Re: Huh, why do you have to throw a wet blanket on such a great moment? That sheds light on a poor personality. GO RSL!

Excited! | 8:39 p.m. Nov. 15, 2009
I have had a huge smile on my face all day from last night's game! I would have been there today but I'm from Michigan originally and I had to continue my Sunday tradition of watching the Lions lose. GO RSL!
Amazing win! | 12:14 a.m. Nov. 16, 2009
Re: Huh?, You like many other haters are probably oblivious to many obvious facts. Guess what? Utah also has an NBA team called the Utah Jazz. NBA stands for National Basketball Association incase you were oblivious to that too. Get back to playing your computer games, you nerd.
I too had a HUGE smile on my face all day today. I LOVE soccer, and am so excited to our team bring home the Cup. RSL is winning over many new fans everywhere. What a magical time this is for Utah and for the Beautiful game! RSL all the way!! Bring home the Cup! you thoroughly earned it this year.

What other professional teams out there are greeted by their fans on their return home, and show that they enjoy the fans being there for them. NBA players would have their crews and would stay away from the fans like a disease. NFL players would walk stonefaced through such an event. Only MLS has the players who care for those who support them.

That is awesome. I'm sure the group will be even bigger next week.

that is why one of many reasons I love soccer. The players appreciate and care about theyr'e fans.

RSL are heroes, they are true sports heroes.

On that plane ride to seattle the players will remember and smile at the wonderful welcome home they received and know the "12th man" the fans are right there with them when that extra breath, burst of energy needs to arrive.

I will be doing my part of being the 12th man, I will be cheering them on from the RSL section in Seattle lets beat LA boys.
