A brace, and Morgan Guilavogui takes the afternoon — 8.46
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Morgan Guilavogui provided it, and the 8.46 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Toronto FC come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Real Salt Lake did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Deadline passes with 16 signed and 0 gone
That is the business done at Real Salt Lake until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Real Salt Lake bid $650.0K for Nelson Quiñones
The offer went to Houston Dynamo this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Philip Quinton signs for Sporting Kansas City while still at Real Salt Lake
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Philip Quinton has agreed terms with Sporting Kansas City for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Home is on Dominik Marczuk's mind
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Real Salt Lake are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Tempers go at Real Salt Lake
Pablo Ruiz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
The terraces10 Aug 2026
The crowd has taken to Diego Luna
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
