Things are really starting to come together. It has been a tough 3 years and even though we aren't out of the clear yet one thing has definitely changed...this team is just plain fun to watch. They play hard and they play well. Every game is played to a full effort. Good jobs guys.

Western Conference is a joke? Whatever! You obviously dont know what you are talking about. With the 2 time defending champs in Houston, Chivas, Dallas, and LA I think the Western Conference is the most complete conference top to bottom with the exception of San Jose. Eastern Conference teams are way more mediocre than the Western Conference. Its that fact that the West keeps on beating up on one another that the point totals are so low.

I am SO GLAD RSL is in first place. Thankfully since we have a winning franchise we can all forgive and forget Dave Checketts for wanting to build that stadium in Sandy. All of the fair weather fans and Bandwagon Jumpers can get back on and claim how they have always loved soccer and loved RSL since the beginning......

Awesome game! Well played, great energy, RSL dominated the match. Seems like everyone showed up to play and a nice representation of what a good match looks like. 1st place feels soooooo good! Coach Kries, well done and good call putting Duechar in when the defense was tired. Congrats RSL! Enjoy!

excellent match. Glad I went. I have to say yes, the Western Conf is weaker in pts, but RSL has beat the top 3 Eastern teams at home so far.

When we beat the Fire and TFC in the next few weeks, the sweep will be complete (who cares about NYRB and KC, their losers).

Kries should be fired!!!

He's had one full year and what has he accomplished?

Brought in better players with heart and desire. Elevated the team to contender status. Created a brand of soccer that is fun to watch (even the ties).

Enough already. Get rid of him and lets go back to how it used to be. After all he has no experience.
