New kid on the block from ESPN Soccernet!

Real Salt Lake had built a roster that looked like a chemistry set waiting to be knocked over. Acquiring the enigmatic trio of Clint Mathis, Andy Williams and D.J. Countess seemed equal parts gutsy and foolish, but the expansion team's newest acquisition may help it all come together.

Eddie Pope isn't a rah-rah guy, but he leads by example and should feel more comfortable playing on a team with more veterans around him. Pope might miss some games, but he could be the missing piece that makes RSL a playoff team, assuming John Ellinger can work his magic as a coach players love to play for.

ESPN finally updated its MLS page....
Another source for RSL News... not that we should ever feel the current sources are lacking, of course! :o
