As the calendar advances, the magnitude of games on the MLS schedule increases exponentially.
With that in mind, Real Salt Lake prepares for the regular season home finale on Sunday against Sporting Kansas City as both teams vie for playoff positions in the final two weekends of the 2016 regular season schedule. And with a road contest against Seattle Sounders FC, who are also jockeying for postseason positioning, on Decision Day on October 23, the pressure is rising for RSL.
“It’s a huge game. Not only for playoff implications, but for confidence and rounding out our performances and trying to peak at the right time,” RSL General Manager Craig Waibel said on ESPN 700’s O’Connell and Swinney Show on Wednesday.
