Each week pundits around the web rank the 20 teams in Major League Soccer in their own power rankings.
Here at RealSaltLake.com, we like to see where each of those experts place Real Salt Lake. Following a comeback 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids to give the Claret-and-Cobalt victories in three of the last four league matches, RSL jumped up spots in the three major rankings. Do you agree with RSL’s place in the MLS picture?
“Lots of praise to go around for their late-season resurgence. One overlooked piece has been the play of Jamison Olave, who's turned back the clock after an injury-marred first five months of this campaign.”
“The importance of RSL's victory was matched by the quality of its goals in a 2-1 over Colorado, as the tallies by Joao Plata and Luke Mulholland were both of the golazo variety. Next up is a titanic match at home against Portland on Oct. 14 that is loaded with playoff implications.”
“RSL didn’t win the Rocky Mountain Cup with a win in Denver, but it did stay alive in the playoff race and knock the Rapids out officially, so it was still a successful day against the team’s biggest rival.”
