Ilijah Paul isn’t your usual homegrown. Technically, he’s not a Homegrown, at all. Sure, the Real Salt Lake rookie left his home to play for the RSL Academy at age 16. But Paul, who also played for Valparaiso United, Barca Academy and Phoenix Academy in Arizona, never spent 12 consecutive months with the academy now based in Herriman before his 18th birthday. So the 6-foot, 185-pound center forwar...

After 18 years on the air, Real Salt Lake's local broadcast for over-the-air television and streaming in Utah has gone dark as Major League Soccer shifts all local television and streaming rights to Apple in a new, 10-year deal beginning in 2023.  That means the end of an era for play-by-play voice David "DJ" James and revered color analyst Brian "Dunny" Dunseth. The two established broadcast...

It’s been quite the weekend for Real Salt Lake supporters, who saw their first team give up a late lead with a 75th-minute equalizer to Toronto FC in a disappointing 2-2 draw in front of a sold-out Rio Tinto Stadium. It’s the third-straight match without a win for RSL, which exploded out of the gates. But is the magic running out on a team that currently sits tied for second in Major League Soccer...

Real Monarchs took a 2-2 draw from Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 in the club's first home match in MLS NEXT Pro player, Saturday, April 2, 2022 at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, Utah.  But the Whitecaps took the extra point in the form of a 3-1 win in the ensuing penalty shootout, an interesting quirk in the new league's rules and regulations.

The 20-year-old goalkeeper helped Real Salt Lake to a 2-1 win at Minnesota United FC in their season opener — but should we be talking more about a Minnesota side that is 0-2 with 6 goals-against and just 1 goal-for, instead of coach Adrian Heath's exception to Ochoa kicking a ball into...
