Go Real Salt Lake!

Hey sports fans: I just wanted to get the word out that Real Salt Lake has made it to the Major League Soccer final! If you're saying to yourself, "Salt Lake has a professional soccer team?" (and I know some of you are!), that's okay! Now would be a great time to tune in to see if you're a soccer fan at heart! And, their opponent is the L.A. Galaxy, who have one David Beckham on their team, so everyone will have heard of at least one player on the field.

Really, though, soccer in the U.S. is getting a lot better, and it's only going to get bigger as time goes on. The U.S. National team has qualified for the World Cup, which will take place next summer in South Africa, and MLS is attracting more and more foreign talent to come play in America while more and more U.S. players are playing in the top European leagues as well. Why not give it a try? The big game is next Sunday, Nov. 22nd, at 8:30 EST (6:30 Mountain Time) on ESPN.

Also, for all of you who live in or visit Utah, I would highly recommend going to a game at Real's new stadium in Sandy. Jenn and I went this summer with her siblings and we had a great time (thanks for the tickets Mom and Dad!). Even Jenn liked it! Give it a try...
