Anyway, this is great for the team and the community. RSL has had the potential to do this all season long, but they chose now to put it all together.

Go RSL!!!

I am. I'm not a die hard fan. But I have been to a few games and I have been to the ground breaking of the stadium a few years back. It's been really fun watching this team grow from the beginning til now as they go to the finals for the first time.

Go RSL!!! Beat LA!!!

Why are they in the Eastern Conference?

Yea it's kind of weird how it's done. This year MLS pick three teams from the east and five teams from the west. Since RSL was number 8 at the bottom they were the one team that had to go play on the eastern conference. It's a good thing this is the way it worked out otherwise RSL wouldn't even made the playoffs.
Last year it was the other way around that the new york redbulls played on the western conference and beat RSL last year.

frankly, i don't think they should do the conference championships in the playoffs. have the winners at the end of the regular season be the conference champs (so this year would have been, what, columbus and houston or LA?) and have the playoffs be strictly for the mls cup.

Is History going to repeat itself or is this time for "Reals"?

Over 10 years ago the Utah Jazz made it into the NBA finals only to lose both the 1997 and 1998 finals to the Chicago bulls. Both times the Jazz had to take the on the best of the best of super stars with Michael Jordan. Only to lose and see Jordan win this 5th and 6th NBA Championship. After Jordan's retirement in 1999 as Jazz fans we all thought that this would be our time. But what happen next?....There was a NBA lockout and since after that it was all about the Lakers and Spurs.
10 years later....The State of Utah has a new team, Real Salt Lake. And this Sunday it's Real's turn to made it to a finals. ( MLS Cup ) But can these guys pull it off when the Jazz had failed in the pass? Once again Utah has to face the best of the best of superstars with David Beckham who in the pass has been a winner. This sunday might be the last MLS game for a little while since next year there could be a MLS lockout. Really?....Both times with both the Jazz and Real there's going to be a Lockout? Both times both teams had to play the best players ever known to the sport? Just like the NBA finals with Jordan this is going to be Beckhams final MLS year. ( Or so he says ) So just like before the world is going to watch the superstar as they all hope for Utah to lose. It's history repeating itself. Will it be different this time? All signs point to no.

Easy fella, Beckham is certainly not the best ever to play the sport. Not even close. He is definately a top 5 MLS talent at the moment and was an even better player 5 years ago, but has had no where near the impact on his sport that Jordan had on basketball. That kind of comparison has to be reserved for Pele, Maradonna and maybe (big maybe) Ronaldinho. Beckham has a fantastic service and midfield savy, but those other guys have owned so much more. I see Beckham as comparable to some of the great Italians. He's a strong midfielder who can play physically and deliver great touch at the right time. He's never been an explosive attacking player.
