Sounded great from the radio. Would've been nice if it was on tv, but I'll take it!

Great win, great effort, way to go, RSL!

um anon

The games are all on T.V. just watch channel 2's digital channel 2.2

to um anon

it wasn't on tv in utah even on 2.2

team

Andy Williams was awesome! It is so good to see him on the field. He better start Saturday. Team looked great, fun win.

Awesome game! This is the team that needs to show up at every game! I love the focus and the non-celebration after the first goal. Tonight was all business. Now boys carry that attitude to KC!

What a great night! I really liked the lineup tonight with Robbie Findley coming in as a second-half super sub. Andy was great tonight. He does such a great job of maintaining control and winning balls that Javi would never win. It will present a dilemma when Javi gets healthy. I'd like to see the same lineup Saturday.

You all cannot believe I am praising a coach huh?

I watched the game and loved it. The agony was watching bias Chivas announcer and boring color.

He did what we wanted!!! Mathis and Findley had to get time off the pine...Look what impact they caused in breaking this baby open!!!!

The man of the match to Beloved Chivas Tv Findlay for me awesome, I go with Kreis and Johnson


Defensively, solid, pressed high in the first half smothered the ball lots of double teams forcing Chivas to give up possession.

Brilliant lineup!!! even Ned got time!!

Campos scored awesome goal, I questioned all the plays in the first half starting by Javier down the left and the finising or execution lacked but he made up for it getting the 2nd goal and assisting on the opener. Andy and Mathis great assists in Findley (my favorite player)scoring the final 2 goals.

You guys wanted more ground oriente from the mids-Johnson took on people dribbled and we played beautifully along the ground. Nick only had to make one save. the negative (usual lack discipline and Johnson out for kc).


KC (0-2) under Vermes. No letdowns Saturday!

A night 4 goals. 3 in 20 minutes. Chivas I told you guys stink.....

A disappointment maybe Fedor can comment 14 thousand (boo) and most late arrivals (how can someone be a late arrival for a 2 hour match)

Kreis did not hand Mathis and Findlay positions. I even saw Jason smile. Look this team responded. It was awesome i have waited since opening night for this kind of entertainment. Unlike many games we start strong then teeter off, tonight it did not happen-look at shots on goal....shots period. My one worry spot i though Espindola slow to cover and i was scared that header potentially by Chivas could have tied this one in the 67th minute but was wide.

Nick thank your defense, they did a superb job tonight and Kyle celebrated playing for USA with another stellar job.


Let us hope this contines Saturday. It has to.

Is anyone going to KC for the game? yeah Fedor likely. That stadium there looks neat and cozy, whoever goes will probably love the atmosphere. Kevin Hartman still great but Kc NOT!!!

To Crunch

Totally agreed. Andy Williams is such a great veteran to the team, and an excellent player. I like Morales, but Williams is way more poised. Findley is one of, if not the, best forward in MLS. I think he should go to the national team, not Beckerman. But meh.

todd from santa ana

what a tribute that touched my heart tonight the chant from the Real fans "Andy Williams"

These are the kind of issues that attract me about smaller communities supporting theyr'e players and caring about them as people not just the playing ability what a night of soccer dear REAL fans...

Wow

Although some feelings were undoubtedly hurt because the game didn't end in a 0-0 tie, those players really earned their orange slices and capri-suns tonight baby!

They ran all over the place and kicked the ball and the goalie was the ONLY person who touched the ball with his hands!!!

what a joke

Would someone just put these clowns out of the misery already?

DJ & PK

huh

Wow- Get a brain

Awesome win for RSL. They will make the playoffs I'm sure

Ummp Again

What a boring game. Sorry all you foreigners but I'm waiting for real salt lake to be sold to Las Vegas or someplace where there are more foreigners who like your sissy game more

McKay

Don't feed the trolls, they aren't worthy of a response

WOW

13 posts before a troll came in to show his ignorance. Its a new record.

RSL was outstanding last night, props to Kreis for cahnging things up, Big props to Andy Williams, he played like he hasn't missed a game all year, best wishes Andy.

playoff?

It was a great win. But it won't mean much if they lose again on the road on Saturday. They have to win some road games if they want to make the playoffs, and KC is probably the most likely one they can pull off, if they don't come out of their with 3 points they are done.

Campos Goal

Was the lack of celebration after the Campos goal because they were all business or because nobody likes him? There was lots of celebrating with Espindola.

My wife and I caught right off the bat last night that no one else celebrated with Campos. Anybody else out there know what is going on?

Can't believe the Jykell/Hyde thing with this team. Clobbering people at home on a regular basis and then getting thrashed routinely on the road. Sounds like a coaching issue to me. Enough complaining already, great win. We need more to make that final push into the playoffs. Good job RSL! Now, take it to KC on the road and thump'em. GO RSL!!!!

Good Question

about the Campos goal. He did seem to have a good moment with the coach.
