Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis is apparently pleased with is team's loss at the weekend to the Seattle Sounders. Speaking after the game Kreis said: "The first game comes with emotions -- with it being a first game and with a fantastic crowd. They're a very good team on the break. They're very good on the counter, which showed with the goals they scored.

"I'm positive with a 2-0 loss at Seattle. If we had scored just one of those chances, it would have been a different game.

"We were really inches and feet away from a lot of good things," Kreis said. "We were off on our passing. We couldn't get into a rhythm. When you miss passes like that, it's a problem."
