A couple quick tidbits from RSL land:
-From the "It's about damn time" Department, AYL is reporting that RSL 'defender'/revolving door Jack Stewart has been released. He will be missed...oh wait, no he won't. Regardless, I wish him luck in the future.
-In other news, Bob Bradley has released the roster for the 21-man training camp for the upcoming USA Men's National team game in Switzerland. Not so surprising was the inclusion of "goalkeeper of the future" Chris Seitz, but what was a pleasant surprise was the additional call up of RSL super-rookie Robbie Findley. I like this call up a lot, I hope he shows well. With the right combination of hard work, luck, and (gulp) coaching, I think he could be a really good player one day. Congrats to both players on the call, it is well deserved. Go here for the full roster.
Ye Olde Ben Cup
The Ben Cup is a yearly rivalry between MLS foes Real Salt Lake and DC United. It was started in 2006 by two friends, both named Ben (obviously). The winner is decided based on the results of non-exhibition/friendly matches between the two teams. In the case of a tie, goal differential is used. If goal differential is also tied, then away goals are used as a second tiebreaker. If that is also even then the Ben Cup is considered a tie for that season and the previous year's winner retains the Cup.
