Real played Monterey, Mexico's team in the CONCACAF Championships and the final game was held at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy. This is the first time a MLS team has made it this far in the CONCACAF league. My parents and I were supposed to leave for Southern California that day but I begged and begged to stay and go to the game and drive through the night! I just couldn't miss this huge opportunity!! We got to the game early and with 15 minutes before game time the stadium was PACKED!! The energy was unreal!! Streamers were flying everywhere and they were wrapped in the nets and the stadium workers were actually rolling the piles of streamers off the field! It was awesome!! The one thing that was missing during the whole game was RSL's captain, Kyle Beckerman, because of yellow card violations throughout the playoff and finals. It was heartbreaking that he couldn't be there after all the hard work he has done. He is really part of the heart of the team. After a hard played game, Real lost and it was seriously so sad. I was so proud of the guys though and the hard work they put into these league games. They really showed that we have a lot of potential! Go RSL!
