If you're a Real Salt Lake fan, you sure do! Total underdogs with an under .500 regular season. Just barely squeaking into the playoffs in last place. Knocking off 1st place Columbus in round one of the playoffs. Beating Chicago in penalty kicks to advance to the finals ... and then beating Landon Donovan and David Beckham (and the rest of the L.A. Galaxy) to take the MLS Cup with a final score 1-1 and a win 5-4 on penalty kicks. Sure, it sucks to win on penalty kicks, but it's sure better than losing on penalty kicks - and the Salt Lake goalie, Nick Rimando, was just awesome.
Good job, RSL! Bring that trophy on home!

What a game! We were even able to stay awake watching on the East Coast. Poor Landon Donovan, missing his PK!
