Keep it up back there…
RSL’s defense has been on a stellar run of form recently. With the exception of Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s early brace in Columbus last weekend, our backline has given up just one goal since September. We caught up with a few of the guys yesterday to get their thoughts both on what has contributed to this stretch and what they need to do to keep it going in Chicago.

Blanco can only turn a game around cause he cheats.
Blanco doesn’t cheat, Blanco plays the dive and plead method of soccer. Dive everytime someone touches you, he has earned that right by being good and getting fouled so often but the shame is he would be so much better if he didn’t do it. I do think his continued efforts to plead and beg for cards has to be dealt with, if giving an official a jersey after the match isn’t working maybe he should just give it up.
We need to play with as few mistakes as possible, both of the goals that Chicago scored on us this year were the result of defensive mistakes, well and Rolfe using his arm. They are solid with big names but we are a better team and if our guys can play with the confidence they showed for the last 60 minutes in Columbus then we have a better than average chance of coming out with the win.
we have to abuse the second and third string defensive they have early. If we net one in the first 30 minutes (while keeping a clean sheet ourselves) we will be in great position. They will have to sacrifice some defense, and we will have to continue to apply pressure.
Please, JK, come out ready to play and on the attack. Dont sit back, dont be overly cautious, dont be afraid. Tell the guys to score 8 goals on them, we need to beat Chicago at least once this year, why not now?
FORZA RSL!!!!
Blanco payed a ref, wtf is that denz?
