Mystery Striker…
by Micah Olson
Could Real Salt Lake’s new offensive powerhouse be Jared Borghetti? He is a striker from Mexico who MAY have been practicing with Real Salt Lake recently. There is a picture (regrettably, of the back of a head) of someone practicing with RSL, wearing number 19 (not currently used by rsl). The site that posted the picture claims that it may be Jared Borgetti.
I have a few questions about this. If someone was able to get a picture at a practice of the back of a head, why not of the front too? And how in the world could they know that this is Borghetti?
If it IS Jared that could be good. He is very experienced, and at one time retired from international play, but has recently been called back for FIFA 2010 qualifying.
After seeing this I may start posting pictures, from behind, of guys walking around Salt Lake City with RSL Jerseys on, and hinting at names that this person could be… But even with as skeptical as I am about this rumor, it has me curious enough to post about it… AND whoever this Mystery striker is, we will probably find out soon.

That is Adam Acosta in the red shoes. PS, Nike would be pissed if Borgetti was wearing Adidas shoes becuase he is sponsored by Nike.

The back of the head sure looks like Adam! But I didn’t think he was even with RSL any more.

He trains with them, but isn’t officially on the team. Adam also played against Saprissa, and I think he actually wore the same number!

Maybe the name of this website should be changed to Myth Busters! Great info.
