It’s hard to imagine a set of circumstances any more difficult than the ones that Real Salt Lake faced against LAFC in the U.S. Open Cup almost two weeks ago.
The band was back together in this weeks episode of The RSL Lions Den. Tom Hackett, Spencer Warne and Matt Gaschk had a jam packed show that included the upcoming Major League Soccer match preview against the Chicago Fire, Jefferson Savarino rumors and is head coach Mike Petke putting too much time into the opposition, and not into his own team?
According to Sky Sports, English Premier League teams West Ham United and Newcastle United have mutual interest in Real Salt Lake winger Jefferson Savarino, 22.
Real Salt Lake announced that they have hired Tom Spall as Academy Director, bringing an expansive vision to one of the most successful USSDA academies in Major League Soccer.
LAFC held a 1-0 lead over Real Salt Lake after the first half of their U.S. Open Cup match, but goalkeeper Nick Rimando was doing his part to keep his team close.
United States Men's National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter finalized his 23-man roster that will participate in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Real Salt Lake forward Corey Baird did not make the roster.
The Mike Petke Coaches Show hosted by Brian Dunseth is a little bit different with the RSL head coach taking some time off with the club not having a game this week. General manager Craig Waibel filled in and talked about how his role has changed in the last five years and the growth of the organization.
Real Salt Lake midfielder Albert Rusnak will join the Slovakian National Team for two matches, beginning with a friendly on June 6 against Jordan in Slovakia before traveling to Azerbaijan for a UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifying match on June 11.
