MLS teams need to stick with FC, Real Salt Lake sounds like a show on MTV

"Real" in the club's name is the Spanish term for "royal", and was given by the King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem – several other Spanish football teams also received this royal distinction: Real Sociedad, Real Unión de Irún, Real Betis, and Real Zaragoza.

but yeah a tie, no more loses, play like that.

this happenin right now

 

[Jntg4]

Ya, and I hate FC names. I'd rather have the Dallas Burn and the Kansas City Wizards over FC Dallas and Sporting Kansas City. Just my personal preference.

 

[Jntg4]

Close call, but luck was on our side w/ that header.

 

[Jntg4]

Anibaba w/ a nice slide tackle...

 

[Jntg4]

RSL Free Kick Fail

 

[Jntg4]

Chaves's Long Distance Shot misses

 

[Jntg4]

Off-sides... damn it.

Bad call.

 

[Jntg4]

This game is destined to be scoreless IMO... Johnson's been great lately and RSL's allowed only 8 goals all season.

 

[Jntg4]

RSL looking like the stronger team so far, but not by too much.

 

[Jntg4]

RSL basically just had a power play.

 

[Jntg4]

What a save by Johnson!

Johnson says no!

 

[Jntg4]

He misses! Hits the side of the net... thank God!

 

[Jntg4]

Fire putting pressure on...

 

[Jntg4]

1 min of stoppage time before the half.

 

[Jntg4]

RSL gets a yellow for tripping Oduro.

 

[Jntg4]

Half-time.

 

[Jntg4]

Castro singles and I flip back just in time for the start of the 2nd half.

 

[Jntg4]

Chaves fouled...
