Comments about ‘Spectacular defense has Real Salt Lake in East Final’

None of them ever touch the ball with their hands and they can run really really really really really FAST!!!!!!!!

Nat has been solid all year and is well deserving of the award. He goes under the radar quite a bit which is a good sign he is doing job admirably.

congrats to nat on the team MVP award. he's a fantastic, consistent, and highly underrated player! good luck to the lions in the semis. i like our chances against chicago! should be a great game!

I really like Nat. As the article stated, he just consistent. He's not going to make many errors. He's smart, and I think he helps keep things organized in the back. Nice, solid, consistent player. I know there are those who comment on this board who don't like him, but I completely disagree. Nice work Nat! Give us two more games this year of your consistent, solid D.

This article makes some good points. I have been very critical of Borchers and some of it was unfair. Borchers is consistent. He has definitely improved this year especially his passing. Towards the end of the year he has done a better job of staying in the right position. Congrats Nat on the MVP award.

I do think it is a bit odd to talk about our spectacular defense and not get 1 freaking quote from Olave. I know, I know he doesn't speak English but how hard is i to get a translator? Javi or Kyle could probably do it, lol. Seriously I would do it anytime. I have talked to Jamison twice and both times he was very, very nice and humble. I believe part of the reason some of the fans don't truly appreciate Olave the way they should and like Nat so much more is the media here never talks to Olave. I will gladly help translate for you anytime. Heck if RSL needs me to help Jamison learn English I would do it for free.

So glad that Beltran is healthy again.

Chaddders, you bring up a great point. Not only has the media done a poor job of connecting with Olave, but the team has done a poor job of making him accessible. Provide a translator. Tino has done a great job in the past.

Chadders, now that you mention it, I've never heard any interview with Olave. I think the dude is a stud! It would be nice to get to know him a little better.
