While I’d love to sit here and opine over RSL’s win over Portland Timbers, we’ve got something bigger and more exciting in front of us: Seattle Sounders.
We’re on the road, and no team in MLS is better on the road than at home — there’s some variation, certainly, but we’re pretty much right in line with the rest of the league, outside that team.
Let’s turn our focus now to Seattle. I think there are a few interesting things to discuss ahead of this.
One of the biggest mysteries circling around Real Salt Lake right now is why Marcelo Silva occasionally — in big games, mostly — is handed a start ahead of Justen Glad, who is generally the preferred starting center back alongside Nedum Onuoha.
