In an Office Space-inspired effort to raise the amount of flair in the stadium tomorrow evening, our crack merch team is throwing out a special offer. Through the end of the game tomorrow night, you can snag one of the scarves pictured above from the team store for a full %50 off. That’s $10 for an official adidas/RSL scarf. You’ll never beat that…

Tune in to KALL 700 Sports tonight from 7:00-8:00 p.m. MT as Trey Fitz-Gerald and Brian Dunseth will be hosting this week’s edition of RSL First Kick. The guys will be chatting about everything RSL and MLS ahead of tomorrow night’s Rio Tinto Stadium showdown between RSL and San Jose. Not only will the show feature Dunny and Trey, but the on-fire Yura Movsisyan will be calling in and they’re looking to lock down the Earthquakes’ Chris Leitch as well.
If you’ve got questions or comments, as usual, you can text them in to 29909 or call live at 4, 5 or 6-700-700. Tune in, it should be a great hour of radio…
After an unbeaten month of June, RSL certainly has some worthy candidates for an MLS Player of the Month award. Take a peek at our nominees below and tell us what you think…
Yura Movsisyan
Known as a streaky scorer, Real Salt Lake forward Yura Movsisyan heated up with the weather during the month of June, scoring three times and assisting on another goal while helping the Claret-and-Cobalt to just their third undefeated month in which they’ve played more than three contests (2-0-2). Movsisyan began his four-game scoring streak across the month on June 6, his 79th minute goal temporarily putting RSL in the lead in an eventual 1-1 draw. Movsisyan would notch early in the following match at Los Angeles, his 13th minute rocket standing as the game-winner in a 2-0 triumph that halted the team’s seven-game winless streak. After assisting on Fabian Espindola’s go-ahead goal in RSL’s 1-1 draw at League-leading Houston on June 20, Movsisyan would again notch a match-winner at month’s end on June 27 against Toronto FC, tracking down an errant Amado Guevara pass and racing in alone for 50 yards on Stefan Frei, leading the scoring charge in a thorough 3-0 win over the Reds.
Nick Rimando
Since returning from a hand injury that forced him to miss three games in May, Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando has hit his stride between the posts, allowing just two goals in four contests across the month of June while steering the squad to an undefeated 2-0-2 stretch that came on the heels of a seven-game winless streak. Rimando began the month by pitching 88 minutes of shutout soccer before Omar Cummings’ wonder-goal tied the match at 1-1, but he rebounded strongly on June 13 at Los Angeles, making a season-high five saves while blanking the Galaxy in a 2-0 win. Only another late-match equalizer from Houston’s Brian Ching stopped Rimando from notching back-to-back shutouts on June 20, but Rimando would post another clean sheet on June 27 against Toronto FC to end one of the strongest month’s in his 10-year MLS career. Rimando exits June ranked 4th across MLS with a 0.90 GAA and tied for 3rd with four clean sheets.

It may be a little hot right now for this week’s merchandise special, but you’ll thank yourself down the road if you take advantage of it now. What is it you ask? Well through the rest of the week you can hop into the Team Store (9256 South State St., NE corner of the Stadium) and get yourself the RSL hoody pictured below for just $50 (or $40 if you’re an RSL Season Ticket Holder). Trust us, you’ll be glad you’ve got it when you’re at raucous Rio Tinto Stadium for our Playoff run in October and November.
Also, this Friday’s Real Hours will feature the classic RSL scarf pictured below for just $15 (normally $20). Snag one of those and you’ll look right at home in soccer (or should we say football) stadia worldwide…

UPDATE: Well, we just received word that tonight’s show will not be going down in Brigham City after all. Due to technical issues, Jason and the boys will be doing the show from the KALL 700 studios. You can still call or text your questions, as the show will air in its same 6-7 block. Sorry for any inconveniences the changes may cause. We’ll be back on location next week…
Original: The question for the day isn’t how low can you go, it’s how far north can you go? At least for tonight that answer is Brigham City, as the Rocky Mountain Chevy Dealers RSL Coach’s Corner on KALL 700 Sports is giving the RSL faithful up in Box Elder County some love when it rolls into Hansen Motor Company (located at 1175 S. Commerce Way in “The B.C.”) from 6:00-7:00 p.m. “RSL Nation North” is invited to roll into Hansen Motor Company to join Head Coach Jason Kreis and hosts Bill Riley and Spencer Checketts in person to get the scoop on all things Claret-and-Cobalt, while those inquiring minds that can’t make it to the show can participate by calling the KALL hotline at 877-353-0700 or firing a text over to 29909.

Maybe (get on over and make it happen right here)… Take the celebration into consideration though, and Clint wins, hands down! How often do you see a goal celebration that includes both spontaneous and well-thought elements? Well that’s what you got on Saturday night when Clint put the nail in TFC’s proverbial coffin with his 78th minute blast. The replays floating around the net so far don’t show it very well, but take a peek at the angle we got below. First Clint snags a flying streamer out of midair and incorporates it into his sprint to the corner, and then, after being mugged by teammates, pushes everyone aside and does a very impressive moonwalk in tribute to the late King of Pop. Check it out…
