Keepin It Real Expectations for 2008: Nick Rimando proved to be a top notch goalkeeper last year. Unless he loses this form, he will likely fill this role this year. Seitz will be busy with the U-23 team and the Olympics this year. However, it is likely that Seitz will see several starts for RSL during this season.
