Real Salt Lake: Talley trade will benefit him, RSL, young players -> Deseret News/James Edward
RSL's coach is obviously most concerned about his club, which is why he said, "it was not a decision to make us better right now but in the long term it was a good decision for this club."

Nat Borchers Returns to Denver with Real Salt Lake -> University of Denver website
“I am very excited to come back to Colorado to play,” Borchers said. “Growing up in Pueblo, playing college soccer at DU and spending time professionally here after school makes this a great homecoming. The opportunity to play in front of family and friends and in the new Dick’s Sporting Goods Park is tremendous.”

Monday Morning Gaffer: FC Dallas vs Real Salt Lake ->3rd Degree/Buzz Carrick
RSL plays like the old Burn teams, moving the ball around the mid field to switch the point of attack. They keep the shape solid, look for a holes, and then go forward. Not a shock given who their coach is. They have the makings of a solid team. Some day, just as with Oscar Pareja, I want Jason Kreis to coach FC Dallas.
