"Everyone started talking about the game," Morales told The Salt Lake Tribune this week. "Then it's where I started to think about it."
Morales arrives in Utah this week for the first time ever as a visitor. He'll make the awkward walk into Rio Tinto, but this time from the FC Dallass team bus, rather than his longtime spot in the RSL player's lot. And he won't make the long walk down the tunnel to the locker room he occupied for a decade. He'll instead make a much earlier turn into a locker room he's never used.
"This has been his home, I think it's still his home," RSL forward Yura Movsisyan said.
