do this in Houston against (i still think best in MLS) then will be much optimism. Mathis and Beckerman controlled the game. Good job to all.

Finally an early goal to go with the effort. LA was less physical than SJ or
COL were which helps. Additionally, the wide field was much more conducive to a
possession game (SJ's field is puny). Again it's only one win, the
team has to earn every single victory. RSL has to play hard every game and be
smart. There were a few shaky passes in the last 15 minutes. Beckerman needs
to look for the pass instead of the blast...Yura was solid and WJ was a
machine..
J.D. | 7:52 a.m. June 14, 2009
Great job RSL!!!! Way to shut those crazy, trumpet blowing fans up!! Houston,
you have a problem....we're coming after you next. Wahooooooo!!!!!!!
Good Game | 9:21 a.m. June 14, 2009
Fun game to watch. RSL was dominant from the start. Yura's goal was
sensational. Nice job!
Let's see similar effort/results vs. Houston and get some momentum going!

I think kries has finally figured out how to get the best talent on the field in
the right positions with this 4-3-3 (which becomes a 4-5-1 on defense).
I have to admit that i'd been calling for the benching of yura, but boy has he come through. Part of my request though was to get espindola on the field, and I think he's shown tons of heart and intensity on that left flank, both attacking and tracking back.
Lets hope that with this formation and now the right guys on the field, along with the owner and coach publicly committed to attacking soccer, that these guys continue to crank out performances like this.

Yura | 10:30 a.m. June 14, 2009
That's what we need more than anything, a hot goal scorer. If Yura could
go on a scoring streak RSL would rise to the top. If he can't . . . well
lets just hope we can make the playoffs.
cam | 11:48 a.m. June 14, 2009
Good to see Yura finally rewarded with goals in two straight games. Hopefully
his confidence is up and he can keep this streak going. Great win for us!
Bob | 11:58 a.m. June 14, 2009
Like how we played the ball through the middle and had plenty of touches for
Morales. That's the way we need to be playing. We haven't been going
through Morales much at all this year and it's showed. When we go through
him, good things happen. Case in point, the last few games of last year.
Fedor | 12:12 p.m. June 14, 2009
They say June is time for gloom in L.A., but not this day my fellow RSL
fanatics!!! What a victory, and I knew this come because Fedor will NEVER LOSE
THE FAITH!!! What inspiring performances from my main men Movsisyan, Yura and
Rimando. Nick is like the acrobat out there last night. I may have been only
person with "Beat L.A., Beat L.A." chant, but I know they heard Fedor,
and know it was key to the inspiration of this team. On trip out to L.A. it was
not easy to pack my shinguards, my scarf, my plastic horn, my RSL bobblehead,
flag of Trinidad and Tobago, and special Ray Ban sunglasses. (because it is
L.A.) I only leave this day with the one regret, I did not bump into Ms. Britney
Spears, who is love of Fedor life. But hey, L.A. is the big place, there will be
many trips. I will be back in Valley of goodness tonight, and on this day of
flags I will hoist my RSL banner high in the rainy skies. Goooooooooooooo RSL,
GOOOOOOO GOOOOOO GOOOOOO all the WAY!!! We're back!!!!! EBO!
Chadders | 12:35 p.m. June 14, 2009
I told you the 4-3-3 was the best formation for us. Finally RSL is realizing it.
Great win fellas!
one win | 3:29 p.m. June 14, 2009
Good win but keep in mind it is this win that keeps us from being at the bottom.
We have a LOOONG way to the top. I liked the effort!
This was the biggest factor, RSL remember we need a number of wins in a row to climb the ranks. Good job on this one. Keep up the effort.

RSL Ulty fan | 5:56 p.m. June 14, 2009
Sweet revenge!!!! Galaxy were lucky to tie at our home, so we made them punish
for it. The 2nd goal was well deserved because RSL has had so many goals like
that go against them all year. Great win, just as I predicted. Where was
Findley? Most organized game all year.
Anonymous | 6:42 p.m. June 14, 2009
Finally! Now keep it up. GO RSL!
furmat60 | 7:10 p.m. June 14, 2009
I completely agree with you Chaco, Rimando is hands down the best keeper in MLS,
he deserves to be the captain. I mean, what kind of captain gets suspended
because of cards. I mean, I like Beckerman and all, but come on.... Rimando has
heart, more than anyone I have seen on that team. This was a fantastic win, and
I can't wait till the next home game!
Tut | 9:58 p.m. June 14, 2009
Great game RSL! It was fantastic to see Javi, Will, Yura, Olave, Rimando, and
really everyone.. play so well. I like what Checketts said to Kreis when Jason
was doubting himself a little. "Be aggressive". I think Jason is a
great coach and needed a little confidence boost from Checketts which he passed
on to the team. A giant challenge waits for them in Houston but if they can put
a solid effort forth and gain a decent result it could really give the team some
momentum. Go RSL!
todd from santa ana | 1:02 a.m. June 15, 2009
I applaud Real beating the Galaxy and hope they beat the Dynamo, that game will
show if Real is back and even a 1-1 draw would be acceptable there.
Anyone think however, Kreis is a great Coach would mean that Sloanie is an untouchable Phil Jackson like "ICON" like Arnie Red Auerbach.
Sure.

Finally | 9:03 a.m. June 15, 2009
That's the team I am willing to pay money to see.
Keep it up RSL.
Keep it up RSL.
J Crunch | 12:30 p.m. June 15, 2009
Very nice effort. It was great to see Nat Borchers get on the board. He just
comes out and puts in a great work rate every week. I didn't like how much
possession LA was able to keep after the 2nd goal was scored however. We still
need to be able to maintain possession when we have a lead like that. Toward
the end though, LA was clearly gassed. Nice game. I'd love to see us
knock Houston off next week, but realistically, I think a tie would be a great
result.
STEVE-O | 12:38 p.m. June 15, 2009
Great win. Now it's time to play with some consistency! It was great to
see Wingert in his natural position. And Yura is FINALLY starting to play with
a little passion. Hopefully he catches fire and can produce the rest of the
way.
Todd I agree with your Kreis/Sloan comparison overall. But I do give credit to Kreis for changing formations to an attacking style. Something Sloan rarely does (starting CJ Miles ALL season despite low performance).
The 4-3-3 is WAY better and I hope they keep playing offensive soccer even on the road.

Juan's Mustache | 12:50 p.m. June 15, 2009
I am so glad that my new BFF Fedor was able to go and witness the wonderful road
victory of our team. I hope you rode new plane with RSL logo and guy kicking
ball. It is so cool. I was unable to make trip to the lovely California. I went
to the bus stop and they told me I could not use my bus pass for ride to LA. I
was so sad. I had smoke bombs ready because I saw the future and knew that we
would win. And for you J Crunch(It is such clever name ha ha) we must have more
faith that we get wins not ties. I love RSL and see many more success for our
team. Good luck to all other teams cuz they will need it to beat our team.
todd to steve | 3:19 p.m. June 15, 2009
I gave credit. Hopefully, this team will play to its potential and Kreis will
be like a good umpire or ref "you do not notice". I will watch the
Dynamo game which is so huge.,good luck guys. I stated Kreis did a great job
last game inspiring these guys and he did. he looked passionate and into it.
he 4-3-3 worked wonderful or could be considered i guess a 4-5-1 either way it
worked. However, Houston same style do not give them space. However, got to
make them work, lots of passing and movement off the ball like Galaxy game.
They are older with a lot of vets, they can be had but everyone needs to be
disciplined in they're lanes and assignments.
todd from santa ana | 3:21 p.m. June 15, 2009
i would like to meet this Fedor guy. If Fedor you read this contact the Deseret
News as my email should be on file, and have permission to contact me. If you
guys come back here whether Chivas or Galaxy i will try and make it, I want to
meet you....
Go RSL! | 4:16 p.m. June 15, 2009
Great game, let's keep it rolling.
Fedor | 5:19 p.m. June 15, 2009
As I would like to meet you Todd from the Santa Ana. I always like to enjoy
your postings....and opinion on the Utah Jazz. I am not sure how to access
deseret news "on file" so maybe Fedor is just confused.
todd to fedor | 5:29 p.m. June 15, 2009
toddmintz@ymail.com if this gets deleted, contact the deseret news and get my
email. If the deseret news sees this first (they will) please contact Fedor if
you can and give them my email
Big Bear Bruce | 5:50 p.m. June 15, 2009
Hey Todd,
Could I get your phone number? I like any man that loves soccer as much as I do. Just write it in your next post.
