Real Salt Lake Fans Adjust To Life Without Javier Morales - RSL Soapbox

There is no obvious replacement for Real Salt Lake midfielder Javier Morales, leaving Real Salt Lake fans to pin at least some of their MLS Cup hopes on his 2011 return. RSL Soapbox, SB Nation's Real Salt Lake blog, puts those hopes into three categories, with No. 3 probably making the most sense:

3. Fans should want Javi back against Colorado as well, but not get overly optimistic.

We too should want Javi back as soon as possible. However, we are also susceptible to Charlie Davies Syndrome (CDS). CDS developed when, after his horrendous accident, Charlie targeted the World Cup as a return date to soccer. His tweets gave him (and the more optimistic USMNT supporters) hope that all would be well for the World Cup and he would put the country on his back, single-handedly defeat Mother England and lead the Stars and Stripes to glory and the World Cup title. For those of you who were in a coma last June, that didn’t happen.
