Go RSL

Congrats. Now they have a chance to join the Trappers, Grizzlies and Golden Eagles as Salt Lake teams to have won minor league titles.

Great victory. The best team won tonight. Now lets go for the MLS championship. Yeah.................

That was exciting. Listened on the radio and it was hard to figure out what was going on, but I felt like a kid when listening to the radio in a small village in Wisconsin was the only way to follow my favorite teams!

Way to GO RSL!!!!!!

Loved wathcing it on TV here ins Spokane. I'm afraid the whole neighborhood knows RSL won.

They outplayed the Fire and were unlucky not to have won in regulation.

Well done, boys! One to go.

Like I said earlier this year when the Salt Lake press was down on them, Real plays with heart.

Rimando showed us all why he is still the man in there. Espindola got lucky that Rimando saved as many as he did or all we would be talking about is how Espindola lost the game for us. Thank you Ned!

Yeah RSL!!! It's sad that this took the back seat to the U and Jazz game. I couldn't find the game anywhere on local TV here either. Quite disappointing. But, I followed online and on my phone. Still ... GO RSL!

I must humbly admit that I've been pretty vocal about dumping Rimando. He was huge tonight! Saved 3 PKs. Unbeliveable! The whole team played phenominally but he was the hands down man-of-the-match. Without him RSL goes home on PKs. Well done, Rimando!

Congrats, boys!

EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS!

Fantastic run this past month!!! I think this may have been the toughest game in the history of the RSL franchise. Next week's game against Beckham, Donovan & company looks easy compared to tonight's game. Despite LA's darling pretty boys, I think most soccer analysts around the country will be picking RSL to win after tonight's performance. Go RSL!

hey this proves that the team playing the best soccer at the right time no matter what seed or who they are playing, they usually will be the team that moves on. RSL played their last 3-4 games of the season really well from what I saw and is just building off that confidence in the playoffs. GO RSL!!!! BRING HOME THE CUP!!!! Also remember if RSL wins the Cup that will be the first Major sport championship Utah will have. Jazz might need to worry a little and get their act together up there in salt lake and start winning.

Best goal keeping performance I have ever seen in a shootout! Rimando is the man. I was screaming at the TV like it was the national championship.

WOOOOOOHOOO!

Amazing finish to an amazing game! I'm still reeling from those PKs!!! Rimando, you are a freakin stud! We stuffed Chicago all game and continued it through the end! To the Cup, and hopefully coming home with it! RSL, you've made believers out of a lot of cynics...you'll forever have the support of us all! See you all in Seattle!

Ole ole ole ole, ReAL, Salt Lake!!!

Gotta love it...

when a Western Conference team will be able to fly the Eastern Conference title banner. Nice league.
