SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES vs REAL SALT LAKE BUCK SHAW STADIUM, Santa Clara, Calif. July 14, 2012 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #178) 7:30 p.m. PT (CSN-CA; KTVX-ABC4) The class of the Western Conference thus far this season meet for a third this season when the San Jose Earthquakes entertain Real Salt Lake on Saturday evening at Buck Shaw Stadium. The Quakes return home after a two-game road swing, coming off a scoreless draw at FC Dallas. Real snapped a four-game winless run last time out, a 3-0 home win against the Portland Timbers. The Quakes have won both previous meetings this year, both in dramatic fashion. REFEREE: Allen Chapman. SAR (bench): C.J.

Real had won three of the five previous meetings, with two draws.  Coaches record: Frank Yallop vs. RSL: P16 W5 L7 D4 … Jason Kreis vs. SJ: P11 W5 L3 D3 LAST MEETING (MLS):  San Jose finally broke through in the quiet match in the 75th minute. A Ramiro Corrales free kick from the right side was allowed to bounce, and a miscommunication between Rimando and Nat Borchers left the ball sitting up for Alan Gordon to head into an open goal.  Four minutes later, Javier Morales brought Real back to even terms. His perfect free kick from 24 yards swerved over the wall and into the upper-left corner past Quakes 'keeper Jon Busch.  But San Jose swung the match back again six minutes from the end. A long throw from Justin Morrow was headed on by Gordon, and Wondolowski beat his man to the ball to redirect it on goal. Rimando got down for the shot, only to see it spin under him and over the line for his league-leading 13th goal.  REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Terakazu Tanaka (Luis Gil 72), Chris Wingert, Nat Borchers, Tony Beltran (Paulo Junior 89) - Ned Grabavoy (Jonny Steele 59), Kyle Beckerman, Will Johnson - Javier Morales - Fabian Espindola, Alvaro Saborio.  SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-3-1-2): Jon Busch - Steven Beitashour, Jason Hernandez, Victor Bernardez, Justin Morrow - Marvin Chavez, Khari Stephenson (Jean-Marc Alexandre 84), Ramiro Corrales - Simon Dawkins (Shea Salinas 66) - Steven Lenhart (Alan Gordon 59), Chris Wondolowski. SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes concluded their two-game road trip with a result, playing to a scoreless draw with FC Dallas on Saturday evening in Frisco. The Quakes lead the Western Conference with 37 points from 19 games.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

LAST MATCH  Both teams had shots cleared off the line in the first half. Fabian Castillo who nearly found the net in the 31st minute for FCD when he connected with a loose ball, but it hit fallen San Jose defender Jason Hernandez in front of goal and bounced away from danger.  The Earthquakes nearly broke through five minutes later. Chris Wondolowski was freed in on goal and chipped past an on-rushing Kevin Hartman in goal, but Hernan Pertúz recovered to clear the ball off the line.  Hartman finished the night with one save for FC Dallas, while Quakes 'keeper Jon Busch was credited with three saves.  Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop made two changes to the team that fell 2-1 to the Portland Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field. Marvin Chavez and Ramiro Corrales came into the midfield in place of Shea Salinas and Khari Stephenson.  SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-4-2): Jon Busch - Steven Beitashour, Jason Hernandez, Victor Bernardez, Justin Morrow - Marvin Chavez (Shea Salinas 62), Sam Cronin, Rafael Baca, Ramiro Corrales (sent off 80) Alan Gordon (Khari Stephenson 83), Chris Wondolowski. TEAM NEWS  The Earthquakes were shut out for just the second time this season, the first since a 1-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo on March 17.  I have to do a little better job of finishing it off. … I know it wasn’t in, but I don’t think you can get much closer to it not going in the net,” said Chris Wondolowski. “We had our chances, FC Dallas had a couple good defensive plays clearing off the line and a couple good saves by Kevin [Hartman].”  But it was also the Quakes’ first defensive clean sheet since March 31, when they posted their third in the first four games of the season.  “I thought our center midfielders were excellent tonight,” Quakes coach Frank Yallop said. “Sam Cronin and Rafa Baca covered a lot of ground against basically a three-man [central] midfield, with David Ferreira dropping pretty deep to pick the ball up and do his thing. They did a nice job of collapsing and making it difficult for those three players in there.”  Goalkeeper Jon Busch was able to return to duty after suffering an eye injury that forced him off at halftime of the LA match on June 30.  “Defensively we’re pretty happy just to get the zero. That’s our first one in a while and just to keep them off the board and [FC Dallas] really didn’t have a lot of chances to be honest, so we were pleased with that,” said Sam Cronin. “Our passing can get a little sharper and it’s disappointing not to finish off one of those breakaways we had.”  Alan Gordon made his second consecutive start, the first time this season he’s started in back-to-back league games.  “Coming into last year, he was injured. He was injured when he came in from Toronto FC to be honest. He had surgery and then he was out for the year, so it looked like a bad trade, but now it’s a good one,” said Yallop. “We didn’t know about the injury, but he’s better now. He has six goals in not that many minutes. He was close tonight, but he was a big man out there tonight. He leads the line well. He helps [Chris Wondolowski] with playing underneath a little bit to give him some space.” REAL SALT LAKE Real Salt Lake snapped their four-game winless run in emphatic fashion, rolling to a 3-0 win against the Portland Timbers on Saturday evening at Rio Tinto Stadium. Real sit in second place in the Western Conference with 36 points from 20 games. LAST MATCH  Real Salt Lake finally broke through in the 60th minute. After collecting the ball outside the area, Kyle Beckerman floated a ball towards the penalty spot that Alvaro Saborío rose up to meet and flick into the corner of the Portland goal.  Just two minutes later, Real and Saborío each had a second. Chris Wingert drove in a cross from the left flank and Saborio stretched forward to nod it past goalkeeper Troy Perkins.  Things got testy in the 64th minute after a Diego Chara tackle on Javier Morales, and Chara was sent off nine minutes later after parrying Saborío’s header off the line with his left hand, and the score was 3-0 after Saborio converted the resulting penalty kick.  RSL head coach Jason Kreis made four changes to the team that reached a scoreless draw with Seattle Sounders FC at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tony Beltran and Jamison Olave came back into the back four for Kenny Mansally and Kwame Watson-Siriboe, Ned Grabavoy started in midfield for Luis Gil, and Paulo came back in up top for Junior Fabian Espindola.  REAL SALT LAKE (4-3-1-2): Nick Rimando - Tony Beltran, Jamison Olave (Kwame Watson-Siriboe 82), Nat Borchers, Chris Wingert - Ned Grabavoy (Luis Gil 24), Kyle Beckerman, Will Johnson - Javier Morales - Paulo Junior (Emiliano Bonfigli 54), Alvaro Saborio.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

TEAM NEWS  Real Salt Lake put an end to their two-game losing streak at Rio Tinto Stadium – their first ever – their fourgame winless run dating back to June 20, and a 251- minute scoreless streak since Javier Morales scored in the last meeting with San Jose.  “We made it very clear to our players that we wanted to get back to the basics and establish a foundation,” said RSL head coach Jason Kreis. “I think we did that Wednesday night not allowing Seattle to score against us and then put it all together tonight. I feel like we’ve moved a step in the right direction.”  Alvaro Saborío hit for his third multiple-goal game this season, and scored just the second league hat trick in RSL history, the first since Robbie Findley hit for a triple to open the 2009 season.  “I think this is the guy, for me, that has just had a lot of injustices lately,” Kreis said. “The goals that have been called back against him that he's scored that we've reviewed again and say, 'Those are fair goals.' So, I'm really, really pleased that he scored three and perhaps we can all feel better about where he stands, and where we stand.”  Said defender Chris Wingert: "Our forwards have like 16 goals, our starters, and that's pretty darn good. When all things are clicking for us, they're scoring, and [Saborío] played great tonight. I'm psyched for him.”  Center back Jamison Olave returned to the team after missing the last three matches, playing 82 minutes before he was removed in favor of Kwame Watson-Siriboe.  “Everybody was freaking out and it’s understandable. We don’t want to get too high or too low from the way everbody else is reacting,” said Wingert. “Whether it’s great things or bad things, but we’re trying to stay on an even keel, but it’s tough after a few losses.”  Ned Grabavoy was able to return to the team after two matches out of the first team, but had to come off after just 24 minutes after suffering a groin injury.  Credited with his 131st goalkeeper victory, Nick Rimando pulled into second place all-time in league history, along with Zach Thornton. Current FC Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman is the all-time leader with 174.

Earthquakes’ Last Game Earthquakes 0, FC Dallas 0; July 7, 2012; FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, TX. San Jose could not find a winning goal against FC Dallas despite coming close on several occasions. 2010 MLS MVP David Ferreira returned to the FC Dallas starting lineup for the first time in 14 months, and while Ferreira helped Dallas enjoy the majority of possession in the first half, Dallas could not snap a 13-game winless streak. San Jose nearly scored by way of Chris Wondolowski in the 36th minute, except FC Dallas defender Hernan Pertuz cleared the ball off of the goal line following Wondolowski’s chip over onrushing Dallas keeper Kevin Hartman. Despite going down a man after Ramiro Corrales picked up his second yellow card in the 80th minute, Wondolowski twice came close in the dying minutes except a big save by Hartman and a vital block by Matt Hedges preserved the draw for Dallas. Earthquakes’ Last Game Against Real Salt Lake Earthquakes 2, Real Salt Lake 1; June 23, 2012; Rio Tinto Stadium, Sandy, Utah. A pair of late goals and a scrappy defensive effort lifted the San Jose Earthquakes atop the Western Conference table after defeating Real Salt Lake 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday. Alan Gordon scored his league-leading fifth goal as a substitute and assisted on Chris Wondolowski’s league-leading 13th goal of the season to spur the Earthquakes’ victory. Along the way, San Jose defenders Jason Hernandez and Justin Morrow each knocked balls off the line that were otherwise destined for the net. Gordon put the Earthquakes in front in the 75th minute, heading in a free kick from Ramiro Corrales. Corrales’ spot kick bounced high into the area and Gordon beat RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando to the ball before nodding it into the net. After conceding an equalizer on a bending free kick from RSL midfielder Javier Morales in the 79th minute, the Earthquakes found a game winner from a familiar face five minutes later. Gordon flicked a Morrow throw-in and Wondolowski side-volleyed in his sixth game winner of the season, securing San Jose’s spot atop the conference table.

San Jose Earthquakes vs. Real Salt Lake, July 14, 2012, 7:30 p.m. PT Rope-a-Dope The Quakes have a penchant for late-game heroics this season. The club is a league-best 4-3-3 when conceding first. Additionally, San Jose has scored five game winners – four in stoppage time – to go along with three equalizers in the 82nd minute or later. Late Goals in Bunches San Jose paces the league in goals over the final 30 minutes with 22. That total is seven more than the next-best team, D.C. United.

The franchise record for such goals is 16 from the 1998 campaign. San Jose also has six goals in 2012 in the 90th minute or later.

THIRD TIME A CHARM FOR RSL?:

Real Salt Lake and San Jose “clash” for the third and final time of the 2012 MLS regular season, the Earthquakes winning 3-1 here at Buck Shaw Stadium on April 21 and 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 23, knocking RSL out of first place on each occasion ... The Claret-and-Cobalt hope to return the favor Saturday, buoyed by the return of FW Fabian Espindola - who missed last weekend’s 3-0 home win v POR while serving a yellow card suspension - and a full week of preparation in anticipation of the #1 v #2 matchup ... In MLS and U.S. Open Cup competition since San Jose returned to the league in 2008, RSL has earned at least a point in 10 of the 13 contests between the clubs, dropping only a 1-2 match at Buck Shaw in 2009 as well as the two games this season ... RSL owns an all-time 6-5-6 mark against SJ in MLS and Open Cup play, including a 6-3-4 record since 2008 and a 3-2-1 mark in the Bay Area ... In each of the previous two seasons, RSL posted season-opening victories at Buck Shaw Stadium in both 2010 (3-0 W, Morales 2g, Espindola) and 2011 (1-0 W, Beckerman 1g, Rimando 9 saves) ... Overall, RSL had scored NINE unanswered goals in the MLS series prior to the first-half stoppage-time score at Buck Shaw ... San Jose was closest to snapping RSL’s MLS-record 29-game home unbeaten run for RSL, a stoppage-time Own Goal by SJ DF Chris Leitch back on July 3, 2009, that gave RSL a 1-1 draw ...

Back on April 21 at Buck Shaw Stadium, San Jose took advantage of an RSL side dropped to nine men for the first time ever in MLS play in a disappointing 1-3 loss ... Red cards on either side of halftime to FW Fabian Espindola and DF Jamison Olave ... RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman equalized with a short-handed goal shortly after halftime - only the 8th such goal in RSL history, and the first away from home - but a pair of stoppagetime goals by Earthquakes FW Steven Lenhart and Chris Wondolowski doomed RSL ... On June 23 at Rio Tinto Stadium, the RSL attack laid siege on the San Jose goal, seeing multiple chances thwarted by goal-line clearances by ‘Quakes’ DF Jason Hernandez, Justin Morrow and GK Jon Busch, before substitute Alan Gordon’s 75’ header gave SJ the lead ... RSL equalized quickly with a Javier Morales free kick in the 79’ but it wasnt enough, as a Wondolowski header trickled in off RSL GK Nick Rimando’s hand for the 84’ game-winner ... Real Salt Lake v.

REAL SALT LAKE @ SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES SATURDAY

JULY 14 2012 8:30PM MT

BUCK SHAW STADIUM

SANTA CLARA, CA

RSL - EARTHQUAKES CONNECTIONS:

SABORIO STEPS UP, CHOPS DOWN TIMBERS:

Second-year Real Salt Lake assistant coach C.J. Brown is a Hayward, Calif., native who starred in the South Bay in his college playing days at San Jose State (1993-96) prior to a 13-year MLS career, all with the Chicago Fire …

Sabo’s heroics gave the Costa Rican international his club-high 33rd goal in 70 MLS games, including 12 game-winning goals and 8 multi-goal games ... RSL is now 25-4-5 all-time when Sabo scores, the third-year MLS player joining Kreis (2005 Open Cup) and Robbie Findley (2009 MLS) as the lone “hat trick heros” in RSL’s eight-year, 275-game history across all competitions ...

Former RSL MF Jean-Marc Alexandre was traded to SJ on Dec. 1, 2011, after being selected by Real Salt Lake 12th overall in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft, making 38 league appearances for the club over three seasons, each of which ended with qualification into the MLS Cup Playoffs ... Prior to being traded to San Jose, the Haitian international appeared in 38 MLS regular-season contests, starting 14, scoring 1 goal and adding 2 assists, earning MLS Player of the Week honors for the 1 goal/1 assist performance last June in a 2-0 W vs Vancouver …

During his Chicago career, Brown was a teammate of current SJ ‘keeper Jon Busch, who backstopped the Fire during the 2009 Eastern Conference Final at Toyota Park, won by RSL in a 5-4 shootout following a scoreless 120 minutes ... Busch also played alongside RSL DF Chris Wingert with the Crew in 2004-05 … RSL MF Ned Grabavoy appeared in 24 games for San Jose in 2008 … Grabavoy also played under current Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop while with the Los Angeles Galaxy during the early part of the 2006 season, and was a teammate of Quakes GK Jon Busch with the Columbus Crew later in 2006 … Grabavoy played with Quakes FW Alan Gordon for LA from 2004-06 … Quakes FW Chris Wondolowski and RSL GK Nick Rimando have played together twice for the U.S. Men’s National Team, most recently featuring in head coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s starting lineup earlier this year on Jan. 25 for a 1-0 win over Panama in Panama City … Quakes DF Justin Morrow and RSL MF Jonny Steele both played for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in 2010 … Rimando (Montclair, Calif.), RSL DF Tony Beltran (Claremont) and Quakes rookie FW Cesar Diaz Pizarro (Chino) are all alumni of the Arsenal FC club program based in Temecula, Calif. … Quakes head coach Frank Yallop (52), assistant coach Mark Watson (77) and RSL MF Will Johnson (24) have all earned caps for the Canadian men’s national team, with Johnson having played under Watson at various youth levels, including U-23 during 2008 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying … Quakes captain Ramiro Corrales and RSL assistant coach Jeff Cassar played 90 minutes together for the now-defunct Miami Fusion on May 31, 1998, against the then-Dallas Burn at the Cotton Bowl, with current RSL head coach Jason Kreis scoring the 37th-minute winner in a 2-0 Dallas victory in what was Corrales’ only appearance for Miami … RSL GM Garth Lagerwey was the back-up goalkeeper for the Burn that day … Corrales also played with RSL assistant coach Miles Joseph with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars from 1998-2000 ...

A week ago, RSL FW Alvaro Saborio scored 3 goals in 15 minutes midway through the 2nd half to lead RSL to the 3-0 win, which snapped the club’s 4-game home winless streak in all competitions, dating back to the May 29 U.S. Open Cup loss to Minnesota (NASL) ... Jason Kreis’ team had also gone winless in its last four MLS matches, including three home games, a 3-0 road win at Chivas bracketing the drought ...

ROAD RUN CRASHES AT COLUMBUS:

The bizarre 0-2 shutout loss at Columbus on June 30 dropped RSL to 4-3-2 on the road this year, snapping a four-game unbeaten run away from home, RSL’s secondlongest stretch of road success in eight seasons, behind only the nine-game unbeaten run back in late 2010 ... The 14 points already amassed on the road in 2012 are just five shy of matching the club record set last year by the historically road-weary side ... RSL’s all-time MLS regular season road mark improves to 23-66-29 (.297; 112 GF / 191 GA) through 118 road contests in League play … Since Jason Kreis took over in May, 2007, RSL’s MLS road mark is 19-42-24, with the new team mark of five road wins in 2011 exceeding the four achieved in 2010, and more than doubling the two earned in each of the 2007-09 seasons … Last year’s 5-8-4 road mark was good for 19 points, matching the 2010 team-record total (4-4-7 in 2010) … On June 30 at Columbus, GK Nick Rimando and the RSL defense extended its road shutout streak to 331 minutes before Crew MF Tony Tchani slammed home a pass inside the box for the first road goal conceded by RSL since a late first-half penalty kick by Brek Shea in an eventual 1-1 draw at Dallas back on April 25 ... The club-record road shutout streak was set back in the fall of 2010, when the RSL rearguard did not allow a goal for 344 minutes over four games ...

TOP-OF-TABLE CLASHES UNKIND TO RSL:

For the sixth time in 21 games this season, RSL takes the field in a so-called #1 v #2 matchup, the third such encounter against San Jose ... RSL won the season opener, 4-1, against Los Angeles in a game billed as a “top-of-table” clash, but dropped points at Kansas City on April 14 (0-1) and the West battle at San Jose a week later (1-3) ... After bouncing back on May 12 at Seattle with a 1-0 win, RSL conceded first place in the West - and the overall MLS table - again on June 23 at home against the Earthquakes ...

REAL SALT LAKE @ SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES SATURDAY

JULY 14 2012 8:30PM MT

‘QUAKES KILLER JUSTIN BRAUN JOINS RSL:

On Wednesday, RSL GM Garth Lagerwey announced the acquisition of fifth-year MLS FW Justin Braun, the former Skyline (Salt Lake City) H.S. and Salt Lake Community College product who has scored 24 goals in 108 games in his MLS career (2008-11 w/ Chivas USA; 2012 Montreal) ... Braun has scored 4 goals in 8 games against San Jose all with Chivas USA - including 2 game-winning goals to go along with a pair of game-winning assists ... “Braunaldinho” will wear jersey #13 for RSL, the 6-3, 195-lb striker is considered target cover for FW Alvaro Saborio and a hybrid option off the bench, giving RSL a different look than speedsters Paulo Junior or Emilano Bonfigli can offer ... Scoreless in 12 appearances (5 starts) this season for the expansion Montreal Impact, “Braunzilla” did score TWO hat tricks last season for Chivas USA, which packaged Braun and Gerson Mayen in an expansion-draft day deal in exchange for DF James Riley ... Montreal receives a conditional 2014 MLS draft pick from RSL, which has now added three players aged 25 or younger with a total of 207 MLS appearances in the last month (DF Kenny Mansally & DF Kwame WatsonSiriboe) ...

DEBUTANTS IMPRESS ON RSL BACKLINE:

On July 4, RSL boss Jason Kreis inserted two players into his starting XI making team debuts for the first time since August, 2010, as DF Kenny Mansally - the Gambian international who spent five seasons with New England Revolution as a forward/winger - and 3rd-year MLS centerback Kwame Watson-Siriboe, formerly of the Chicago Fire - each started the game and acquitted themselves well ... Watson-Siriboe was acquired only a week earlier on June 27 and had not even participated in a full training session with the team, filling in for injured centerbacks Jamison Olave (L calf strain) and Chris Schuler (R foot bone bruise) ... Mansally began his RSL trial the day after the crushing U.S. Open Cup loss to Minnesota, eventually signing the RSL offer on June 19 ... ... Watson-Siriboe was selected 26th overall by the Fire back in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Connecticut ... The Chino Hills, Calif., native appeared in 10 games his rookie season with Chicago, where he was mentored by current RSL assistant coach C.J. Brown during his final MLS season ... Last year, Watson-Siriboe - a 6-foot-3, 200-lb. presence on the back line - played the full season with FC Tampa Bay (NASL) on loan, and had not appeared in any MLS first-team action with the Fire this season ... To make way for Watson-Siriboe, Mansally and Braun, RSL released FW Cody Arnoux, DF Chris Estridge and DF Leone Cruz ...

BUCK SHAW STADIUM

SANTA CLARA, CA

JOHNSON GOAL HAD RSL EVEN ALL-TIME:

A month ago, late in RSL’s last 3-0 victory against a West opponent, Real Salt Lake’s all-time MLS reg. season goal differential finally got back to EVEN for the first time since its inaugural game back in 2005, courtesy of MF Will Johnson’s goal in the 94+’ June 16 at Chivas ... This year’s +10 total has the club back down to MINUS-1 all-time after 238 games over 8 seasons ... Last year, with 20 min remaining in a Sept. game @NY, RSL was even all-time with a 3-0 lead ... But Lindpere pulled a consolation one back, the team lost 4-1 @DC & 0-3 v CHI to fall back underwater ... The accomplishment is all the more impressive considering RSL was MINUS-57 after a 1-3 loss @DAL on May 24, 2008 ... A victory Saturday at Buck Shaw would push RSL’s alltime MLS goal differential into positive territory for the FIRST TIME EVER ... In U.S. Open Cup play, RSL’s goal +/- is -6, while it is perfectly even in MLS Cup Playoff action ... The team’s +9 goal difference in CONCACAF play posts the club’s alltime / all-competition ledger at +2 now after Saborio’s heroics last weekend against Portland ...

JUST CALL KB5 “CAPTAIN CLUTCH”:

RSL Captain and MF Kyle Beckerman set up Saborio’s game-winning header last week against Portland, giving the dreadlocked veteran a club-record 13 game-winning helper in now 140 career matches since mid-2007 with Salt Lake ... Beckerman also had a pair of assists in setting up all three goals in RSL’s last road win, a 3-0 shellacking of Chivas back on June 16 ... In the last trip to San Jose, it was Beckerman’s 50’ equalizer that gave then 10-man RSL hope to salvage a point, scoring RSL’s ONLY short-handed road goal in club annals ...

RIMANDO CLIMBING ALL-TIME MLS CHARTS:

Nick Rimando’s victory over Portland allowed the veteran ‘keeper to earn career win #131, now tied with former NY/CHI GK Zach Thornton in the MLS career record books for second place all-time ... Active DAL netminder Kevin Hartman has 174 career victories, but has played 96 games more than Rimando, who celebrated his 33rd birthday a month ago ... Rimando is 2nd only to Hartman also in shutouts, his 94 career clean sheets 15 behind the Dallas ‘keeper’s 109 ... Rimando ranks #4 all-time in MLS history in minutes played with 27,693, and needs just two more starts to move into #4 all-time in that category (Pablo Mastroeni, 308 career starts) ...

OLAVE, BELTRAN ONLY 11-GAME WINNERS:

DF Jamison Olave & DF Tony Beltran are the lone players to have started in all 11 of RSL’s 2012 wins, as the constant lineup shuffle due to injury, suspension and national team duty has taken a toll ...

HISTORIC HAT TRICK FOR TICO SABO:

FW Alvaro Saborio provided RSL’s fourth multi-goal individual game of the season, a month after strike partner Fabian Espindola tallied twice on June 16 at Chivas ... With the Saborio hat trick, RSL saw its 36th multi-goal individual game in RSL history, across 275 games in all competitions [MLS (238), Playoff (12), CCL (12) & Open Cup (13)], with 24 of those 36 multi-goal games coming at home … When an RSL player scores 2 or more goals in a game, the team has posted a 29-3-4 all-time mark … Besides the 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul in CCL play and the 4-6 loss at Minnesota in Open Cup action, when was the lone MLS loss? … June 17, 2007, when Chris Brown’s brace @LA was wasted in a 2-3 loss: G 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 2

SABORIO SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD:

With RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman returned for the 0-0 draw v SEA from his yellow-card accumulation suspension served @ CLB and FW Fabian Espindola suspended last week after earning yellow cards @ CLB and v SEA, both players will be suspended for every three yellow cards the rest of the season ... RSL FW Alvaro Saborio also saw yellow on July 4 v SEA, meaning that the Costa Rican striker will be suspended upon his next caution ... Five players - including MF Javier Morales, DF Jamison Olave, MF Jonny Steele, DF Chris Wingert and MF Will Johnson also have 3 cautions on the season, at the precipice of the danger zone ...

SABORIO ONLY REMAINING IRON MAN:

Due to early-season injury concerns, schedule congestion and disciplinary situations for RSL, only one RSL player - FW Alvaro Saborio - has appeared in all 20 MLS games thus far ... DF Tony Beltran was the last to fall and remains the club’s minutes leader, starting the previous 18 prior to sitting out July 4 with an adductor spasm ... Captain Kyle Beckerman had played every one of 1,170 minutes through the first 13 matches prior to May’s U.S. duty (26 minutes in 5-1 W v Scotland, 15 minutes in 1-4 L v Brazil and 1 minute in 1-1 WCQ draw at Guatemala) ...

FABI Y SABO - BACK & FORTH:

RSL’s strike tandem of FW Fabian Espindola and Alvaro Saborio have combined for 11 of the club’s 15 goals since May, pacing RSL to a 5-3-2 mark in that span ... Sabo has the POR hat trick and two May braces against NE and DAL, while Espindola owns the June 16 brace and the May 12 game winner at SEA ... Beckerman, Morales, Borchers and Johnson have added single goals during that span, which has seen Espindola overtake Robbie Findley for the club’s all-time regularseason goal-scoring lead, and with Sabo’s hat trick a week ago, the Costa Rican moving into the top spot, 33 goals to 32 ... In all competitions, Saborio’s hat trick gave him career goal #44 in only 80 games, nine more than the Argentine Espindola has in 125 games when considering postseason and CONCACAF Champions League outputs ... In their time together at RSL since Sabo’s arrival in 2010, the duo have combined for 79 goals (65 MLS, 4 Playoff, 10 CONCACAF - RSL has 150 total, in 94 games) and have each scored in the same game 7 times ...

While RSL has no history with either club, familiarity is the name of the game regarding road trips to San Jose, Costa Rica and Panama City, as RSL faced Arabe Unido (Panama) during the group stage and Saprissa (Costa Rica) in the semifinals ... The CONCACAF Champions League slate necessitates two additional 3-game weeks for RSL in the Fall, with the July 31 road game at Herediano (CRC) slotted between a home game vs VAN and a road trip to Denver against the rival Rapids ... The Aug. 21 home game against Tauro FC (PAN) now occurs between a DAL home game and a road trip to Philadelphia, the longest MLS trip of the season for RSL ...

RSL BACK IN CONCACAF, THX TO LA/SEA:

With Los Angeles’ 2011 MLS Western Conference Semifinal win over NY, RSL Nation was disappointed to not be able to host the West Final … However, the Los Angeles victory did benefit RSL by allowing Jason Kreis’ club to secure passage to the 2012/13 CONCACAF Champions League tourney, by virtue of the Galaxy’s “duplicate” spots between the 2011 Supporters’ Shield berth and its trip - and eventual win - in MLS Cup ... Duplicate berths fall to the next best regular-season finisher, and with Seattle – last year’s #2 overall seed – already owning a 2012/13 spot thanks to its U.S. Open Cup title, RSL is next in line as the overall MLS #3 seed … This Fall’s CCL tourney will be played under a new format, as all 24 teams go directly into group play, with only the 8 winners who emerge from a 3-team, 4-game group stage advancing to the Championship round ... LA, SEA and RSL will be joined by Houston, which qualified as a 2011 MLS Cup participant ...

PARCHED FOR A GOAL (IN RUN OF PLAY):

On June 20, RSL FW Alvaro Saborio flicked home a cross from Espindola to put RSL up 2-0 in only the 24th minute against the Galaxy ... RSL would go another 396 minutes without a goal in the run of play prior to Saborio’s 60’ header last weekend against POR, the only goal coming in that span being Javier Morales’ scintillating free kick against San Jose on June 23 ... RSL has dropped only four games all-time when seeing a Saborio strike, posting a 25-4-5 mark in games in which Saborio - who has 44 goals in 80 games across all competitions since arriving in Utah in early 2010 scores ... Each of the last two losses when Sabo finds the back of the net have come against LA, June 20 of this year and also in the 2011 West Final at LA ... The only loss prior to 9/24 at DC was the rain-soaked 4-5 loss at Cruz Azul), compared to the 16-18-15 mark when he plays and does not score, as well as RSL’s 7-3-4 record when Sabo is unavailable …

PERFECT FROM THE SPOT:

On March 31 at Portland, “Sabo” set up MF Ned Grabavoy in alone on the ‘keeper, but a defensive handball in the box was whistled for the late first-half penalty, setting the stage for Saborio to slot home the resultant PK ... A week ago against the Timbers, the Costa Rican international kept things perfect from the spot, slotting home the PK after his header was cleared off the line by Diego Chara’s arm ... The conversion made him 10-for-10 from the spot in an RSL uniform (7-for-7 in reg. season games, 3-for-3 in CONCACAF) ...

LATE DRAMA PART OF RSL DNA BORCHERS’ TURN FOR 3RD TIME THIS YEAR:

DF Nat Borchers’ game-winning goal on May 26 against Dallas marked the 3rd time in this season’s 11 wins that RSL rode a 93+’ game-winning goal to victory, all in games led 1-0 by the club at some point ... Borchers’ heroics marked the 19th all-time go-ahead goal scored by RSL in the final 15 minutes of a regular-season MLS or CCL game, and evoked memories of his 93+’ equalizer back in the fall of 2010 at home against rival Colorado ...

A month prior, MF Jonny Steele’s 93+’ game-winning goal April 28 against Toronto was the 2nd in a month, after the Claret & Cobalt went nearly a year without the late drama ... On 3/31 in Portland, it was Steele’s 89’ equalizer that pulled RSL back, setting the stage for MF Kyle Beckerman’s 93+’ game-winner … RSL’s last previous late game-winner came on May 7, 2011, when MF Will Johnson finally broke through in the 87’ after RSL had a 2-man advantage for nearly 50 minutes in the game most remember due to the horrific ankle injury suffered by playmaker Javier Morales … All-time lists for equalizers and GWG: RSL

FLIPSIDE OF STOPPAGE TIME IS A KILLER:

However, RSL has seen the flipside of those late heroics, as 4 consecutive goals allowed at San Jose and at Dallas were conceded during added time in either the first half (47+ at SJ, 46+ at DAL on a disputed PK) or second half stoppage (92+ and 93+ with only nine men on field at SJ) ... Earthquakes’ FW Chris Wondolowski scored his gamewinner at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 23 in the 84’ - just 5 minutes after the Javier Morales free kick equalized for RSL ...

LONGEST-TENURED CORE IN MLS HISTORY:

The Kreis/Lagerwey “Team is the Star” mantra has long been lauded for its simple, unselfish approach that has redefined the culture of an organization and enabled a small-market club to compete annually with DP-laden payrolls ... The philosophy that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts is perfectly epitomized by the fact that TEN players return this year, with the 2012 MLS season marking the group’s fifth or sixth campaign in Claret & Cobalt ... The list: Player Acquisition Date GK Kyle Reynish Jan., 2007 GK Nick Rimando Feb. 2007 DF Chris Wingert June, 2007 MF Kyle Beckerman July, 2007 MF Javier Morales August, 2007 FW Fabian Espindola August, 2007 DF Tony Beltran Jan., 2008 DF Nat Borchers Feb., 2008 DF Jamison Olave March, 2008 MF Will Johnson July, 2008

RSL GP 7 158 139 138 112 111 71 132 114 103

Back on 3/10 at LA, this group marked 5+ seasons together and set a new MLS record, breaking the current one held by New England, which saw 8 players compete together from the 2003-07 seasons ... That group was: Joe Franchino, Jay Heaps, Shalrie Joseph, Marshall Leonard, Pat Noonan, Steve Ralston, Matt Reis & Taylor Twellman ...

IDENTIFYING NEW BLOOD, THE RSL WAY:

The most notable absence from RSL’s locker room is that of MF Andy Williams, whose seven-year tenure as an “RSL Original” came to end with his retirement in December, 2011 ... Williams played 14 years in MLS, bouncing from Columbus, to New England, to New York, to Miami and finally to Chicago in his first 7 seasons, the 1998 Jamaica World Cup veteran coming to RSL in November, 2004 as the club’s top expansion draft pick ... Williams went on to play a club-record 189 games for RSL, with 14 goals, 29 assists and one MLS Cup ring marking his time on the Wasatch Front ... The RSL time for “Bomma” is not over, however, as Williams immediately accepted a position as the club’s Head Scout, working with Lagerwey, Kreis and the technical staff to identify players of all ages for RSL’s senior, academy and youth teams, including many of the new faces beginning their MLS and/or professional careers now ...

RSL MF Will Johnson saw straight red in the 59th minute May 5 v NE, the team’s third ejection of the season and the Canadian midfielder’s 2nd red card in now 103 career MLS games ... The Johnson red card - nine games ago was the 3rd of the year for RSL, giving Jason Kreis’ team a total of 10 red cards (Olave 2, Borchers 2, Johnson 2, Beltran, Beckerman, Warner, Espindola) in a span of 45 regular-season matches, in contrast to the total of 4 ejections (Olave 2, Grabavoy, Mathis) in the prior period of 45 games dating back to August of 2009 ...

With the ejections of FW Fabian Espindola and DF Jamison Olave on April 21 at SJ, RSL was reduced to nine men for the first time in the eight-year organization’s now 230game MLS history, and just the second in 275 games overall (including MLS postseason matches, CONCACAF Champions League games and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches) ... Ultimately, the valiant nine-man RSL side held firm for the final 21 minutes of the match, until the full-strength San Jose side was emboldened by a lengthy six minutes of added time ...

The sensational 53’ goal by RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman at San Jose on April 21 - ultimately named the MLS Goal of the Week - gave RSL its eighth short-handed goal in its now 238-game MLS regular-season history, and its first-ever away from home ... the others:

The club suffered an RSL-record 7 ejections in 2011, after a team-best ZERO during the 2010 campaign until Javier Morales received two yellow cards at Dallas in Leg #1 of that year’s West Semis ... All-time, RSL now has been victim of 40 red cards, succumbing to a -14 goal difference in a total of 970 minutes playing a man down … Incredibly, SIX of those nine goals came in one game, the 0-6 loss @NY in August 2006 when DF Jack Stewart was tossed in the 8th minute …

Real Salt Lake’s eye towards the future was bolstered in February with the signing of promising goalkeeper Lalo Fernandez as the club’s third-ever Homegrown Player. The addition of Fernandez marks the second dip into the Homegrown Player well by Real Salt Lake in less than a year, following on the heels of fellow RSL-Arizona Academy product Nico Muñiz (Sept. 2011) and Donny Toia (May 2011).

After playing the second-most minutes of his career in 2011, Tony Beltran again showed why he belongs in the discussion with the best outside backs in Major League Soccer. For the second time in his career the 24-year-old made more than 20 starts and helped solidify a back line that was depleted by injuries all season long – until he unfortunately suffered one of his own, limiting his minutes in the final two months of the season.

The 19-year-old Fernandez has kept busy over the last year-and-a-half, helping the RSL-Arizona Under-18 squad begin its first season in U.S. Soccer Development Academy in October 2010 and going 5-3-3 (1.00 GAA, 4 shutouts) in 11 appearances through the spring of 2011. After initially agreeing to play collegiately at the University of Wisconsin, Fernandez tacked course and tested the international waters, first spending a training stint with Mexican first division side Atlas – based in his birthplace of Guadalajara – before signing with Uruguayan power C.A. Peñarol last August.

While his staunch 1-v-1 defending continued to be rock solid, the cerebral and supremely fit Beltran has also provided more consistency when jumping into the attack, his flying runs up either flank ending with dangerous service into the area more often than during his previous two seasons of play. It can’t be long until Beltran sheds the status of one of the most underrated outside defenders in Major League Soccer, but, until then, the RSL braintrust will be more than happy to unleash the mature-beyond-his-years winger upon opponents that may underestimate the UCLA product’s considerable talent and tenacity.

The 6-foot-3, 165-pound Fernandez has been involved in the Youth National Team set-ups of both the United States and Mexico, playing for the Mexican Under-17s and training with the U.S. Under-20s last November. The El Paso, Texas, native’s goalkeeping skills run in the family, as his father, enjoyed a career as a professional netminder in Mexico.

However, now that he’s a known commodity, the RSL center back can’t seem to stop the plaudits coming his way, the ultra-athletic center back garnering spots on the MLS Best XI and MLS All-Star teams for a second consecutive season in 2011. He began the year by not only displaying his usual defensive prowess, but also securing himself an even bigger spot in RSL lore courtesy of some offense, as it was his goal at Deportivo Saprissa that would swing the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal series the Utah side’s way. While RSL fans loved seeing “The Verb” represent the Claret-and-Cobalt against Manchester United in the All-Star Game once again, they were also left holding their collective breath after a sliding tackle sidelined him with an MCL sprain in his left knee. Success, it appeared, might come at a price. However, Olave would return after missing only a month, using his unique blend of size and closing speed – in addition to a growing sense of comfort with the ball at his feet – to keep opposing forwards on lockdown. Olave would again suffer from injury, this time a quadriceps strain, during the 2011 postseason, but the 2012 preseason sees the Colombian fit as a fiddle and ready to lead the RSL backline to more impressive and historic numbers – more specifically the ones in the “W” and “SO” columns. And, speaking of numbers, the 30-year-old Olave will hit a nice round one the next time he sees the field, as his next appearance on the fiels will mark his 100th in MLS regular season play.

However, most players aren’t like Kyle Beckerman, whose 12th season only propelled him towards bigger heights both with his club and for his country, as 2011 saw the RSL captain go from a perennial MLS All-Star and part-time U.S. Men’s National Team performer to a legitimate league MVP candidate and First XI stalwart for Jurgen Klinsmann’s USA squad. Beckerman’s ability to step up his game in the absence of main playmaker Javier Morales showed both on and off the stat sheet, his increased leadership role on the field during an adversityfilled 2011 proving just as crucial as his career-best nine assists (including six game-winning helpers) across regular season play. The 29-year-old Beckerman is hitting his peak as he enters 2012, a year in which he’ll likely leap into the league’s all-time top 20 in games played and started while also playing an integral role for the US Men’s National Team as it begins its qualifying journey for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals in Brazil. While an offseason adductor strain might have slowed RSL’s heart-and-soul down temporarily, Beckerman should be ready to set the tone for the Claretand-Cobalt right out of the gates in what he hopes is a lucky 13th season in MLS.

While missing four of 34 regular season games like Borchers did in 2011 wouldn’t be noteworthy for most players, for the “Ironman of MLS” it was more than a bit out of the ordinary. And even with that said, Borchers’ 30 starts last season allowed him to become the only player across Major League Soccer with at least 29 starts in each of the last four years. Death … Taxes … Borchers, indeed. The big story for Real Salt Lake as it approaches its season opener in Los Angeles might just be if the three-time RSL Defender of the Year winner will be in Jason Kreis’ First XI. The right quadriceps strain the 30-year-old backline staple suffered in last October’s postseason opener against Seattle has forced a cautious approach during this year’s preseason camp, but Borchers vows to be ready to go for rematch of the Western Conference Championship … a game the ever-steady center back would have certainly been a difference-maker in had he been able to give it a go.

MIDFIELDER

Seemingly overshadowed by other forwards every since he joined Real Salt Lake five years ago, the attention turned Fabian Espíndola’s way in 2011 seemed to increase. Then again, everything involving Espíndola seemed to be ratcheted up a notch last season – his focus, an already-high energy-level and even his notoriety across the league all received noticeable bumps. However, the most important thing the fiery Argentine increased last year was his production, as Espíndola knocked home a career-best 10 goals in league play and added a goal and two assists during RSL’s CONCACAF Champions League run that allowed to Utahns to continue their historic path to the tourney’s finals.

Will Johnson was a busy guy in 2011, but when you’re depended upon to be a stalwart for both your club and country, well, that just goes with the territory. But with Johnson possessing one of – if not the best – motors in all of Major League Soccer, the industrious 25-year-old not only has the stamina to handle the added workload, but the pride and character to relish it. He also has the history to prove he can handle the added miles as well, playing at least 2,000 minutes and in at least 25 regular season contests for the Claretand-Cobalt in each of his first three full seasons … and that’s not counting the additional wear-and-tear (and pressure) endured during Cup competitions.

It’s easy to forget that Espíndola was a part of the massive rebuilding process that Jason Kreis began midway through 2007; and yet, at the same time, it seems hard to think about RSL without the passion and grit of the 26-year-old forward. Re-signing Espíndola was priority #1 for Real Salt Lake this past offseason, and when two sides were able to agree to a four-year pact you could almost hear an audible sigh of relief from Claret-and-Cobalt fans near and far. With his regular up-top running mate, Álvaro Saborío, a question mark for the start of the campaign, the scoring burden will likely fall to Espíndola – then again, that’s something the confident striker will likely pick up as well.

With another round of World Cup qualifying in store for his Canadian National Team and another run in the CONCACAF Champions League on the docket for Real Salt Lake, it’s going to be another chock full calendar in 2012 for Johnson, who will again be depended upon to man the left side of RSL’s midfield diamond. While a procedure to correct a sports hernia issue might slow Johnson down for the first few weeks of the season, the RSL faithful can rest assured his odometer will start spinning furiously sooner rather than later.

From the get-go, the Argentine midfield maestro was pulling the strings for a Real Salt Lake side on the cusp of international glory, his infectious attitude, quiet leadership and abundant skill helping a pioneering club earn plaudits from every corner of America’s soccer landscape. So while RSL’s disappointment at the end of its CONCACAF Champions League run in late April was a tough blow for the squad, it’s quite telling that the result’s effect on the team’s season paled in comparison to the loss of Morales to an ankle injury just 10 days after the stinging defeat. It is also telling that, during a stretch of two weeks when clumsy challenges like the one Morales suffered from felled some of MLS’ other brightest attacking talents, RSL’s playmaker vowed to come back before season’s end. Anyone who saw the incident must have thought Morales’ thoughts were wishful thinking at best, but they also weren’t witness to the hard work he put in day after day. While the air was sucked out of the building that day, Morales knew it wasn’t sucked out of the season, and he wanted to make sure he could help the squad finish the challenge it had laid down at the start of the year – add hardware to the trophy case.

Five years ago, Real Salt Lake brought a young Argentinean striker into its side by the name of Fabian Espíndola … and now the Utah side is hoping it has unearthed a similar talent in his countryman, Emiliano Bonfigli. The lanky striker proved worth taking a flyer on in the MLS Supplemental Draft, the 23-year-old showing more than enough finishing prowess during RSL’s opening preseason camp to earn a spot on the team’s forward depth chart. With a congested schedule ahead, expect Bonfigli to be firmly in the mix for the “spot starter” role up top alongside fellow “young guns” Paulo Jr. and Cody Arnoux.

While that goal wouldn’t come to fruition, the comeback of Morales inspired not only his teammates, but the RSL faithful as well, who could not get enough updates on the status of “Javi” and when – not if – he would return to the field. While Morales was never back to 100% during the final six weeks of the season, he showed plenty enough to make it clear that he was closer than anyone, save himself, might have thought. But, perhaps more than anything, his comeback allowed everyone the opportunity to remember a different image of #11 at Rio Tinto Stadium in 2011 – the thunderous standing ovation he received upon entering the Sept. 28 match against Chicago in front of the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. 20,762 fans, all there to pay tribute to the heart-and-soul of RSL, to see the maestro pick up his baton once again. The start of the 2012 campaign sees Morales continuing to overcome injury, an offseason procedure to clean out bone spurs in his left foot and a right quad strain suffered during the preseason limiting him during the squad’s preparations for the upcoming season. But if 2011 proved anything, it’s that Morales will be able to overcome any challenge thrown at him … and likely sooner than anyone could imagine.

When it came to taking advantage of an opportunity in 2011, nobody did it better than midfielder Yordany Alvarez, who parlayed his USL PRO League MVP performance for Orlando City S.C. into a quasi-starting gig last September shortly after joining Real Salt Lake on loan at the roster freeze deadline. The one-time Cuban international provided quality cover for Kyle Beckerman, whose suspensions and U.S. MNT call-ups across the last quarter of the season forced Alvarez onto the field for five contests. The 26-year-old performed well enough during the impromptu “trial by fire” that RSL sought to secure his services on a more permanent basis, and the Utah side did just that in February by coming to buyout terms with Orlando and locking up the holding midfielder via a new three-year deal. With Beckerman again slated to pull double-duty for club and country during much of 2012, fans can expect to see Alvarez back in the Starting XI mix on many more occasions.

FORWARD

As a forward there’s always pressure to perform, and in 2011 the pressure seemed to be both a blessing and a curse for Álvaro Saborío, who began the year with a new contract that heaped on the added weight of becoming Real Salt Lake’s first-ever “Designated Player” (though the title was more a technicality thanks to the transfer fees involved in obtaining his full rights). The roller-coaster season saw Saborío bag goals in bunches and in some critical moments, but also included some droughts and mountains of adversity on the national team front for his native Costa Rica. A part of that ebb-and-flow of output was due to injury, as Saborío rushed back from offseason knee surgery quickly in order to help keep his hot hand in the CONCACAF Champions League going from the prior fall. While he indeed helped carry the squad to the tournament’s finals, his production and availability would suffer in the months to follow, only to ratchet back up during a torrid stretch in mid-summer. When the dust settled, “Sabo” had collected 16 goals across 32 games in all competitions, keeping pace with the 18 tallies in 36 contests the season prior. The wear-and-tear resulted in another surgery on his right knee immediately after the season, making his return to the line-up at the start of 2012 a question mark. However, the “Tico Terror” won’t be sidelined for long, as he has progressed strongly during the club’s preseason camps and is expected to be on the field and creating havoc for the opposition by April at the very latest.

Real Salt Lake broke new ground last fall when it agreed to terms with Nico Muñiz, making the midfielder the first RSL-Arizona Academy member to jump straight to the “big club” from Casa Grande. While technically unable to perform for the MLS outfit until the new year, the now 19-year-old Muniz joined the first team in Utah upon the announcement in September, giving him a leg up on preparations for his first professional campaign with what amounted to a seven week “sneak peek.” Muñiz started three of his six appearances (346 min.) as a regular call-up for the RSL Reserves in 2011, and the Albuquerque native should expect to see his development continue largely through opportunities in MLS Reserve League fixtures during the 2012 campaign.

The outside back position in RSL’s 4-4-2 system is perhaps one of the most challenging spots in Major League Soccer – to call them “defenders” is simply not doing them justice. The role requires players to have the physicality to defend one-on-one, the speed and stamina to make run after run up and down the flank to provide width in attack and the technical acumen to make things happen with the ball, be it by providing crosses into the area or quick combinations with the midfield. You have to be smart, disciplined and in ridiculously good shape … in other words, you almost have to be Chris Wingert. The 29-year-old Wingert will enter the 2012 season as RSL’s longest-tenured field player, beating out his former ex-Colorado teammate Kyle Beckerman for the honor by three days courtesy of their back-to-back trades in mid-July 2007. That longevity has not only shot him up the RSL all-time rankings in numerous categories, but it’s also allowed him to master the abilities necessary to thrive on the island that can sometimes be the outside back position in Jason Kreis’ preferred line-up. To protect against the wear-and-tear that saw nagging injuries effect the three-man rotation of Wingert, Tony Beltran and the departed Robbie Russell last season, the Claret-and-Cobalt will hope Wingert can mentor whichever two players emerge in the back-up battle out wide during preseason to increase the rotation to four by midseason. If there’s anyone up for the task of mentoring it would be Wingert, a locker room leader who also has the NSCAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor from his Senior season at St. John’s in his back pocket.

LAST MLS SHUTOUT: 07/07/12 v POR - ACTIVE 2-game streak LAST GAME: 07/07/12 - start/90’/0 saves in 3-0 W v POR Nick Rimando would have been hard-pressed to duplicate the record-setting 2010 campaign he presided over between the posts for Real Salt Lake, but his 2011 season was not all that far behind. Once again finishing at or near the top of Major League Soccer in goals against average, shutouts and wins, Rimando’s 12th MLS season gave credence to the theory that the shelf life of the American goalkeeper is almost limitless … a good sign now that the 32-year-old Rimando is the elder statesman of the Claret-and-Cobalt after the offseason retirement of Andy Williams. That being said, it takes more than age to climb towards the top of MLS’ record books, which is exactly what Rimando has done by ranking second in all-time shutouts (87) and third in wins (121), games played in goal (288), starts in goal (also 288) and minutes in goal (26,073). Much like teammate Kyle Beckerman, Rimando’s international career has also picked up steam once again, as the Southern California native has been a regular call-up under the new regime of Jurgen Klinsmann since his appointment as USMNT’s sideline boss last summer. If Rimando can continue to produce sparkling performances like the first half he turned in against Panama in January, it will be a busy year of shuffling between club and country for the RSL fanbase’s favorite “homeboy.”

Some things are just meant to be, and that seemed to be the general consensus when highly-touted midfielder Enzo Martinez fell right into the lap of Real Salt Lake late in the first round of January’s MLS SuperDraft in Kansas City. Why the key cog for North Carolina’s College Cup-winning side slid to the 17th overall pick will never be known, but what is for certain is that the motivated midfielder’s savvy on the ball, mature decision-making and industrious workrate will make the native Uruguayan a perfect fit in the diamond midfield RSL has perfected under Jason Kreis. While the RSL Technical Staff gushed about the Generation adidas product’s production and ability, it was even more impressed with his maturity off the field, forcing many of the pundits who questioned where the 21-year-old might fit on the field for many teams to also admit that the Claret-and-Cobalt might just have come away with the steal of draft day.

With Williams retiring during the offseason, the versatile Grabavoy will be depended upon even more by Head Coach Jason Kreis to set the tone on the field and in the locker room as one of the team’s core members.

During his third season in Claret-and-Cobalt in 2011, Ned Grabavoy continued to find more minutes in the platoon system with Andy Williams on the right side of Real Salt Lake’s diamond midfield, but, due to injuries and national team call-ups, the veteran also found himself at other spots in the diamond through necessity. Despite suffering from a nagging hamstring injury of his own late in the campaign, the gritty Grabavoy was able to register the second most appearances, starts and minutes of his eight seasons in Major League Soccer.

BUCK SHAW STADIUM

MIDFIELDER

Real Salt Lake’s philosophy for the development of Luis Gil had always been “slow and steady,” but then Javier Morales’ devastating ankle injury and a slew of national team callups hit in the spring, and the acceleration of Gil’s learning curve soon followed. RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis originally took a committee approach to replacing Morales as the summer progressed, but the rotation would eventually include a heavy dose of the then-17-year-old Gil, who indeed proved capable of rising to the challenge while also doing plenty of “on-thejob” training. While inconsistent, as most teenagers growing up in a professional league tend to be, Gil more often than not showed glimpses as to why he was coveted by some of the world’s top sides prior to joining the Claret-and-Cobalt back in 2010. The physicality of the opposition might not be as much of a problem in 2012, as Gil entered RSL’s preseason camp noticeably bigger and more confident, both on the ball and within the squad. With regular starters Morales and Will Johnson both dealing with injuries heading into the season, Gil may very well find himself a member of the starting XI when March rolls around

Jonny Steele has squeezed a career’s worth of stops into his first eight professional seasons, but the preseason pact he signed with Real Salt Lake might just allow the 26-year-old midfielder to stop and settle down for awhile … besides, there’s precedence for this sort of thing with the Utah side (see Williams, Andy). After years of hopping between second divisions clubs and indoor teams, the native of Northern Ireland has finally earned the opportunity to display his talents on the North American continent’s top stage, eight years after his stateside journey began with a trial for FC Dallas. While Steele’s presence will ratchet up the amount of bite in the RSL midfield, thinking of him as simply a “hardman” would be a mistake, as the former Wolverhampton performer didn’t win the 2008 USL-1 MVP award for the Puerto Rico Islanders on hard tackles alone.

As explosive as the fall 2010 debut of Paulo Jr. onto the Real Salt Lake scene was, it appeared that the Brazilian’s 2011 was equally as disappointing … but one look at the limited sample size of stats might just prove otherwise. While the swashbuckling striker missed exactly half of the season due to lingering hamstring and hip flexor injuries over the summer, when he was on the field he was able to produce, notching a pair of goals and five assists in what amounted to just under 600 minutes across MLS and CONCACAF play. The diminutive forward’s season got off to a sparkling start, as he recorded a goal, an assist or both during his first four overall appearances. However, the injury bug would strike soon afterwards, derailing a promising start and limiting him to substitute and spot-start duty across the last three months of the season. Despite the health concerns, Real Salt Lake recognized Paulo Jr.’s potential this past offseason and acquired the 23-year-old’s player rights from the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers in February. The Utah side hopes a new three-year contract will provide the stability and confidence the still-developing striker needs in order to perform, which would result in a dangerous complement to first-choice forwards Fabian Espíndola and Álvaro Saborío.

As the back-up to the 2nd-longest tenured player, Nick Rimando, the UC-Santa Barbara native hasn’t had many occasions to show his stuff in recent seasons, but when he was able to in 2011 he would deliver, notching two shutout wins in his three first-team appearances. The 27-year-old ‘keeper will not only continue to be perhaps the league’s most underrated understudy, but will also be looked at to help mentor young Lalo Fernandez, RSL’s latest Homegrown addition to the roster.

If you were not aware of Sebastian Velasquez when Real Salt Lake selected him towards the end of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, well, you weren’t alone … the plucky playmaker was the first Junior College player to be selected on draft day since Kansas City took another member of the RSL family, Yura Movsisyan, six years earlier. The Wasatch Front is a long way from Spartanburg Methodist College in South Carolina, but when word from collegiate scouting contacts about the “diamond-in-the-Upstate” came across RSL’s attention, due diligence by assistant coach Miles Joseph paid off for the now-21-year-old midfielder via an invite to the club’s December combine in Arizona. Velasquez impressed enough there to earn the nod to the next level, where he will be allowed plenty of time to learn how pull the strings on the top of RSL’s midfield diamond behind Javier Morales and Luis Gil.

After showing a glimpse of promise that was cut short due to injury in 2010, the Chicagoland native returned to the field with a vengeance in 2011, playing in 27 matches across all competitions as injuries and suspensions wrecked havoc at times on the RSL backline. Five months after breaking his foot just the day after RSL clinched a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League knockout phase, it was perhaps fate that Schuler would be called upon to serve in place of the suspended Nat Borchers right off the bat against Columbus in the CCL Quarterfinals. The 24-year-old would pass that test with flying colors, and, as the RSL Technical Staff began to grow more and more comfortable with him, Schuler would also begin to draw assignments at outside back as situations dictated. While some may think it unfortunate to sit behind one of the best center back tandems in league history on the depth chart, it is clear during the 2012 preseason that Schuler has been soaking up knowledge from Borchers and Jamison Olave over the course of his first two pro seasons. Learning the tricks of the trade from those pillars both technically and leadership-wise will certainly pay off with even better performances when called upon down the road, which may occur just as much this season with another congested schedule on the docket for the Claret-and-Cobalt.
