Unfinished Business

April 27th, 2011.

A day that every RSL fan will remember as such a devastating night after so much promise.

A night that, in hindsight, has defined this team ever since.

A night that saw RSL come inches away from becoming the first MLS team to win CONCACAF Champions League.

A night that RSL looks to now avenge.

As RSL prepares to begin their new Champions League campaign, the unsavory taste left in our collective mouths has risen again. Every time I think of the words “Champions League” all I can think of is that bald bastard Suazo finishing in the north end of the RioT.

It’s painful, but it’s useful.

This tournament could be what RSL has needed this season. We’ve seen the guys play well, but we’ve never really seen that bite or emotion from the whole squad. This tournament, though, will bring that out of you. Whether you like it or not.

Remember this?

These games get you pumped. These games get your blood flowing. These games are a playoff match each and every night.

Tonight’s match is a beginning of what could very easily be RSL’s “turn around” this season. These guys can finally get that horrendous night out of their minds from over a year ago. They can finally prove that what they did was not a fluke, but is a tradition this team will embark on each and every year.

Starting tonight, we begin that unfinished business

FORZA RSL!
Cheers,

15 to 32
