Because the universe is an endless loop, Real Salt Lake has been drawn into exactly the sort of group you’d expect in the very bizarre, very MLS tournament, MLS is Back.
Up first, drawn by presenter Charlie Davies by instruction from RSL coach Freddy Juarez, is Sporting Kansas City. Second: Colorado Rapids. Third: Minnesota United. That one’s less interesting, of course, but still. Oh boy.
The tournament starts next month, and all the matches will apparently be broadcast by MLS partners, so expect to see some fireworks in July.
