Positives

Well, I got some great news this afternoon. I was accepted into Google's Summer of Code for Drupal. First, I would like to thank you all for the interest shown to me with this site. It boosted me to put a lot of effort into the site, and it was used as a showcase for my application.

With this positive news for me, I thought I would make a post for the positive stats this season for Real Salt Lake. Stats were gathered from MLS Stats.

• Offseason movements: Three of the top 4 ranked players on this site were offseason acquisitions.
• Goal Differential: +1
• Kyle Beckerman is one of 6 players to have multi-goal games.
• So far, we have improved in Goals, Assists, Shots and Shots on Goal in Team Rankings from 2007 to this year.
• Javier Morales leads the league in Corner Kicks (16).
• RSL is tied in 4th place for most cards given. But no one on our team has more than 1 card received. You can figure out if that is a plus or not.
• Got 4 points from the first two home games, haven't done that since our inaugural season. Hopefully, we continue what happened in 2005 by winning the next two games at home.
• On average, Nick Rimando has only faced 4.25 shots per game (2nd least behind Jon Conway, Minimum: 125 minutes). Last year, Rimando faced around 6.78 shots per game (Most in 2007, Minimum: 1000 minutes).

I wish one more positive I could list was 12 points in the first 4 games, but a third of that is ok, I guess. There is probably some more positive stats out there, but I am out of time. Feel free to post your own positive stats below, or negative stats if you like it that way.
