RSL had 1 less win than LA. I thought it was an exciting, hard fought game with a deserved result. LD looked good to me, with the exception of the PK and was dangerous when he got the ball. RSL was the deeper team and this is a team game. Its probably fair to say LD and Becks were the best 2 players on the field, but RSL may have had the 7 of the next 8. PKs are fun, I love seeing them in World Cup, too.

King Alfonso XIII granted the club his royal patronage which came in the form of the title “Real”, roughly translated as “Royal”. Thus, Alfonso’s crown was added to the crest and the club styled itself Real Madrid Club de Fútbol.

Don’t mean to be pedantic, but Salt Lake City doesn’t have a king. I really don’t care either way, but the MLS needs to develop its own history and that includes the “United” clubs as well

The game was exciting. The MLS is redefining the word.

How rediculously competitive is MLS ?

Go ahead and pick next years winner. IF there are 10 responses, there is a chance you don’t see the same pick from any of them. Pretty amazing seeing as there are only 16 teams, one of them an expansion team.

You do realize that ‘Real’ means ‘Royal’ in Spanish and is a designation given to many football teams, not just Real Matrid. Salt Lake did not take this name thinking they were royalty, rather to bring the ‘Real’ name to a club in North America. Just like many teams use ‘United’ in their team name. Should we tell D.C. United that they shouldn’t use ‘United’ because it is “like me nicknaming myself “Magic” while trying to be a tall point guard.”

I like how during the “most important soccer game of the year”, you are off getting popcorn. Couldn’t wait till halftime?

Beckerman and Findley are very underrated

Finally, an exciting game. After watching a weekend of boring European games, this game was actually edge-of-my-seat exciting. Lots of open play and determined players. Penalty shootouts have to be the best sporting event ever. Love ‘em. They should skip overtime since both teams are too tired to put on a good show. Beckerman must run marathons in the offseason; he was sprinting the length of the field all night long.

Nice job RSL.

what you mean. America loves an underdog story. Look at ROCKY. Besides i couldnt keep my eyes off it. You also have to remember that this country has a love hate relationship with the flag ship teams. MLB NY Yankees, NFL Dallas Cowboys, NHL Detroit Red Wings, NBA LA Lakers and Boston Celtics.

I know other then the Cowboys I support the team that is playing them.

I thought it was a good game. The only thing I would change is i would bring back MLS Shootout.

I played Keeper and i always perferred MLS shootout
