For the first time, for the last time, again: The Clint Mathis hat trick

Carson, CA — Real Salt Lake traded veteran MF Clint Mathis to the LA Galaxy in the recent SuperDraft-day trade. The move is a hat trick of sorts. It marks Clint’s third appearance on Los Angeles’ roster. His first stint was in …

RSL shows off its bling!

Real Salt Lake hosted a party at Rio Tinto Stadium Tuesday evening. Some crazy guy on the field kept yelling about a 12th man. He pole danced with a scarf. True story. Dave Checketts can vouch for it. Ask him if you don’t believe me.

FW Abe Thompson added to RSL roster

Posted 15 Dec 2009 in Futbol, Major League Soccer, Real Salt Lake

Real Salt Lake lost backup goalkeep Chris Seitz to the Philadelphia Union (the MLS’ 16th team), and they lost Yura Movsisyan to the Danish Superliga. I know…its an oxymoron…Danish+Superliga. (Average attendance at a Superliga match is 8814…super!)

RSL acquisition FW Abe Thompson

RSL acquisition FW Abe Thompson

Hopefully for RSL fans Yura’s shoes will be adequately filled by the team’s newest acquisition, FW Abe Thompson (formerly of the Houston Dynamo and the Kansas City Wizards during the ‘09 campaign).

Abe has to be feeling good about the move to the champion RSL team. At the seasoned age of 27, Thompson was the only available player picked up during the Waiver Draft. (11 players were available.)

Thompson’s MLS stats aren’t stellar (15 goals during 89 regular season appearances (.17 goals per game)), but his collegiate record is outstanding. A two-time M.A.C. Hermann Trophy Award semifinalist,  the Maryland Terrapin (2000-04) was College Park’s all-time scoring leader (43 goals).

Abe is an excellent assist man. In college he racked up 26, and during his MLS tenure has accrued 12. He is also a fellow Virginian and Washington Redskin fan. For that alone, I pledge my undying loyalty to Abe. Welcome brother Thompson. Welcome.
