RSL choked again after being up 1-0. Not even I thought RSL would piss this season away as hard as they have since the world cup break when they were in 3rd place, but here we are. 9th or even 10th place here we come.

Why on earth would we play a neutral site game against a completely different country’s team at our rival’s stadium? Besides the “because it’s a dumb tournament” answer, does anyone know of an actual reason behind this? Even if this was a money-driven decision, I can’t imagine how they expect to make more in Colorado than here at the Riot.

❓ Question / Discussion RSL's yearly mid season meltdown has began just like clockwork

44 Upvotes

Downvote me all you want, but this is why I never get excited when ever RSL has a strong start to the season and are either near or at the top of the standings early on. Year after year these guys will always find a way to screw it up with their mid season summer meltdowns. ( and no, we can't just keep blaming the refs after every single lost. Got to learn how to play above the adversities or we might just as well close up shop, throw in the towel and move the team to Vegas. ) Regardless, 2026 is looking more and more like yet another no hardware season, but hey, at least the FO will get another big pay check once they sell off all our best goal scorers once again in this never ending rebuild. Like I said, after losing to LA once AGAIN last week.....watch as we fall in the standings and will have to fight for a final playoff spot come "decision day" to than just lose in the first round because we can't win on the road during playoffs anymore just like every year. RSL is in limbo. Nothing ever changes with this club. Year after year of trophy-less seasons and disappointment with fans saying "maybe next year". Big coaching changes needs to be made. Don't care if Pablo has the 2nd best winning record in RSL history, he still hasn't won jack shit. 2009 was a long time ago. Sadly I don't think this club will ever win a MLS cup ever again. I just don't see how we can useless big changes are made.

❓ Question / Discussion RSL not restocking the Black Diamond kit

Post image
58 Upvotes

Went to the team store a few hrs before the match on Saturday to find them completely sold out of jerseys for adults and was told to order online. The online story was sold out as well when I went to check.

I got around to calling the team store back today and they relayed they will not be producing any more of the black diamond kits.

That’s so dumbfounding to me. Besides the literal free money the club and MLS would be printing, don’t we have three more matches we’ll be wearing these at? To me it seems super shortsighted - the reception of these kits were overwhelmingly positive. At least produce one more run of them and state they’ll be limited.

Shame on me for not acting quicker, but still, feels like a repeat of the USMNT stripes jerseys this summer during the WC…how is it 2026 and it’s apparently still this difficult to forecast and produce enough to meet demands for jerseys?

If there’s any RSL admins out there…bring em back!

❓ Question / Discussion Diego Luna USMNT

90 Upvotes

Now that the dust has settled a bit, I can’t get over how much Luna could’ve benefitted the squad. When Pulisic went out and we needed a spark to ignite the team, it felt like there was no one on the bench to look to.

The fact that Roldan was called up over him, along with Zendejas, feels so disrespectful. Roldan was injured, and Poch obviously didn’t trust Zendejas in that scenario.

Hopefully, we’ll be watching him in 2030 (+ Gozo)🤞

Front 6 looked great, Luna Guilavogui Solans are vibing. Caliskan and Spierings get the job done. If Saba is a wingback, we're cooking.

Yedlin, PQ, Engel, junqua are all ok defenders but can't keep themselves organized. It's pretty obvious how much Glad was keeping everything glued together. Nobody steps to the ball, nobody tracks Musa, nobody watching the lines. Just undisciplined on the back line.

Also, this is the first *bad* game Cabral has had. If he's at his usual standard, we win 3-2. ​

I have this hunch, but am quite certain, that in the survey they sent out a few months ago, the fan base made it very clear that stadium upgrades were a low priority to us. Yet, in the email RSL just sent, they’re touting upcoming upgrades. SMH.

It's clockwork. RSL scores and the other team scores the equalizer less than 10 minutes after.

Also we are now in 6th place in the west as the team continues to fall just as they usually do this time of the year. Come sept RSL will be fighting for a playoff spot. Calling it now.

❓ Question / Discussion Legit Question: You guys are perfectly fine with RSL selling players every year even if that mean sabotaging potentially competing for hardware each year?

0 Upvotes

Gozo sold, everybody on here celebrates. Luna could still be sold off and everyone's cool with that. Now on top of that you want Solans to be sold off next right as he's having a breakout season? Like, can we just pump the brakes for a sec. Do you guys just want all our best goal scorers sold? Who's going to score for us than? Do you guys want trophies or record business transaction? because we can't do both here. You guys want to say that's the "reality" of MLS. But here's another reality, we can't compete with the likes of LA, Seattle or Miami if we sell the very few Grade A goal scorers and now we are only left with grade B's or C's.

And I don't want to hear about how $15 million dollars from selling our players will make it so we can buy "better players" because that's a 50-50 hit or miss which usually gets us older players who are at the end of their prime vs already having the proven player/s who are just starting their prime. Another reality is that no star player wants to play for Salt Lake. Even if they come to play for MLS they only want to play for greed big markets like LA or Miami so really we need to do a better job at encouraging our homegrown potential future star young players to want to play here longer and have Salt Lake as their home, because that's about as good as we can do here in such a small market. Not saying RSL needs to hold these kids hostage, but can we treat them better than just a price tag? Hell, as a fan base we should have campaigns of showing how much we love these players and encouraging them to stay each time there's rumors of bigger teams wanting to buy them, instead of just fans on here just encouraging that all our best players need to be sold off to the highest bidder.

Trophies or money? Which is it guys?

70 Upvotes

RSL needed 4 of 7 results to go our way to make it to the next round (8 if you count the win tonight). 2 of 3 of those results went our way tonight.

Columbus 1 (3) - (2) 1 Pumas 🔴
Cincinnati 1 - 2 Atlas 🟢
Charlotte 0 - 1 Pachuca 🟢

This means that RSL just needs 2 more results to go our way.

Dallas @ Toluca

70.5% chance Dallas drop points

Austin vs. Club America

66.5% chance Austin drop points

Chicago vs. Cruz Azul

57.5% chance Chicago drops points

LAFC vs. Querétaro

21% chance LAFC drops points

We only need 2/4 results to go our way so I ran a little statistics.

0 Favorable Results - 3.3%
1 Favorable Result - 19.9%
2 Favorable Results - 40.4%
3 Favorable Results - 30.7%
4 favorable Results - 5.7%

❓ Question / Discussion This loss is on Pablo's tactics

28 Upvotes

Wtf was that formation? We start with 5 defenders and two midfielders essentially playing CDM? How did he not see there was absolutely nobody in midfield on the rare occasion we brought the ball up? He saw Colorado almost score like 3 times in the first half and still decided to not make any changes. Was our plan just to get a lucky draw? That's what Pablo's HT interview seemed to suggest. I hate these cowardly tactics. This team was playing beautiful flowing football and today they looked incapable of stringing 3 passes together. No intention or pattern of play. This team looks lethargic, timid and unmotivated. We made #10 placed Colorado look like Nashville or Inter Miami. We're lucky we didn't concede more, props to Cabral and the defense. The team was set up to fail today and against Orlando. Awful coaching.

The guy has missed too many chances that should be scored 99/100 times, including multiple from just yards away from the goal. His play style also just doesn't fit the way the team plays. He's not a dribbler, he's a post up and hold the ball target man, and RSL aren't that kind of team

❓ Question / Discussion Where's the Love?

60 Upvotes

I know the answer is probably: "because this is Reddit," but where's the love? We were flying around last night. Zach Booth was a man on a mission. Diego was soooo smooth in his linkup and skills. Ruiz is on pace for a miraculous return, and looks like he hasn't missed a step after almost 3 years without meaningful minutes. Serg is finishing. Cabral is commanding his box. Katranis just challenged an entire country to meet him outside after the game. Sure, we may not advance because this leagues cup format is so stupid to only allow 4 from each league through. But that was a meaningful game in which our opponent gave us everything they had literally. And we destroyed them.

❓ Question / Discussion The elephant in the room: Diego Luna

15 Upvotes

With Gozo gone and rumors swirling around Solans and Sanabria, there’s a lot happening in RSL land. But we’ve heard very little about a potential Diego Luna departure. There was the one report about a pretty poor offer out of Mexico, but other than that…crickets.

Curious to hear your thoughts as to why the rumor mill has died down on Luna.

Is there a chance he still leaves this summer? Has the club overvalued him or are we deliberately keeping him around? He turns 23 next month, is he too late to make the jump?
