FORT LAUDERDALE ( Reuters ) - With long dreadlocks, Kyle Beckerman has always stood out in Major League Soccer (MLS) but now his cultured midfield play is gaining belated recognition with the U.S. national team. Beckerman, who plays in MLS for Real Salt Lake , has been selected as an All-Star for the past three seasons and was key to his club's 2009 championship - but his appearances for the U.S. national team were surprisingly limited under previous coach Bob Bradley .

Kyle Beckerman, Jamison Olave and Alvaro Saborio each scored to lead Real Salt Lake to a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.

Real Salt Lake came on the MLS scene in 2005 with much fanfare, but their first three seasons were marred by poor results. In 2008, they finally qualified for the playoffs and they rode a wave of good play all the way to the semifinals before falling to NYRB. They have still never won a major trophy, but I don’t think it will be too much longer now.
As they have only been around for four years, they do not have many legends. Freddy Adu plied his trade in Utah before moving across the ocean...Read Full Story
