Real Salt Lake vs. Columbus Crew: Your Running Commentary

Real Salt Lake and the Columbus crew do battle tonight at Rio Tinto Stadium with a place in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals on the line. (10pm, Fox Soccer Channel)

RSL needs a win tonight at home to advance, while the Crew can progress with a win or a tie other than 0-0. Columbus held on to a 0-0 tie in the first leg at Crew Stadium, but will need to score tonight to have any chance of pulling off the upset.

I will be providing updates on SBI's Twitter page so you can follow along there. If you will be watching tonight's match, please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below.

Enjoy the action.

  1. I’m a Galaxy fan and I’m really hoping RSL can represent MLS and at least get to the Champions League Final, if not win the whole damn thing. They seem pretty serious about it.

    Also, all credit to the RSL fans showing up to this game. Attendance looks pretty good tonight. Especially for a CCL game. I know it was cold and the Bluejackets and Ohio State BBall both had games that night, but the attendance in Columbus was somewhat disappointing. The RSL fan base has really grown since they won MLS Cup, I hope we see something similar for the Colorado Rapids (as well as FC Dallas).

  2. It is a lot easier sitting in the cold when your team rewards you by kicking some a$$. As a Galaxy fan, even the bad games are nice nights out in SoCal. Lol.

  3. haha so is Beckerman. I was quite surprised when Henry mentioned him as a player he was impressed with and then goes on in saying that he wants NYRB to play like RSL. Its quite a complement coming from an arsenal legend. You can tell Henry did his homework despite his limited playing time in MLS

    Beckham probably cant even name 4 starters for RSL.

  4. Good showing from the RSL fans. I can’t imagine it’s pleasent sitting outside for two hours in early March in Salt Lake City.

  5. Columbus have fallen hard indeed. Interesting that they started doing so well about the time GBS showed up, and then started slipping as they began showing GBS the door. Now that he is gone they are a shadow of their former selves. I don’t feel bad for the Crew after how they treated him.

  6. Loving some of the nuggets by the concacaf.tv commentator like his suggestion that “Robert Varsheecka.. throw some tea cups around the changing room” at half time.

  7. Awesome pass from Williams, great goal. I am not an RSL fan, but I certainly enjoy watching them play. I wish all MLS teams played this way. Way better game than last week.

  8. Grossman lucky to avoid a penalty on that corner Burse misplayed. Second time tonight Grossman has bearhugged a RSL player.

  9. Not just a chat where he answers questions, but a chat where all the readers of the site can also participate. Or make a forum.

  10. Crew look like they miss Renteria. Struggling with just one up top. I do like Ekpo though, he has some nice long passes.

  11. Yeah he has a great understanding of the game, but he usually puts me to sleep. However tonight he is ridiculously better in his enthusiasm for the game. I actually like having him call this game, and I never thought I would ever say that.

  12. I was thinking the same thing, this game is soo much better. The teams can actually string passes together. I guess the ice does mess with the play of the game.

  14. concacaftv you can watch for free on CONCACAF’s website. you just have to register for an online account. No credit card or any money needed. You can watch all the CCL games i think.

  15. Christopher Sullivan has been sooooo much better so far. Seems someone may have finally talked to him about sounding monotone and quiet. Hopefully he keeps itup because the guy knows his soccer.
