It’s been a good year for shooting soccer in Salt Lake. World Cup Qualifier, MLS All-Star game, MLS Playoffs, and now the icing on the cake, Real Salt Lake’s Championship win over Beckham, Donovan, and the LA Galaxy.

That’s Real Salt Lake midfielder Andy Williams above. I just don’t get to shoot enough soccer. Great playoff game Saturday, Salt Lake vs. Columbus. Real scores in the final minutes to win 1-0. Very cool.

Yeah, I love ball heads. Especially headless ones on Halloween.

This was a great save by Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando. No ball in the frame. He knocked it out so quick. The frame with the ball wasn’t as beautiful as this one, so ball go bye.

Fabian Espindola— as Rick Egan would say— takes a tumble.

Robbie Findley scored a late goal for the win. It was a great goal, but it just wasn’t a great photo, so I went with this one showing the fan reaction to Findley.

After the game I tracked Findley and got this moment. He’s signaling to his entourage in the stands.
