Tonight’s Real Salt Lake (8-8-7 for 31 pts) at the New York Red Bulls (8-7-8 for 32 pts) is a must win for both clubs and kicks off at 7.30pm (Eastern) on the Direct Kick package.
Cool little sitdown with our boy and Rancid drummer Branden Steineckert.
Even gets into his DC United jersey picture and the lengths he went to make up for it.
Started off the day at the FSC studios with my boy Mark Rogondino.
Rogo and I were doing the Iran at Saudi Arabia World Cup Qualifier.
Then made my way down the 405 to the Home Depot Center.
Walking out to the field.
Inside the RSL truck with Ken Neal on the left and Mike Foss on the right.
T-Fitz and John Koluder getting ready to do the radio side of things for RSL.
Backdrop for when Bill Riley and I are on stand up.
Game time.
My boy RSLBOZ has been doing the dirty work with constantly updating pictures on site since day 1 of the stadium groundbreaking up in Salt Lake City, and with only one month left before a Thrusday night kickoff match, things are getting down to the wire.
And to see how far it’s come in such a short amount of time.
I was fortunate enough to be able to throw down my “Herbie Hancock” on the last piece of metal right before the Topping Off Ceremony and I swear it might have been the coldest day of my life.
Real Salt Lake once again is getting it done up on the turf at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Just got back from the Real Salt Lake at Columbus Crew match that ended 3-nil in Columbus’ favor.
After the match I met up with FC Uptown to grab a few beers with the boys (Dante, Holly, Duncs, Carly, Tommy Presthus, etc) at Bar Louie downtown.
Now it’s up in two hours for the cross-country trip back to LA to get back in time for the return leg of the Spanish Super Cup between Valencia at Real Madrid for a noon call time at the FSC studios.
Third time this MLS season that I’ve headed out to my old stomping grounds in C-bus, and Saturday night is the Real Salt Lake at Columbus Crew match.
More pics after the Jump…
Got in around 9pm, headed over to Cabo’s for a couple fish tacos and went straight to bed.
Woke up and hit the gym at 7.30am to get a little work out in before sitting in front of my miniature television watching Argentina v Holland. Production meetings at 9.30am, so I think I’m going to miss the end of the second half.
Real Salt Lake at Houston tonight in a battle for 1st place in the West and then back to bed before a 5.30am flight to get back to Los Angeles for tomorrow afternoon’s Spanish Super Cup (think Spanish Community Shield) between La Liga winner Real Madrid and King’s Cup (Copa del Rey) winner Valencia at 1 pm West Coast.
On the way to Houston for tomorrow nights Real Salt Lake at Houston Dynamo match at Robertson Stadium.
And yes, the Phoenix Airport smells like a bowling alley.
Just got this pic sent over from Branden Steineckert via Nick Rimando.. He just wanted to let everyone know where his true support lies.. Real and The Hooligans..
Showing some love for my hometown team….
