The Open Cup is such an enthralling competition in US Soccer, however, it comes at a bad time for Real Salt Lake . RSL will have played five games in fifteen days by the end of this Saturday. Taking on a Sporting Kansas City, who are in fantastic form, towards the end of this stretch of games is not ideal.
Part of the beautify of the Open Cup is seeing a variety of players that often don’t take the field for the first team. This is a chance for some young up and comers to show they can contribute.
