The Knee Jerk: RSL vs Portland

Related Topics: Real Salt Lake, Providence Park

3-2 is my favorite scoreline. A bunch of goals, and a close match, what’s not to love?

Losing. Again. That’s what’s not to love.

I’m trying really hard here to keep a nice positive attitude. To pick out the good elements. This road trip—that one point out of nine—is making positivity difficult.

But there were nice things. Just not ninety minutes of nice things.

There’s our big problem right now. We need ninety full minutes of disciplined play. None of this starting out slow, then building into the game. No dropping off and getting an injection of “dammit, we need to try harder if we’re going to win.
