I think we need to start a new thread to really take in what happened on May 29, 2012.

The Stars, sold their game to Real Salt Lake for cold hard cash. They then went to Real Salt Lake and beat said team in front of 17,000+ fans (which, according to thecup.us, is a usopencup record attendance for third round play).

In Djorn We Trust.

Make the banner.

That was unbeleivably awesome. Great time at the Sweety. Great day for the Stars and for all of us.

No offense, but there's no way there was anything remotely approaching 17k people in that stadium at any point during that match. Unless the capacity jumped to like 50k.

This heres a story about Salt Lake and Nessie too,
Two football clubs marching to different tunes,
Salt Lake got scared, paid up, and bought the rights,
didn't think Nessie would put up a fight.

They headed down to, ooh, Rio Tinto
All the boys, Manny, and Carl in a Pinto
Nessie scored thrice, let Salt Lake have one too.
Showed the MLS how to properly get screwed.

Go on, take their money and run,
Go on, take their money and run,
Go on, take their money and run,
Go on, take their money and run.

I don't even know if this works musically, but this match needs to be immortalized in song.

Is it sick watching all of the post game videos from RSL and hearing the interviews? Sounds to me like RSL wasn't very prepared for the best non-MLS team in the league...oh wait, I am sorry, we are better than some of the MLS teams.

We took their money.....

Huge credit goes to Amani Walker for having the #NutsOfAWarrior to get down the pitch on a bad ankle and set up the PK. 'Nuff said
