Chicago defeated the Revolution 2-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference Final of the MLS Cup Playoffs where they will have the privilege of hosting RSL (A.K.A. – The team no one wants right now) on Saturday. Chicago and RSL are walking two completely different paths to get to this point. Chicago sort of stagnated at [...]

Click photo to enlargeSteve Pastorino Once again, the inexperienced coach flinched. The veteran coach didn't change his steely stare or his time-tested lineup. In an overwhelming turn of events, as measured by both record and conventional wisdom, Real Salt Lake swept top-seeded Columbus in the Eastern Conference semifinals this week. And RSL coach Jason Kreis deserves all the credit. In May 2006, when...

RSL was down on the strength of two Schelotto goals by the 35th minute and it appeared as if Crew would be able to get over the one goal disadvantage and advance to the quarter finals. But RSL struck...

YOUR TAKE: Give me your thoughts on the game. Will the Crew's playoff demise be blamed on rookie coach Robert Warzycha's decision to sit out Guille Barros Schelotto and Alejandro Moreno in Game 1 because of "tactical reasons"? Think Barros Schelotto will return next year?

... surprise to absolutely nobody. "We're a great team," midfielder Andy Williams insisted. Who knew? RSL had been one of the worst teams in Major League Soccer on the road during the regular season, and had lost all 11 games when it allowed the first goal away from home. Never in its history had it come back from two goals down to win on the road. Yet that's exactly what it did against the defending...

took 3 unanswered goals to the Columbus Crew tonight and the Crew (the best team in the league all season) is out. I only have one thing to say…MAN, did I pick the right team to adopt or what!? There’s something about this win for RSL that screams inflation and deflation. On one hand RSL is [...]

So will God I imagine (not just because the bumper stickers tell you so but because baseball is finally over). Will you?

RSL holds a slight 1-0 lead in the goals department in this two-legged series thanks to the late goal from Robbie Findley last weekend. Now is really where the fun begins for each side. Columbus went [...]

Forget the lousy road record. Forget the maddening regular season. Heck, it might be time to forget everything you thought you knew about Real Salt Lake. These guys know how to rise to the occasion. For the second season in a row, lightly regarded RSL engineered a stunning first-round upset in the Major League Soccer playoffs, this time upending the defending champion Columbus Crew by scoring three...

With kickoff of the Columbus-Real Salt Lake playoff match a few hours away, a few items to share..... *Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Alejandro Moreno have been told by Coach Robert Warzycha that they will start tonight after sitting out for tactical reasons in the first leg last weekend. One contact told me that Schelotto, the 2008 MLS most valuable player, was "upset and disappointed" about...
