Sigh... #rsl has had some tough losses this year, but tonight's truly feels like it was undeserved. An elbow above the shoulder should be a red card every time, incidental or not. Thought the penalty call was a bit weak as well when several fouls that could have been 2nd yellows didn't get shown

One of the few positives for the #USMNT from their recent camp was the confirmation that Diego Luna should be a national team regular. He's showing that again for Real Salt Lake against LA Galaxy today.

Watching sports as a fan made me realize something:

Sports media is broken

Fans are angry. Gambling is inescapable. Blackouts everywhere.

The joy is gone. Trust is at an all-time low. And storytelling? It’s disappearing.

Here’s how we got here:

For the #USMNT, Sunday’s match against Canada represents a pivotal gut check a year before this generation's legacy will be cemented at a World Cup on home soil.

“We need to show character.”

USMNT has plenty to prove on Sunday against Canada. 'It's about how you bounce back'

Diego Luna has become the type of No. 10 RSL fans (and #USMNT fans) have been dreaming of.

I can't wait to watch him in the Nations League.

Extremely small sample size caveat, but this is an interesting look at how teams are performing with and without the ball through the first four matches of the MLS season.
