So.
I think I might have crossed over into an alternate reality — one where Real Salt Lake has cracked the no-forward code (you can read more from me on that on Tuesday.)
One where Damir Kreilach and Albert Rusnak are competing in the tightest Golden Boot race we’ve had in ages.
One where it doesn’t matter if we have a number nine. What is nine but a number, anyway?
So here we are. I’ve crossed over. I haven’t noticed anyone with a suspicious goatee, but I’ll be on the lookout.
