Real Salt Lake: Who's laughing now?
Once the laughingstock of Major League Soccer, RSL heads to title game.
Barely three weeks ago, the idea sounded downright laughable. Two weeks ago, it remained all but impossible. Last week? Only then did it start to feel -- what's this? -- plausible.
Now, it's simply undeniable.
Once the bumbling laughingstock of Major League Soccer, Real Salt Lake is suddenly playing for the MLS Cup championship next weekend after a stunning playoff run that even the coaches and players surely couldn't have seen coming -- even though they insisted otherwise in a champagne-soaked locker room following their dramatic shootout victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park on Saturday night.
