REALly Cold.....


April 30th.....and its still snowing. But that wont stop Spencer and I from going to the game and it didnt stop Real Salt Lake from dominating the San Jose Earthquakes 3-0. In the fifth minute, the Earthquakes were forced to make two early subs after both center defensemen had a nasty collison. The sound of the two heads crushing into each other came clearly through my beanie and sweater headie. The loss of the two defenders was clearly evident as Real Salt Lake scored three goals in the next 20 minutes, two of which came from poor passes in the backfield between defenders and midfielders.
Midfielder Kyle Beckerman scored two impressive goals for the second consecutive home game. Beckerman's first came after a few deflections off a corner kick. 10 minutes later, he followed up with his second with a laser-shot 15 yards outside the box. At halftime, he was subed out and then the snow shower arrived. With the addition to the 10-15 mile an hour winds it got freezin' cold.
Well, it appears like the curse is far past us now. After 15 games without seeing Real Salt Lake score a real goal (not including penalty kicks or own goals) we have seen seven goals in the last two games. Coincedently, it was when we changed seats in the stadium.......hmmmm
