REAL SALT LAKE vs SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES RIO TINTO STADIUM, Sandy, Utah

June 23, 2012 (WEEK 16, MLS Game #143) 7 p.m. MT (KUCW-30; CSN-CA) A top-of-the-table clash in the Western Conference is ahead when Real Salt Lake play host to the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. Real saw their seven-game undefeated run come to an end at midweek, the LA Galaxy storming back for a 3-2 victory in Sandy. The Earthquakes yet once again provided some late dramatics, getting another stoppage-time goal for a victory in a 2-1 midweek win in Colorado. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

The Earthquakes grabbed a stunning victory when the clubs met earlier this season, goals from Simon Dawkins and Chris Wondolowski in stoppage time leading to a 3-1 win April 21 at Buck Shaw Stadium.

It was San Jose’s first win in league play against RSL since May 30, 2009, and ended a two-game losing streak to Real in Santa Clara. Real had won three of the five previous meetings, with two draws.

Real went a man down just 29 minutes into the match, when Fabian Espíndola was sent off for a two-footed, studs-up challenge on San Jose midfielder Sam Cronin.

The Quakes were then able to take advantage in first-half stoppage time. Khari Stephenson snuck a header past RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando for his first goal of the season, rising to meet a curling cross from fullback Steven Beitashour.

The visitors drew even in the 53rd minute. Kyle Beckerman ignited the buildup, creating a turnover in midfield and quickly getting the ball back via Jonny Steele’s cutting pass off the left wing. Beckerman ran onto it after a dummy, and then maneuvered past two San Jose defenders before rolling home from 14 yards out.

RSL went another man down in the 69th minute when Jamison Olave was ejected by referee Elias Bazakos after taking down Quakes forward Steven Lenhart at the edge of the area.

It took the home side until the 90 minutes were complete to take advantage, but they finally did with two goals in a minute. Two minutes into stoppage time, Simon Dawkins sent home a diving header off a right-wing cross from Beitashour, then Chris Wondolowski scored his league-leading eighth goal off a short chip from Stephenson inside Real Salt Lake’s penalty area.

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-4-1-1): Jon Busch - Steven Beitashour, Ike Opara (Alan Gordon 75), Jason Hernandez, Justin Morrow - Tressor Moreno, Sam Cronin (Steven Lenhart 61), Rafael Baca (Sam Garza 82), Simon Dawkins - Khari Stephenson - Chris Wondolowski.

REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake saw their seven-game undefeated streak ended in dramatic fashion, falling 3-2 to the LA Galaxy on Wednesday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. Real lead the Western Conference with 32 points from 16 games. LAST MATCH

Real had the lead after just nine minutes. Chris Wingert fed Fabián Espíndola on the right flank, and the Argentinean beat Todd Dunivant to the endline and sent it across the middle for Kyle Beckerman, who tapped home for the opener.

Then in the 24th minute, Espíndola played creator again, sending another ball to the middle to Álvaro Saborío. Saborío got just a piece of the cross, sending it bouncing up in the air a couple of times before settling in the lower-left corner of the net.

But five minutes later, the Galaxy started their climb back. RSL defender Tony Beltran, deep in his own third, tried to send a pass back to ‘keeper Nick Rimando six minutes later. Landon Donovan saw the pass coming and rushed to intercept the ball and deposited it after rounding Rimando.

Real's giving mood continued just five minutes into the second half, with Jámison Olave giving the ball away to Donovan about 30 yards from goal. The Galaxy captain hit a perfect through-ball to Mike Magee, who took a touch and hit a brilliant, left-foot strike to the right corner that caromed off the inside of the post.

The Galaxy completed the comeback in the 68th minute. Magee sent a ball from the left over the top toward Donovan, who beat an onrushing Rimando to ball, took one touch past the 'keeper and calmly curled it into the open net for the winner.

RSL head coach Jason Kreis made no changes to the team that strolled to a 3-0 win against Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center.

REAL SALT LAKE (4-1-3-2): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Jamison Olave (Luis Gil 64), Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Kyle Beckerman - Will Johnson, Ned Grabavoy (Paulo Junior 80), Jonny Steele (Javier Morales 60) - Fabian Espindola, Alvaro Saborio.

TEAM NEWS Real blew a 2-goal lead to lose a league game for the first time in the club’s history, after 233 games in MLS

competition. "It's pretty bewildering to be up 2-0 and lose a game 3-2," said defender Nat Borchers. "We made some

mistakes. We all know we made some bad mistakes in terms of our possession, and they made us pay. Let's give them some credit. They were definitely ice-cold when it came to finishing those chances and they deserve that win.”

The loss also put an end to the club’s five-game home winning streak, matching the longest in RSL history. ”I thought we approached the game in the right way. We were really aggressive with our spirit and aggressive

with the ball. We got the ball in their half of the field, strung some nice passes together, got some nice chances to score and took them,” said RSL head coach Jason Kreis. “I’m really, really pleased with how we started the match and then not pleased with a lot of things from there.”

After scoring two goals vs. Chivas USA at the weekend – his third career two-goal game in MLS – Fabian Espindola turned provider, setting up both goals vs. LA. It was his first career two-assist game in MLS.

For a second consecutive match, Jamison Olave was removed just after the hour mark, with midfielder Luis Gil replacing him in the Galaxy match.

“It’s injury related. He’s carrying an injury and I think everybody can see it’s affecting him. He also was ill yesterday,” said Kreis. “We are very, very thin on the back line. If we had a healthy Schuler, we probably wouldn’t have played Olave, but at the moment we don’t really have a true center back, so now you’re talking about shifting players all over the place. And, I was trying to get in a little more attack otherwise I’d put in Tanaka--defender for defender. But, I was trying to be positive and go for three points at home.”

Javier Morales came on the final half-hour for a second consecutive match, which came after missing two games following five consecutive starts April 21-May 9.

“He’s getting there,” Kreis said. “You know I think that come Saturday we take a real strong look on whether or not he can start and at least give us 45-60 and build him towards 90.”

Luis Gil also shook off an injury suffered in a U.S. under-20 national team camp to come off the bench for the final 26 minutes.

“It felt good, especially getting back on the field so quickly,” said Gil. “I feel like I’ve got to get back into that rhythm, though. Obvioulsy, time off takes that away and you feel a little slow; just getting back into the soccer rhythm, getting back on the ball, more confidence.

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes once again recorded a dramatic comeback in stoppage time, getting two late goals for a 2-1 win against the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday. The Quakes are in second place in the Western Conference with 30 points from 15 games.


LAST MATCH The home side took the lead after 18 minutes. After surging down the wing, right back Hunter Freeman crossed

to an open Brian Mullan at the far post, and he made no mistake with the pinpoint service, heading inside the back post.

But the Quakes yet again had some late heroics in their bag. In the 83rd minute, after Colorado goalkeeper Matt Pickens denied Steven Lenhart's point-blank chance, San Jose's Alan Gordon and Freeman came crashing in at the far post, and the rebound caromed off the Rapids defender into the net.

Then in stoppage time, Gordon drew a penalty after Pickens’ flailing dive at the ball, where the 'keeper appeared to catch Gordon’s boot. Chris Wondolowski stepped to the spot and buried the resulting penalty for the match-winner.

Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop made five changes to the team that suffered a 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City at Livestrong Sporting Park. David Bingham came in at goal for the suspended Jon Busch, Victor Bernardez came into the back four for Ramiro Corrales, Sam Cronin entered the midfield for Brad Ring, and Steven Lenhart and Chris Wondolowski came into the team for Khari Stephenson and Alan Gordon.

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-3-1-2): David Bingham - Steven Beitashour (Shea Salinas 75), Jason Hernandez, Victor Bernardez, Justin Morrow - Rafael Baca (Alan Gordon 65), Sam Cronin (Khari Stephenson 70), Marvin Chavez - Simon Dawkins - Steven Lenhart, Chris Wondolowski.

TEAM NEWS For the sixth time in nine league matches, the Quakes scored the tying or winning goal in the 88th minute or

later. “We kept going until the end, which we’ve done all year,” Quakes coach Frank Yallop said. “I said to the guys,

‘It doesn’t matter if you score in the first minute or the last minute. The game’s 90 minutes. You’ve got to make sure you’re as good in the first as you are in the last.'”

Said Chris Wondolowski: “I didn’t think we were playing our best, but we were creating opportunities, which is all you can really ask for. I thought our defense did really well trying to limit their opportunities. It was great to keep pounding away and get those goals.”

The Quakes have scored 10 goals in the game’s final quarter-hour, most in MLS, and 18 from the 60th minute on, also most in the league.

“We have character, we have heart and we have a lot of guys that don’t give up. We’ve got competitors and guys that really want to win,” said Alan Gordon. “That’s the difference. It comes down to heart at the end and who’s willing to make the extra run, and battle the extra bit.”

Returning to the team after missing two matches while on international duty, Wondolowski scored the game-winner from the penalty spot and regained the lead in the MLS Golden Boot race, one ahead of New York’s Kenny Cooper.

“I’m not sure if comfortable is the right word, but we know that we’re never going to give up. We know that we have it,” Wondolowski said. “We come into the locker room down 1-0 and everyone is positive, everyone knows we’re going to keep fighting until the last second on the clock. That’s just our mentality. Anytime a sub comes in, he raises our level and gives us energy.”

As well, the Quakes scored the game-winning goals in both of their U.S. Open Cup matches in the final 20 minutes. They return home for a quarterfinal match vs. holders Seattle Sounders FC next Tuesday at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.

“We just keep doing it game in and game out,” Gordon said. “I don’t think it’s a mistake. … We want to get the first goal and keep the lead, but that’s not the way the games have been going. We’ve been doing well in the situations that we’ve been put in, and showing a lot of character, but that’s not a habit that we want to get into. We want to start playing a little bit better from the get go, and get on the front foot for a change.”

After suffering fractured ribs in a training ground collision, rookie Sam Garza will be out an expected 4-6 weeks. The trip to Salt Lake completes a two-game road swing of the Mountain states for San Jose, over a four-day

span. “The lack of oxygen, obviously the guys from Colorado and Salt Lake are used to it,” Yallop said. “They train

every day in it. When you go in there, you don’t think it makes a difference. It’s not a big, big difference, but it is a difference.”

“CALI WEEK” CONTINUES AT RIO TINTO: Real Salt Lake continues its fourth 3-game week of the 2012 MLS regular season by continuing its California trifecta, welcoming the Western Conference’s current #2 side, San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday ... San Jose visits on the heels of RSL’s 3-0 road win over the weekend against Chivas and Wednesday night’s 2-3 loss to Los Angeles ...

The SJ game marks the 3rd match of eight in a 35-day span from June 16-July 21, after RSL played just one MLS match in 35 days from May 12-June 16 ...

Saturday’s Earthquakes match continues a run that sees 4 of RSL’s 5 matches on Utah soil - where it has lost just 10 of 81 games in all competitions since Jason Kreis’ first full season (2008) - and a homestand of 6 out of 8 leading up to and including July 27 ... A gauntlet of West teams proceed through Rio Tinto Stadium, as LA (2-3 L), SJ, SEA, POR, COL and VAN visit the Wasatch Front ...

LOSS OF GALACTIC PROPORTIONS:Real Salt Lake’s 2-3 home loss Wednesday snapped the team’s 5-game home MLS win streak and overall 7-game MLS unbeaten run, while RSL coughed up a 2-goal lead for a loss for the first time ever in its 234-game MLS history ... The disappointing, self-inflicted mistakes that led to the loss caused RSL to suffer back-to-back losses in all competitions at Rio Tinto Stadium for the first time ever (70 games since Oct. 2008) and dropped RSL to only 6-6-4 in 16 sellouts at the Sandy venue ...

RSL PROBABLE STARTERS v SAN JOSE

RSL FIRST TO 10 WINS IN 2012:This year’s total of 10 wins - in only the club’s first 16 games of 2012 - meets or exceeds the total number of victories by RSL in several past campaigns, including 2005 (5), 2006 (10), 2007 (6) and 2010 (10) ...

DEMONSTRATING ROAD FORTITUDE IN 2012: The week started with a win at Chivas on Saturday that improved RSL to 4-2-2 away from its Rio Tinto Stadium fortress this year, the 14 points already amassed on the road just five shy of matching the club record set last year by the historically road-weary side ... RSL’s all-time MLS regular season road mark improves to 23-65-29 (.300; 112 GF / 189 GA) through 117 road contests in League play … Since Jason Kreis took over in May, 2007, RSL’s MLS road mark is 19-41-24, with the new team mark of five road wins in 2011 exceeding the four achieved in 2010, and more than doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … Last year’s 5-8-4 road mark was good for 19 points, matching the 2010 team-record total (4-4-7 in 2010) …

ONLY TWO IRON MEN REMAIN 15 GAMES IN: Due to early-season injury concerns, schedule congestion and disciplinary situations for RSL, only two players - DF Tony Beltran & FW Alvaro Saborio - have appeared in every MLS game thus far, with only Beltran starting all 15, surpassing Captain Kyle Beckerman, who had played every one of 1,170 minutes through the first 13 matches prior to last month’s U.S. duty (26 minutes in 5-1 W v Scotland, 15 minutes in 1-4 L v Brazil and 1 minute in 1-1 WCQ draw at Guatemala) ...

AMID FOURTH OF SEVEN “3-GAME WEEKS”:RSL enters Saturday hoping to secure 6 points from the current week, unable after the LA loss to repeat the feat achieved during March 31-April 7, when it started on road at Portland with a 3-goal effort and returned home for back-to-back shutout wins to complete the perfect 3-0-0 sweep, the 2nd ever in 24 previous 3-game weeks ...

The May 12 trip to Seattle secured 7 of a possible 9 points for RSL as it concluded the third of five “3-game weeks” for RSL this season, the only one of the quintet to start at home, with RSL visiting CHI and SEA in the following days ... With RSL’s CONCACAF slate falling as it has, two more 3-game weeks occur in July/Aug ...

YELLOW PERIL FOR RSL TRIO:In the April 21 1-3 loss at San Jose, RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman earned his fourth yellow card of the year, placing the 13-year veteran in danger of a one-game suspension with his fifth caution, per league regulations ... However, as Beckerman appeared in three consecutive games without a booking since, the MLS “Good Behavior Incentive” kicked in, reducing the Crofton, Maryland native’s total to three ... In Chicago on May 9, the RSL Captain earned a 72’ yellow card, earning notice for suspension with his next booking ...

Joining the RSL captain is FW Alvaro Saborio, who received his fourth yellow card of the year on Saturday at Chivas ... Sabo is eligible for the good behavior incentive, in which case he will see his total reduced to three cautions IF he can go without a booking in upcoming games v SJ and at CLB on June 30 ...

RSL MF Javier Morales joined Saborio and Beckerman in the danger zone with his caution on Wednesday, the Argentine talisman searching for discipline-free games v SJ, @CLB and v SEA on July 4 ...

2010 MLS Defender of the Year and 2010/11 MLS Best XI Defender Jamison Olave also has 3 cautions on the season, at the precipice of the danger zone ...

RIMANDO CLIMBING ALL-TIME MLS CHARTS: Nick Rimando’s victory over Chivas allowed the veteran ‘keeper to earn career win #130, just one win short of former NY/CHI GK Zach Thornton (131 wins) in the MLS career record books for second place all-time ... Active DAL netminder Kevin Hartman has 174 career victories, but has played 96 games more than Rimando, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Sunday, June 17 ...

FABI Y SABO - TRUE STRIKE PARTNERS:On an individual note, the two-goal brace by FW Fabian Espindola Saturday at Chivas allowed the sixth-year striker to extend his lead atop the all-time RSL regular-season goal-scoring table, with 35 career goals in 109 games ... Wednesday against LA, Espindola set up his partner, FW Alvaro Saborio, with career goal #41 across all competitions in only 76 games, six more than the Argentine when considering postseason and CONCACAF Champions League outputs ...

In their time together at RSL since Sabo’s arrival in 2010, the duo have combined for 76 goals (62 MLS, 4 Playoff, 10 CONCACAF - RSL has 146 total, in 91 games) and have each scored in the same game 7 times ...

Espindola also set up Captain Kyle Beckerman’s 9th minute salvo, giving him RSL’s 3rd multi-assist game of the season ... Beckerman had 2 assists in the 3-0 at Chivas on Saturday, while Beltran had 2 assists on April 7 against Colorado ...


SABORIO STRIKES BACK IN RUN OF PLAY: On Wednesday, RSL FW Alvaro Saborio flicked home a cross from Espindola to put RSL up 2-0 in only the 24th minute ... Despite the score, RSL went on to lose ony its fourth game all-time when seeing a Saborio strike, falling to 24-4-5 in games in which Saborio - who has 41 goals in 76 games across all competitions since arriving in Utah in early 2010 ...

Each of the last two losses have come against LA, Wednesday and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul), compared to the 16-17-15 mark when he plays and does not score, as well as RSL’s 7-3-4 record when Sabo is unavailable …

On March 31 at Portland, “Sabo” set up MF Ned Grabavoy in alone on the ‘keeper, but a defensive handball in the box was whistled for the late first-half penalty, setting the stage for Saborio to slot home the resultant PK, making him a perfect 9-for-9 from the spot in an RSL uniform (6-for-6 in reg. season games, 3-for-3 in CONCACAF) ...

Back on May 5, Sabo headed home a Javier Morales free kick for what proved to be his club-record 11th career game-winning goal, tops in RSL history after just 66 MLS games ...

INT’L DUTY A MIXED BAG FOR RSL QUINTET:The five RSL players who departed for international duty in last month returned to action this week, as RSL captain and MF Kyle Beckerman & GK Nick Rimando were called into the United States’ camp by manager Jurgen Klinsmann and have been gone since May 15, the duo missing the dramatic 3-2 win over FC Dallas ... Beckerman saw 1 minute of WCQ action, replacing Landon Donovan late in the 1-1 draw at Guatemala last Tuesday, and saw spot duty in friendlies against Scotland and Brazil for the USA ... Rimando did not see the field in any of the five games ...

Canadian MF Will Johnson & Costa Rican FW Alvaro Saborio – each of whom departed immediately following the win over Dallas to report to their respective senior teams in preparation for CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying – saw extensive international action, Johnson starting and playing a full 90 in each of Canada’s three games (0-0 friendly vs. U.S., 1-0 W at Cuba and 0-0 home draw vs. Honduras) ... Saborio did not appear in Costa Rica’s friendly against Guatemala, but started and scored early in a 2-2 home draw with El Salvador and provided a hat trick – the Ticos’ first road hat trick in WCQ in 55 years – in a 4-0 win at Guyana, the quartet of goals in the two games giving Sabo 12 qualifying scores for CRC, trailing only the 21 scored by Costa Rican legend Paulo Wanchope (21) ...

Teenage RSL MF Luis Gil joined the U.S. U-20 camp briefly following RSL’s 1-3 Open Cup loss, but suffered a R knee MCL sprain in the first Houston- based training session, forcing him to return to SLC and miss that side’s subsequent trips to Uruguay and Chile ... Gil’s young MCL healed quickly, however, and he came on as a sub Wednesday night against Los Angeles ...

YET ANOTHER BRACE FOR RSL STRIKERS: FW Fabian Espindola scored his two-goal ‘brace’ Saturday @ CHV - the third of his now 109-game MLS career - as RSL resumed MLS play, after strike partner Alvaro Saborio provided two 2-goal outputs in May ... RSL saw its 35th multi-goal individual game in RSL history, across 271 games in all competitions [MLS (234), Playoff (12), CCL (12) & Open Cup (13)], with 23 of those 35 multi-goal games coming at home …

The two-goal “brace” was leaves Espindola 7 multi-goal games behind Saborio’s club-high 10 career multi-goal performances in 76 MLS/CCL/Open Cup/Playoff competitions doubles the total of #2 Jeff Cunningham (5) and Javier Morales/Robbie Findley with 4 “braces,” while “Sabo” owns the club’s lone postseason multi-goal match, last Fall against SEA in the West Semis ...

Other RSL players to score 2+ goals in a game include: Movsisyan and Kreis (2x each), along with Paulo Junior, Will Johnson, Kyle Beckerman, Atiba Harris and Chris Brown, who have each also scored twice in a game …

When an RSL player scores 2 or more goals in a game, the team has posted a 26-3-4 all-time mark … Besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in CCL play and the 4-6 loss at Minnesota in Open Cup action, when was the lone MLS loss? … June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown’s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 loss:

LATE DRAMA PART OF RSL DNA - BORCHERS’ TURN FOR 3RD TIME THIS YEAR: DF Nat Borchers’ game-winning goal on May 26 against Dallas marked the 3rd time in this season’s 10 wins that RSL rode a 93+’ game-winning goal to victory, all in games led 1-0 by the club at some point ... Borchers’ heroics marked the 19th all-time go-ahead goal scored by RSL in the final 15 minutes of a regular-season MLS or CCL game, and evoked memories of his 93+’ equalizer back in the fall of 2010 at home against rival Colorado ...

A month prior, MF Jonny Steele’s 93+’ game-winning goal April 28 against Toronto was the 2nd in a month, after the Claret & Cobalt went nearly a year without the late drama ... On 3/31 in Portland, it was Steele’s 89’ equalizer that pulled RSL back, setting the stage for MF Kyle Beckerman’s 93+’ game-winner … RSL’s last previous late game-winner came on May 7, 2011, when MF Will Johnson finally broke through in the 87’ after RSL had a 2-man advantage for nearly 50 minutes in the game most remember due to the horrific ankle injury suffered by playmaker Javier Morales … All-time lists for equalizers and GWG: RSL GAME-WINNERS AFTER 75’ (19 total) 93+...............

FLIPSIDE OF STOPPAGE TIME IS A KILLER: However, RSL has seen the flipside of those late heroics, as 4 consecutive goals allowed at San Jose and at Dallas were conceded during added time in either the first half (47+ at SJ, 46+ at DAL on a disputed PK) or second half stoppage (92+ and 93+ with only nine men on field at SJ) ...

STREAKING COMES TO AN END:Real Salt Lake’s 3-0 road win Sat at Chivas extended the squad’s road unbeaten streak to four games - the second-longest unbeaten run away from home in franchise history, trailing only the nine-game road undefeated streak from Aug. 7, 2010 – April 9, 2011 ... Wednesday’s home loss to LA prevented RSL’s first-ever 6-game home win streak, and snapped its overall unbeaten run at 7 games ... Below are the team’s various home undefeated streaks from 2005-present (reg. season only):

ALL-TIME RSL HOME UNDEFEATED STREAKSG START END 29 06/06/2009 05/14/2011 (all-time MLS record)12 03/29/2008 08/29/2008 6 06/04/2011 07/23/2011 6 10/09/2008 05/06/2009 5 04/04/2012 06/20/2012 5 05/20/2006 07/04/2006 4 (multiple occasions)

In addition, RSL sought an extension of the club’s overall seven-game unbeaten run, the team’s last loss prior to Wednesday coming on April 21 at San Jose, in a game that featured a pair of RSL red cards ... RSL’s overall unbeaten runs:

ALL-TIME RSL UNDEFEATED STREAKS (REG. SEASON)G START END 18 07/24/2010 04/13/201110 05/01/2010 07/08/2010 7 06/11/2011 07/23/2011 7 04/25/2012 06/20/2012 5 (multiple occasions)

JOHNSON GOAL HAD RSL EVEN ALL-TIME:Real Salt Lake’s all-time MLS reg. season goal differential finally got back to EVEN for the first time since its inaugural game back in 2005, courtesy of MF Will Johnson’s goal in the 94+’ Saturday at Chivas ...

This year’s +10 total has the club back down to MINUS-1 all-time after 234 games over 8 seasons ... Last year, with 20 min remaining in a Sept. game @NY, RSL was even all-time with a 3-0 lead ... But Lindpere pulled a consolation one back, the team lost 4-1 @DC & 0-3 v CHI to fall back underwater ... The accomplishment is all the more impressive considering RSL was MINUS-57 after a 1-3 loss @DAL on May 24, 2008 ...

In U.S. Open Cup play, RSL’s goal +/- is -6, while it is perfectly even in MLS Cup Playoff action ... The team’s +9 goal difference in CONCACAF play posts the club’s all-time / all-competition ledger at +2 entering Saturday’s match against San Jose ...


LONGEST-TENURED CORE IN MLS HISTORY: The Kreis/Lagerwey “Team is the Star” mantra has long been lauded for its simple, unselfish approach that has redefined the culture of an organization and enabled a small-market club to compete annually with DP-laden payrolls ... The philosophy that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts is perfectly epitomized by the fact that TEN players return this year, with the 2012 MLS season marking the group’s fifth or sixth campaign in Claret & Cobalt ... The list:

Player Acquisition Date RSL GPGK Kyle Reynish Jan., 2007 7GK Nick Rimando Feb. 2007 157DF Chris Wingert June, 2007 136MF Kyle Beckerman July, 2007 136MF Javier Morales August, 2007 109FW Fabian Espindola August, 2007 108DF Tony Beltran Jan., 2008 70DF Nat Borchers Feb., 2008 129DF Jamison Olave March, 2008 114MF Will Johnson July, 2008 100

Back on 3/10 at LA, this group marked 5+ seasons together and set a new MLS record, breaking the current one held by New England, which saw 8 players compete together from the 2003-07 seasons ... That group was: Joe Franchino, Jay Heaps, Shalrie Joseph, Marshall Leonard, Pat Noonan, Steve Ralston, Matt Reis & Taylor Twellman ...

IDENTIFYING NEW BLOOD, THE RSL WAY:The most notable absence from RSL’s locker room is that of MF Andy Williams, whose seven-year tenure as an “RSL Original” came to end with his retirement in December, 2011 ... Williams played 14 years in MLS, bouncing from Columbus, to New England, to New York, to Miami and finally to Chicago in his first 7 seasons, the 1998 Jamaica World Cup veteran coming to RSL in November, 2004 as the club’s top expansion draft pick ... Williams went on to play a club-record 189 games for RSL, with 14 goals, 29 assists and one MLS Cup ring marking his time on the Wasatch Front ...

The RSL time for “Bomma” is not over, however, as Williams immediately accepted a position as the club’s Head Scout, working with Lagerwey, Kreis and the technical staff to identify players of all ages for RSL’s senior, academy and youth teams, including many of the new faces beginning their MLS and/or professional careers now ...

Those players include:

GK Lalo Fernandez (signed as Home Grown)DF Terukazu Tanaka (Discovery - Jan. 2012)DF Leone Cruz (via trade from SEA 1/17/12)DF Chris Estridge (via trade from VAN 4/11/12)MF Jonny Steele (Discovery - Feb. 2012)MF Sebastian Velasquez (MLS SuperDraft 2012)MF Enzo Martinez (MLS SuperDraft 2012)FW Emiliano Bonfigli (MLS Supplemental Draft 2012)

CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SCHEDULE:CONCACAF held its 2012/13 Group Draw back on Wed., May 30, RSL finding out that its 2 group opponents are Costa Rican champion Herediano and Panamanian champion Tauro FC ... Friday, RSL discovered its 2012 Group Schedule:

Day Date Opponent Kickoff/TVTues. July 31 RSL @ Herediano (CRC) 8p MT/FSCTues. Aug. 21 RSL v TAURO FC (PAN) 8p MT/FSCT-Th Aug. 29 bye weekTues. Sept. 18 RSL @ Tauro FC (PAN) 8p MT/FSCT-Th. Sept. 26 bye weekTues. Oct. 23 RSL v HEREDIANO (CRC) 8p MT/FSC

While RSL has no history with either club, familiarity is the name of the game regarding road trips to San Jose, Costa Rica and Panama City, as RSL faced Arabe Unido (Panama) during the group stage and Saprissa (Costa Rica) in the semifinals ...

The CONCACAF Champions League slate necessitates two additional 3-game weeks for RSL in the Fall, with the July 31 road game at Herediano (CRC) slotted between a home game vs VAN and a road trip to Denver against the rival Rapids ... The Aug. 21 home game against Tauro FC (PAN) now occurs between a DAL home game and a road trip to Philadelphia, the longest MLS trip of the season for RSL ...

RSL BACK IN CONCACAF, THX TO LA/SEA: With Los Angeles’ 2011 MLS Western Conference Semifinal win over NY, RSL Nation was disappointed to not be able to host the West Final … However, the Los Angeles victory did benefit RSL by allowing Jason Kreis’ club to secure passage to the 2012/13 CONCACAF Champions League tourney, by virtue of the Galaxy’s “duplicate” spots between the 2011 Supporters’ Shield berth and its trip - and eventual win - in MLS Cup ...

Duplicate berths fall to the next best regular-season finisher, and with Seattle – last year’s #2 overall seed – already owning a 2012/13 spot thanks to its U.S. Open Cup title, RSL is next in line as the overall MLS #3 seed …

This Fall’s CCL tourney will be played under a new format, as all 24 teams go directly into group play, with only the 8 winners who emerge from a 3-team, 4-game group stage advancing to the Championship round ... LA, SEA and RSL will be joined by Houston, which qualified as a 2011 MLS Cup participant ...

Real Salt Lake’s eye towards the future was bolstered in February with the signing of promising goalkeeper Lalo Fernandez as the club’s third-ever Homegrown Player. The addition of Fernandez marks the second dip into the Homegrown Player well by Real Salt Lake in less than a year, following on the heels of fellow RSL-Arizona Academy product Nico Muñiz (Sept. 2011) and Donny Toia (May 2011).

The 19-year-old Fernandez has kept busy over the last year-and-a-half, helping the RSL-Arizona Under-18 squad begin its first season in U.S. Soccer Development Academy in October 2010 and going 5-3-3 (1.00 GAA, 4 shutouts) in 11 appearances through the spring of 2011. After initially agreeing to play collegiately at the University of Wisconsin, Fernandez tacked course and tested the international waters, first spending a training stint with Mexican first division side Atlas – based in his birthplace of Guadalajara – before signing with Uruguayan power C.A. Peñarol last August.

The 6-foot-3, 165-pound Fernandez has been involved in the Youth National Team set-ups of both the United States and Mexico, playing for the Mexican Under-17s and training with the U.S. Under-20s last November. The El Paso, Texas, native’s goalkeeping skills run in the family, as his father, enjoyed a career as a professional netminder in Mexico.

Real Salt Lake’s search for a naturally left-footed fit on its back line may very well have come to an end with its selection of SMU product Diogo de Almeida back in January. Other outside back options were on the board towards the start of the second round, RSL was enamored with the athletic de Almeida’s size and speed, not to mention his technical ability, which was no surprise after his progression from forward to midfielder to defender during his first three years with the Mustangs. While RSL will not expect the 23-year-old to fill in minutes right away, the Brazilian’s progress throughout the year will prove vital to the planned wing-back rotation system that could prove crucial to the Utah side’s late-season success.

After playing the second-most minutes of his career in 2011, Tony Beltran again showed why he belongs in the discussion with the best outside backs in Major League Soccer. For the second time in his career the 24-year-old made more than 20 starts and helped solidify a back line that was depleted by injuries all season long – until he unfortunately suffered one of his own, limiting his minutes in the final two months of the season.

While his staunch 1-v-1 defending continued to be rock solid, the cerebral and supremely fit Beltran has also provided more consistency when jumping into the attack, his flying runs up either flank ending with dangerous service into the area more often than during his previous two seasons of play. It can’t be long until Beltran sheds the status of one of the most underrated outside defenders in Major League Soccer, but, until then, the RSL braintrust will be more than happy to unleash the mature-beyond-his-years winger upon opponents that may underestimate the UCLA product’s considerable talent and tenacity.

It seemed to take a couple of years for MLS fans and pundits to fully appreciate the depth of talent that RSL center back Jamison Olave possessed. However, now that he’s a known commodity, the RSL center back can’t seem to stop the plaudits coming his way, the ultra-athletic center back garnering spots on the MLS Best XI and MLS All-Star teams for a second consecutive season in 2011. He began the year by not only displaying his usual defensive prowess, but also securing himself an even bigger spot in RSL lore courtesy of some offense, as it was his goal at Deportivo Saprissa that would swing the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal series the Utah side’s way.

While RSL fans loved seeing “The Verb” represent the Claret-and-Cobalt against Manchester United in the All-Star Game once again, they were also left holding their collective breath after a sliding tackle sidelined him with an MCL sprain in his left knee. Success, it appeared, might come at a price. However, Olave would return after missing only a month, using his unique blend of size and closing speed – in addition to a growing sense of comfort with the ball at his feet – to keep opposing forwards on lockdown. Olave would again suffer from injury, this time a quadriceps strain, during the 2011 postseason, but the 2012 preseason sees the Colombian fit as a fiddle and ready to lead the RSL backline to more impressive and historic numbers – more specifically the ones in the “W” and “SO” columns. And, speaking of numbers, the 30-year-old Olave will hit a nice round one the next time he sees the field, as his next appearance on the fiels will mark his 100th in MLS regular season play.

Many players start to think about the next stage of their careers after a dozen seasons in the pros, the portion involving final contracts, farewell tours and the like. However, most players aren’t like Kyle Beckerman, whose 12th season only propelled him towards bigger heights both with his club and for his country, as 2011 saw the RSL captain go from a perennial MLS All-Star and part-time U.S. Men’s National Team performer to a legitimate league MVP candidate and First XI stalwart for Jurgen Klinsmann’s USA squad. Beckerman’s ability to step up his game in the absence of main playmaker Javier Morales showed both on and off the stat sheet, his increased leadership role on the field during an adversity-filled 2011 proving just as crucial as his career-best nine assists (including six game-winning helpers) across regular season play.

The 29-year-old Beckerman is hitting his peak as he enters 2012, a year in which he’ll likely leap into the league’s all-time top 20 in games played and started while also playing an integral role for the US Men’s National Team as it begins its qualifying journey for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals in Brazil. While an offseason adductor strain might have slowed RSL’s heart-and-soul down temporarily, Beckerman should be ready to set the tone for the Claret-and-Cobalt right out of the gates in what he hopes is a lucky 13th season in MLS.

Seemingly overshadowed by other forwards every since he joined Real Salt Lake five years ago, the attention turned Fabian Espíndola’s way in 2011 seemed to increase. Then again, everything involving Espíndola seemed to be ratcheted up a notch last season – his focus, an already-high energy-level and even his notoriety across the league all received noticeable bumps. However, the most important thing the fiery Argentine increased last year was his production, as Espíndola knocked home a career-best 10 goals in league play and added a goal and two assists during RSL’s CONCACAF Champions League run that allowed to Utahns to continue their historic path to the tourney’s finals.

It’s easy to forget that Espíndola was a part of the massive rebuilding process that Jason Kreis began midway through 2007; and yet, at the same time, it seems hard to think about RSL without the passion and grit of the 26-year-old forward. Re-signing Espíndola was priority #1 for Real Salt Lake this past offseason, and when two sides were able to agree to a four-year pact you could almost hear an audible sigh of relief from Claret-and-Cobalt fans near and far. With his regular up-top running mate, Álvaro Saborío, a question mark for the start of the campaign, the scoring burden will likely fall to Espíndola – then again, that’s something the confident striker will likely pick up as well.

Ever since he crashed the Colorado Rapids roster as an undrafted camp invitee back in 2003, Nat Borchers has been tough to take off the roster sheet … make that nearly impossible to take off. While missing four of 34 regular season games like Borchers did in 2011 wouldn’t be noteworthy for most players, for the “Ironman of MLS” it was more than a bit out of the ordinary. And even with that said, Borchers’ 30 starts last season allowed him to become the only player across Major League Soccer with at least 29 starts in each of the last four years. Death … Taxes … Borchers, indeed.

The big story for Real Salt Lake as it approaches its season opener in Los Angeles might just be if the three-time RSL Defender of the Year winner will be in Jason Kreis’ First XI. The right quadriceps strain the 30-year-old backline staple suffered in last October’s postseason opener against Seattle has forced a cautious approach during this year’s preseason camp, but Borchers vows to be ready to go for rematch of the Western Conference Championship … a game the ever-steady center back would have certainly been a difference-maker in had he been able to give it a go.

Will Johnson was a busy guy in 2011, but when you’re depended upon to be a stalwart for both your club and country, well, that just goes with the territory. But with Johnson possessing one of – if not the best – motors in all of Major League Soccer, the industrious 25-year-old not only has the stamina to handle the added workload, but the pride and character to relish it. He also has the history to prove he can handle the added miles as well, playing at least 2,000 minutes and in at least 25 regular season contests for the Claret-and-Cobalt in each of his first three full seasons … and that’s not counting the additional wear-and-tear (and pressure) endured during Cup competitions.

With another round of World Cup qualifying in store for his Canadian National Team and another run in the CONCACAF Champions League on the docket for Real Salt Lake, it’s going to be another chock full calendar in 2012 for Johnson, who will again be depended upon to man the left side of RSL’s midfield diamond. While a procedure to correct a sports hernia issue might slow Johnson down for the first few weeks of the season, the RSL faithful can rest assured his odometer will start spinning furiously sooner rather than later.

Perhaps no player in Major League Soccer was poised to have a better 2011 than Javier Morales. From the get-go, the Argentine midfield maestro was pulling the strings for a Real Salt Lake side on the cusp of international glory, his infectious attitude, quiet leadership and abundant skill helping a pioneering club earn plaudits from every corner of America’s soccer landscape. So while RSL’s disappointment at the end of its CONCACAF Champions League run in late April was a tough blow for the squad, it’s quite telling that the result’s effect on the team’s season paled in comparison to the loss of Morales to an ankle injury just 10 days after the stinging defeat.

It is also telling that, during a stretch of two weeks when clumsy challenges like the one Morales suffered from felled some of MLS’ other brightest attacking talents, RSL’s playmaker vowed to come back before season’s end. Anyone who saw the incident must have thought Morales’ thoughts were wishful thinking at best, but they also weren’t witness to the hard work he put in day after day. While the air was sucked out of the building that day, Morales knew it wasn’t sucked out of the season, and he wanted to make sure he could help the squad finish the challenge it had laid down at the start of the year – add hardware to the trophy case.

While that goal wouldn’t come to fruition, the comeback of Morales inspired not only his teammates, but the RSL faithful as well, who could not get enough updates on the status of “Javi” and when – not if – he would return to the field. While Morales was never back to 100% during the final six weeks of the season, he showed plenty enough to make it clear that he was closer than anyone, save himself, might have thought. But, perhaps more than anything, his comeback allowed everyone the opportunity to remember a different image of #11 at Rio Tinto Stadium in 2011 – the thunderous standing ovation he received upon entering the Sept. 28 match against Chicago in front of the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. 20,762 fans, all there to pay tribute to the heart-and-soul of RSL, to see the maestro pick up his baton once again.

The start of the 2012 campaign sees Morales continuing to overcome injury, an offseason procedure to clean out bone spurs in his left foot and a right quad strain suffered during the preseason limiting him during the squad’s preparations for the upcoming season. But if 2011 proved anything, it’s that Morales will be able to overcome any challenge thrown at him … and likely sooner than anyone could imagine.

When it came to taking advantage of an opportunity in 2011, nobody did it better than midfielder Yordany Alvarez, who parlayed his USL PRO League MVP performance for Orlando City S.C. into a quasi-starting gig last September shortly after joining Real Salt Lake on loan at the roster freeze deadline. The one-time Cuban international provided quality cover for Kyle Beckerman, whose suspensions and U.S. MNT call-ups across the last quarter of the season forced Alvarez onto the field for five contests.

The 26-year-old performed well enough during the impromptu “trial by fire” that RSL sought to secure his services on a more permanent basis, and the Utah side did just that in February by coming to buyout terms with Orlando and locking up the holding midfielder via a new three-year deal. With Beckerman again slated to pull double-duty for club and country during much of 2012, fans can expect to see Alvarez back in the Starting XI mix on many more occasions.

Five years ago, Real Salt Lake brought a young Argentinean striker into its side by the name of Fabian Espíndola … and now the Utah side is hoping it has unearthed a similar talent in his countryman, Emiliano Bonfigli. The lanky striker proved worth taking a flyer on in the MLS Supplemental Draft, the 23-year-old showing more than enough finishing prowess during RSL’s opening preseason camp to earn a spot on the team’s forward depth chart. With a congested schedule ahead, expect Bonfigli to be firmly in the mix for the “spot starter” role up top alongside fellow “young guns” Paulo Jr. and Cody Arnoux.

As a forward there’s always pressure to perform, and in 2011 the pressure seemed to be both a blessing and a curse for Álvaro Saborío, who began the year with a new contract that heaped on the added weight of becoming Real Salt Lake’s first-ever “Designated Player” (though the title was more a technicality thanks to the transfer fees involved in obtaining his full rights). The roller-coaster season saw Saborío bag goals in bunches and in some critical moments, but also included some droughts and mountains of adversity on the national team front for his native Costa Rica.

A part of that ebb-and-flow of output was due to injury, as Saborío rushed back from offseason knee surgery quickly in order to help keep his hot hand in the CONCACAF Champions League going from the prior fall. While he indeed helped carry the squad to the tournament’s finals, his production and availability would suffer in the months to follow, only to ratchet back up during a torrid stretch in mid-summer. When the dust settled, “Sabo” had collected 16 goals across 32 games in all competitions, keeping pace with the 18 tallies in 36 contests the season prior. The wear-and-tear resulted in another surgery on his right knee immediately after the season, making his return to the line-up at the start of 2012 a question mark. However, the “Tico Terror” won’t be sidelined for long, as he has progressed strongly during the club’s preseason camps and is expected to be on the field and creating havoc for the opposition by April at the very latest.

Real Salt Lake broke new ground last fall when it agreed to terms with Nico Muñiz, making the midfielder the first RSL-Arizona Academy member to jump straight to the “big club” from Casa Grande. While technically unable to perform for the MLS outfit until the new year, the now 19-year-old Muniz joined the first team in Utah upon the announcement in September, giving him a leg up on preparations for his first professional campaign with what amounted to a seven week “sneak peek.” Muñiz started three of his six appearances (346 min.) as a regular call-up for the RSL Reserves in 2011, and the Albuquerque native should expect to see his development continue largely through opportunities in MLS Reserve League fixtures during the 2012 campaign.

Nick Rimando would have been hard-pressed to duplicate the record-setting 2010 campaign he presided over between the posts for Real Salt Lake, but his 2011 season was not all that far behind. Once again finishing at or near the top of Major League Soccer in goals against average, shutouts and wins, Rimando’s 12th MLS season gave credence to the theory that the shelf life of the American goalkeeper is almost limitless … a good sign now that the 32-year-old Rimando is the elder statesman of the Claret-and-Cobalt after the offseason retirement of Andy Williams. That being said, it takes more than age to climb towards the top of MLS’ record books, which is exactly what Rimando has done by ranking second in all-time shutouts (87) and third in wins (121), games played in goal (288), starts in goal (also 288) and minutes in goal (26,073).

Much like teammate Kyle Beckerman, Rimando’s international career has also picked up steam once again, as the Southern California native has been a regular call-up under the new regime of Jurgen Klinsmann since his appointment as USMNT’s sideline boss last summer. If Rimando can continue to produce sparkling performances like the first half he turned in against Panama in January, it will be a busy year of shuffling between club and country for the RSL fanbase’s favorite “homeboy.”

The outside back position in RSL’s 4-4-2 system is perhaps one of the most challenging spots in Major League Soccer – to call them “defenders” is simply not doing them justice. The role requires players to have the physicality to defend one-on-one, the speed and stamina to make run after run up and down the flank to provide width in attack and the technical acumen to make things happen with the ball, be it by providing crosses into the area or quick combinations with the midfield. You have to be smart, disciplined and in ridiculously good shape … in other words, you almost have to be Chris Wingert.

The 29-year-old Wingert will enter the 2012 season as RSL’s longest-tenured field player, beating out his former ex-Colorado teammate Kyle Beckerman for the honor by three days courtesy of their back-to-back trades in mid-July 2007. That longevity has not only shot him up the RSL all-time rankings in numerous categories, but it’s also allowed him to master the abilities necessary to thrive on the island that can sometimes be the outside back position in Jason Kreis’ preferred line-up. To protect against the wear-and-tear that saw nagging injuries effect the three-man rotation of Wingert, Tony Beltran and the departed Robbie Russell last season, the Claret-and-Cobalt will hope Wingert can mentor whichever two players emerge in the back-up battle out wide during preseason to increase the rotation to four by midseason. If there’s anyone up for the task of mentoring it would be Wingert, a locker room leader who also has the NSCAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor from his Senior season at St. John’s in his back pocket.

Some things are just meant to be, and that seemed to be the general consensus when highly-touted midfielder Enzo Martinez fell right into the lap of Real Salt Lake late in the first round of January’s MLS SuperDraft in Kansas City. Why the key cog for North Carolina’s College Cup-winning side slid to the 17th overall pick will never be known, but what is for certain is that the motivated midfielder’s savvy on the ball, mature decision-making and industrious workrate will make the native Uruguayan a perfect fit in the diamond midfield RSL has perfected under Jason Kreis. While the RSL Technical Staff gushed about the Generation adidas product’s production and ability, it was even more impressed with his maturity off the field, forcing many of the pundits who questioned where the 21-year-old might fit on the field for many teams to also admit that the Claret-and-Cobalt might just have come away with the steal of draft day.

During his third season in Claret-and-Cobalt in 2011, Ned Grabavoy continued to find more minutes in the platoon system with Andy Williams on the right side of Real Salt Lake’s diamond midfield, but, due to injuries and national team call-ups, the veteran also found himself at other spots in the diamond through necessity. Despite suffering from a nagging hamstring injury of his own late in the campaign, the gritty Grabavoy was able to register the second most appearances, starts and minutes of his eight seasons in Major League Soccer.

With Williams retiring during the offseason, the versatile Grabavoy will be depended upon even more by Head Coach Jason Kreis to set the tone on the field and in the locker room as one of the team’s core members. The good news for Kreis and fans of RSL is that, thanks to a new offseason contract, the 28-year-old midfielder will put his masterful on-the-ball ability, vision and tenacity on display at Rio Tinto Stadium for at least the next three seasons.

Jonny Steele has squeezed a career’s worth of stops into his first eight professional seasons, but the preseason pact he signed with Real Salt Lake might just allow the 26-year-old midfielder to stop and settle down for awhile … besides, there’s precedence for this sort of thing with the Utah side (see Williams, Andy). After years of hopping between second divisions clubs and indoor teams, the native of Northern Ireland has finally earned the opportunity to display his talents on the North American continent’s top stage, eight years after his stateside journey began with a trial for FC Dallas. While Steele’s presence will ratchet up the amount of bite in the RSL midfield, thinking of him as simply a “hardman” would be a mistake, as the former Wolverhampton performer didn’t win the 2008 USL-1 MVP award for the Puerto Rico Islanders on hard tackles alone.

Real Salt Lake’s philosophy for the development of Luis Gil had always been “slow and steady,” but then Javier Morales’ devastating ankle injury and a slew of national team call-ups hit in the spring, and the acceleration of Gil’s learning curve soon followed. RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis originally took a committee approach to replacing Morales as the summer progressed, but the rotation would eventually include a heavy dose of the then-17-year-old Gil, who indeed proved capable of rising to the challenge while also doing plenty of “on-the-job” training. While inconsistent, as most teenagers growing up in a professional league tend to be, Gil more often than not showed glimpses as to why he was coveted by some of the world’s top sides prior to joining the Claret-and-Cobalt back in 2010.

The physicality of the opposition might not be as much of a problem in 2012, as Gil entered RSL’s preseason camp noticeably bigger and more confident, both on the ball and within the squad. With regular starters Morales and Will Johnson both dealing with injuries heading into the season, Gil may very well find himself a member of the starting XI when March rolls around

As explosive as the fall 2010 debut of Paulo Jr. onto the Real Salt Lake scene was, it appeared that the Brazilian’s 2011 was equally as disappointing … but one look at the limited sample size of stats might just prove otherwise. While the swashbuckling striker missed exactly half of the season due to lingering hamstring and hip flexor injuries over the summer, when he was on the field he was able to produce, notching a pair of goals and five assists in what amounted to just under 600 minutes across MLS and CONCACAF play.

The diminutive forward’s season got off to a sparkling start, as he recorded a goal, an assist or both during his first four overall appearances. However, the injury bug would strike soon afterwards, derailing a promising start and limiting him to substitute and spot-start duty across the last three months of the season. Despite the health concerns, Real Salt Lake recognized Paulo Jr.’s potential this past offseason and acquired the 23-year-old’s player rights from the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers in February. The Utah side hopes a new three-year contract will provide the stability and confidence the still-developing striker needs in order to perform, which would result in a dangerous complement to first-choice forwards Fabian Espíndola and Álvaro Saborío.

With the retirement of Andy Williams this past offseason, goalkeeper Kyle Reynish becomes the recipient of the “current longest tenured RSL player” title, as the netminder drafted on Jan. 18, 2007 will begin his sixth full season with the squad in 2012. As the back-up to the 2nd-longest tenured player, Nick Rimando, the UC-Santa Barbara native hasn’t had many occasions to show his stuff in recent seasons, but when he was able to in 2011 he would deliver, notching two shutout wins in his three first-team appearances. The 27-year-old ‘keeper will not only continue to be perhaps the league’s most underrated understudy, but will also be looked at to help mentor young Lalo Fernandez, RSL’s latest Homegrown addition to the roster.

The 2012 season can almost be considered a fresh start for forward Cody Arnoux, who was injured upon joining Real Salt Lake last February and couldn’t return to the field from injuries until the season was mostly through. However, with a year of seasoning in RSL’s system under his belt, a completely clean bill of health and plenty of work ethic in tow, the former Wake Forest standout will be ready to make up for lost time and contribute major minutes off the bench during the Claret-and-Cobalt’s busy campaign.

If you were not aware of Sebastian Velasquez when Real Salt Lake selected him towards the end of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, well, you weren’t alone … the plucky playmaker was the first Junior College player to be selected on draft day since Kansas City took another member of the RSL family, Yura Movsisyan, six years earlier. The Wasatch Front is a long way from Spartanburg Methodist College in South Carolina, but when word from collegiate scouting contacts about the “diamond-in-the-Upstate” came across RSL’s attention, due diligence by assistant coach Miles Joseph paid off for the now-21-year-old midfielder via an invite to the club’s December combine in Arizona. Velasquez impressed enough there to earn the nod to the next level, where he will be allowed plenty of time to learn how pull the strings on the top of RSL’s midfield diamond behind Javier Morales and Luis Gil.

What a difference a year made for defender Chris Schuler. After showing a glimpse of promise that was cut short due to injury in 2010, the Chicagoland native returned to the field with a vengeance in 2011, playing in 27 matches across all competitions as injuries and suspensions wrecked havoc at times on the RSL backline. Five months after breaking his foot just the day after RSL clinched a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League knockout phase, it was perhaps fate that Schuler would be called upon to serve in place of the suspended Nat Borchers right off the bat against Columbus in the CCL Quarterfinals. The 24-year-old would pass that test with flying colors, and, as the RSL Technical Staff began to grow more and more comfortable with him, Schuler would also begin to draw assignments at outside back as situations dictated.

While some may think it unfortunate to sit behind one of the best center back tandems in league history on the depth chart, it is clear during the 2012 preseason that Schuler has been soaking up knowledge from Borchers and Jamison Olave over the course of his first two pro seasons. Learning the tricks of the trade from those pillars both technically and leadership-wise will certainly pay off with even better performances when called upon down the road, which may occur just as much this season with another congested schedule on the docket for the Claret-and-Cobalt.

The path to the ranks of Major League Soccer for Leone Cruz was not a common one, but, in the end, the talented center back appears to have found a willing dance partner in Real Salt Lake the second time around. After failing to stick around with Seattle Sounders FC after being drafted by the Cascadia outfit in 2011, Cruz chose to finish up his studies at Southern Methodist University and stay soccer-sharp by playing in matches in the newly-resurrected Reserve League. Those stints included a pair of games in Claret-and-Cobalt last summer, when RSL reaffirmed its pre-draft assessments of Cruz’s skills and kept the Texas native on its radar through January, when it swung a deal with Seattle during the Supplemental Draft to bring the defender on board. After winning a spot on the roster during preseason, Cruz will be expected to form a solid bond with fellow reservist Chris Schuler – with the added benefit of being able to learn from two of the league’s best “middle men” in Jamison Olave and Nat Borchers.

As proof the RSL Technical Staff is committed to leaving no stone unturned in its search for talent, enter Terukazu Tanaka, an outside back prospect GM Garth Lagerwey spotted during a combine in Tokyo shortly after the end of the 2011 season. The 26-year-old right-sided defender brings five years of professional experience in the Japanese first and second divisions with him across the Pacific, a pedigree he hopes will earn him not only a spot on the RSL roster, but a regular slot in the outside back rotation alongside returning vets Chris Wingert and Tony Beltran.

Real Salt Lake Head Coach Jason Kreis traded in his record-setting boots and captain’s armband on May 3, 2007 to become the organization’s second head coach, overhauling a previously moribund locker room to become just two seasons later the youngest Cup-winning coach in MLS history, guiding RSL to the title in 2009. Under his watch, RSL has also advanced to three of the last four Conference Finals, become the first American side to win a CONCACAF Champions League group and the first U.S. team to advance to the CCL Finals. With back-to-back 15-win MLS seasons in 2010 and 2011, Kreis’ teams have earned points in two out of every three matches they play, as the intense, demanding leader now owns an all-time 83-69-53 mark as a head coach, breaking down as follows: MLS regular-season (67-53-45), CONCACAF Champions League (6-3-3), MLS Cup Playoff (4-4-4), Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (3-6-0) and international friendlies (3-2-1).

At the time of his hire, Mr. Kreis became the youngest active head coach in MLS at 34 years and 127 days of age. Kreis works closely with former Blue Devil and Dallas Burn teammate and current RSL General Manager Garth Lagerwey regarding player acquisitions, scouting, the MLS Draft and all player personnel-related matters. The Kreis-Lagerwey partnership has resulted in the implementation of a culture where players, staff and fans work as one for the RSL shield, epitomizing a “Team is the Star” attitude. Kreis, Lagerwey and the team’s coaching staff – Jeff Cassar, Miles Joseph and C.J. Brown – compose the lone technical staff among MLS’ 18 teams comprised entirely of ex-MLS players. This distinction means that the RSL braintrust now boasts cumulative MLS experience of 74,811 total minutes, covering 923 games and including 128 goals and 22 shutouts (the equivalent of nearly 30 complete seasons of service). The RSL staff has the unparalleled ability to tap into personal experience as it guides, assists and develops RSL players.

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Real Salt Lake, June 23, 2012, 6:00 p.m. PT

Last Game Earthquakes 2, Colorado Rapids 1; June 20, 2012; Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Commerce City, CO. The Quakes used an own goal and a stoppage-time penalty kick to seal another thrilling late game come from behind win. The Quakes defeated hosts Colorado Rapids 2-1 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Quakes used league leading goal scorer Chris Wondolowski’s penalty in the 92nd minute to net their fourth stoppage time victory and fifth road win of the season. The goal coming minutes after forward substitute Alan Gordon forced a Hunter Freeman own goal in the 83rd minute to tie the game. Gordon drew the game winning penalty when he dribbled past Rapids goalkeeper Matt Pickens’ dive. The keeper caught Gordon on the right foot causing the experienced forward to stumble to the ground. Wondolowski made no mistake with the ensuing spot kick burying the ball in the upper left of the goal. The Rapids led most of the game off an 18th minute header from Brian Mullan. Last Game vs. Real Salt Lake Real Salt Lake, Los Angeles Galaxy; June 23, 2012; Rio Tinto Stadium, Sandy, UT. The San Jose Earthquakes scored two goals in second half stoppage time to top Real Salt Lake, 3-1 and move into first place in the Western Conference at Buck Shaw Stadium. Simon Dawkins headed in the winner in the 92nd minute and Chris Wondolowski continued his hot streak with a goal one minute later to cap the victory. With the win, which marks No. 100 for San Jose head coach Frank Yallop as an MLS head coach, the Earthquakes (5-1-1, 16 pts.) move ahead of Real Salt Lake (5-3-0, 15 pts.) and into first-place in the West. Just as it was looking as though RSL would hang onto a point in the waning minutes playing two men down following a pair of red-card ejections, Dawkins latched onto a Steven Beitashour cross from the right side in and headed a shot into the far corner for a 2-1 edge. Seconds later, a combination between Tressor Moreno and Khari Stephenson found Chris Wondolowski unmarked on the back post, and the Quakes star clinched the full three points with a header. He now has a league-leading eight goals on the season and he has scored 16 goals in the Quakes past 16 games. Real Salt Lake finished the game with only nine men after red cards to Fabian Espindola and Jamison Olave.
