Maybe you’ve watched a lot of games with the United States National Team with Nick Rimando riding the bench. He is often there because he is helping train for potential penalties. He is also there because he is quite good. He proved his quality again against the Seattle Sounders. In the 2-nil loss the best opportunities for goals by the Rave Green were stopped by the amazing Rimando.
It is not that Seattle deserved to win. The best case scenario probably would have been a 2-2 draw. Real Salt Lake utilized their counter to great impact.
