r/UtahRoyalsFC

Is it just me or did the Royals rely too much on over the top balls to no one rather than patient passing against Bay on Friday night? During that wild game against Portland I was originally frustrated because it felt like they lacked the urgency to get that very early goal back - but then of course our patience & strategy was WELL rewarded with 5 goals. It was fabulous for us to get a goal back *immediately* against Bay after the error in the back, but the second half especially saw so many passes to nowhere. Thoughts?

What is going on with the Royals? This is not the same fire Royals team we saw before the break. Unfortunately the damn world cup break completely killed their momentum. Losing to Denver was a concern. Barely beating a bad Bay FC team AT OUR HOME that we had to rely on a penalty to win just continues that concern. Yes they are scoring goals, but their defense as of late has been questionable as of late. Yes, I know, they are currently in 2nd place in the standings, but that likely will change after the other games are played today. Thoughts? Is anybody else concern as well?

Awesome profile of URFC boss

Sean Walker knows the royals better than anyone - support his work with clicks and reshares and Olsen message to KSL that women’s soccer coverage is valued

Madison is exceptional, on and off the field

Incredible

Amazing that once this team starts getting positive attention with the national media by saying how the Royal are the real deal and how they are competing for the shield that's when they shit their pants. How is it that they can beat Portland 5-1 but lose to a lesser team 2-1 the following week? Never going to catch up to Washington or even Gotham for the shield if they keep choking these games. Winning only 3 out of their last seven is a major concern. This has not been the same team since after the break. Who was it that told me on this sub that the Royals are stronger and are a better team towards the end of the seasons?, because I'm not seeing that since the break. They are losing way too many games now. Come on Royals, don't pull an RSL and screw this up. Got to at least finish in the top 3. ( preferably in the top 2 )

Utah Royals 1, Denver Summit 2 😤
The numbers say we should've walked away with this one (2.09 xG to Denver's 1.01) but soccer doesn't always cooperate. Milazzo's 89th minute finish got us level before a late free kick sealed it for Denver in stoppage time. Heartbreaker.

But real talk: away day in Denver was UNMATCHED. 🏆 Continental Divide Cup secured (we're calling it, tiebreaker and all), a small but LOUD supporters' section, and a huge thank you to Coach Jimmy and the team for stopping to say hi after the match. That's the club we signed up for. 💛

Mina Tanaka was everywhere for us Saturday. No goal, but 5 chances created and a 73% duel win rate. Absolute engine.

Now we regroup. Bay FC comes to Sandy this Friday and we like our chances, even if we said that last week too 😅

THREE games, one wild week. Utah went 2-1 with a road statement, a heartbreaker against the league leaders, and a FRANCHISE record (or 2!) over Portland. Full week recap up on the blog now!
