Monson: Believe it — RSL will win the MLS Cup this season

< Previous Page

Winning the Cup a couple of years ago was a nice surprise; making it to the CONCACAF final, before falling to Monterrey, was memorable; getting to the Western Conference final and losing to L.A. last season was a strong piece of work.

But to really leave a lasting mark, to sign off on a great period of soccer here, with so many of those familiar names, Real is expecting more from themselves. They’re expecting the same thing everyone else is — another Cup. And they confidently believe they’re good enough to get it.

"You don’t find a group of guys like this very often," Borchers said. "We’re a great team. If you want to win, then you want to play on a team like this."

Mark it down. These guys are going to win it all.
