The Riot
For everything that's neither here nor there, a little weird, or perhaps has a cute picture of a player with an animal.
U.S. roster for June World Cup qualifiers released
Don’t miss the chance to see them in person next Saturday at the RioT
Snoop Dogg wearing a Real Salt Lake kit? Well, yeah.

The one they call Burrito Martinez has arrived in Salt Lake City. Color us excited.
RSL vs. Sporting KC: Olmes Garcia opens the scoring, 1-0
Never mind that the video (and the commentators!) called him Sebastian Jaime — this run and finish from Olmes Garcia was excellent. Oh, and the pass? Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Yet another phantom penalty given against Real Salt Lake
I don't want to alarm you, but it appears that Real Salt Lake has been handed yet another ridiculous, incorrect penalty decision. This time, it's referee Chris Penso. In this, watch for Elias Vasquez fouling, well, anyone. Can't find it? Surprise, surprise.
This team is something special.
The dancing is nice, but even better is the togetherness this group has shown in the last two weeks.
Abdoulie Mansally makes FIFA 15 Team of the Week

Well, this is a surprise. Abdoulie Mansally, who had a pretty good game last weekend, made EA Sports' Team of the Week for FIFA 15. He's on the bench. Now, this comes in a bit of a lull — we have MLS, some Eastern European leagues, and a handful of others playing right now. But in spite of all that, this is still a cool plaudit.
Luis Silva will wear #20 for Real Salt Lake
Welcome to the club, Luis Silva #RSL pic.twitter.com/jKhWmUwiX3

Given his old number — 11 — was taken by Javier Morales, Luis Silva will wear number 20. You might better remember that as Ned Grabavoy's number. We're trying not to tear up about this one.
Jeff Attinella on stopping Steven Gerrard
When Kaka was alone, I leaned a little bit and he caught me. And he caught me like that (snaps fingers) ... it was quick. So when he was coming in I thought 'Just stand my ground. Stay up, stay up,...RSL Communications
Aaron Maund's game-winning goal against LA Galaxy
Aaron Maund stepped up in a big way in RSL's 1-0 win over LA Galaxy. This goal was the difference — from the cross to the header — Maund's first in MLS was a cracker. Always lots of great clips from Real Salt Lake.
RSL's U-18s won a game in stoppage time with this spectacular goal
Edgar Duran, goalscorer extraordinaire, everyone.
PRO head Peter Walton on Kaka's stamp on Javi
ESPNFC is a bit weird sometimes, but this brief panel discussion of Kaka's red card-earning event on Saturday is well worth a view.

Fireworks. Pure fireworks.
Just like they drew it up: Real Salt Lake's set piece goal
A million-in-one shot, doc. A million-in-one shot.
What's life like in the RSL academy? Let an academy kid walk you through.
It's just awesome to see what these kids do on a day-by-day basis.

He's how old, you say?
Nat's still watching RSL — and he's proud of "Baby Borchers."
Fun game to watch! Nice Father's Day gift to see my son @justen_glad get his first start at center back. No doubt many more to come.
— Nat Borchers (@natborchers) June 22, 2015
Seriously — how good was Justen Glad?
Luke Mulholland's moment of the match
Luke Mulholland didn't have a bad match, but he'd probably like to take this moment back. (Although, hey, he went up well for the ball, and that could have been vital.)

This is seriously the most adorable thing you'll see today.
Merritt Paulson's started: USOC not "meaningful"
If USSF wants the USOC to ever be meaningful competition I hope they continue to improve the format (and also promote it)
— Merritt Paulson (@MerrittPaulson) June 18, 2015
We can't help but disagree with Merritt Paulson here, who's saying here that the US Open Cup isn't a meaningful competition. Oh, and he's on about the #coinisthestar stuff RSL coined (no — or at least little — pun intended. Check that out. And, you know, in case he deletes it, as he is wont to do, here's a screenshot.
Joao Plata scored his first goal of the year against S2. It was a beauty.
Joao Plata scored his first goal of 2015, and honestly, we were very excited about it then and we remain very excited about it now.

Yeah, that's hail. Wear a coat.

This one's the most interesting. Good work, Mr. Cross. Good work.
Will Joao Plata play on Saturday? It sure looks like it.
Saturday will be an amazing day for me. El sabado va a ser un buen dia para mi ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/TXBNfr53bB

Um, so, yeah. Be excited for this. Joao Plata is — that's reason enough for me.
Emery Welshman scores a beauty for Real Monarchs
Emery Welshman's goal for Real Monarchs was stupendous, putting the side up 1-0 over Portland Timbers 2 in the first half.
Devon Sandoval chipped the keeper from the flank
This is the best goal Devon Sandoval has ever scored. It's a goal of the week candidate, certainly.
