RSL 2012 News Thread (Regular Season)

I love the fact that this thread is now open!

 

My two new banners for the new season. Can't wait to get started. GO RSL!

 

Nice... very nice!

 

Those are amazing!

Must spread rep..

 

I think it's pretty retarded when people use words like this, but those are ********ing epic

because of my office moving and having to work 60+ hours this week mine have been put on the back burner. Monday is the beginning of 2 if not 3.

Goob, are you making an AW Tribute banner at all?

 

Not yet but I will. I know just the picture to use. I hope it works.

 

That Will Power banner is sick!!!!!!

 

where the hell is the graph, balance
I want the graph!!!

 

Patience is not one of your virtues? OK, here it is. It's nice to be wanted.

We have to be honest here, we were lucky to win. The woodwork was our friend. But, our defense did come up big several times, as did Nicky.

And, we played exceptionally considering that we had several long-time starters out and a rookie who was playing JC soccer 6 months ago. Velasquez completely deserved MotM, IMO.

Graph, the most important thing to note is how long there is to go with this season.

 

lol, i was just about to post this same exact thing.

good thing balance is quick to the trigger.

 

i said the same thing last year. then before i knew it the season was over. it always seems like a long road, but man does it fly by.

 

I'll never understand why Rimando doesn't get Keeper of the year. He makes saves like tonight game in and game out and is consistently in the top 3 in every stat category.

 

He may be keeper of the decade. That sounds like a job for that Climbing the Ladder guy!

 

It was only the first game of the season (an away game) and I already need coughdrops.

Thanks for the links,
Still feeling high from last night

 

So, who do you guys gets MLS Player of the Week and Goal of the Week? I think I've seen all of the goals now and the Crapids goal will probably get the votes, but maybe we can swing the voting for Fabis.

Not sure who gets POTW.

 

I don't think I saw these predictions posted before: http://www.mlssoccer.com/blog/post/2012/03/10/armchair-analyst-lets-just-get-these-out-there

Look at who Doyle has picked for the SS.

 

Well, I hope he's as accurate this year as he was last year. I still think that RSL's focus should be the SS and getting through to the knockout stages of CCL - it would be as satisfying as Saturday's win over the winner-heir apparent. I like that Doyle doesn't pick LA to win anything this year

 

Well, it's just a fan poll, and only at SBI, but right now Real Salt Lake is in the lead w/ 6400% of the vote - I think someone goofed on the formatting

Which MLS team impressed you the most in the opening weekend?


Might as well go and vote and see if we can get over 7000% of the vote.

 

Definitely Vancouver. A home win against an expansion team is a true feat!

 

So nobody on MLSSoccer picked our game right, it was all draws and LA Wins.

Also, how badly does this dumpster fire of a video segment need to be baby-seal-clubbed into extinction?

So our reserves are playing in Dallas tomorrow. I know its been mentioned but it seems kind of ridiculous that our team was already in LA, or NY is coming here this week, but we have to fly out our team and coaches to Dallas for this. Any idea who is traveling?
