The Rapids were shutout in Mexico on Wednesday night, now waiting for Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League results to see if they advance in the competition. Aaron Galindo opened the scoring in the 55th minute and it was 2-0 Santos when Jesus Escoboza scored in the 67th. The Rapids are in the unenviable situation of needing a draw from the Metapan - Real Espana game to move on as Group B runners-up.

These last two days of CONCACAF Champions League group matches have not been kind to American MLS teams.

The Colorado Rapids, despite deploying front-line players in a clear effort to win, became the third U.S. club in two days to lose its finale of group play after Wednesday night's 2-0 loss to Santos Laguna in Torreon, Mexico.

Today on the KC Star's website, Robb Heineman was involved in a chat and gave out plenty of little bits of information regarding the team. No real earth shattering information, but certainly some interesting information. With the Star running the Q&A, it was a chance for some fans to try and get some questions in that might be screened if the team had done the Q&A.

Today is transfer deadline day for MLS' "primary" window, and as expected, Sporting Kansas City made a move. It may not have been the exciting, potentially surprising move that some people thought, but it was a long expected move and definitely fills a big need on the team. Today Kansas City officially signed Aurelien Collin to help shore up the back line.

Posted a little bit ago on Twitter was this comment from Raza Deportiva. For those that don't read Spanish, or don't want to pull up a translator, it basically says that Sporting KC is going to pay a $2 million transfer fee for Colombian holding midielder, Diego Chara. I've been unable to find anything other than that Tweet that links him with the SKC Wizards, but I did find this article that says that Chara has been sold to MLS for $2 million.

In the past day or so there's been some interesting news on some potential players for KC that has come out. The biggest bit of news came from Robb Heineman last night on Twitter where he stated that the team had come to a verbal agreement with a defender/defensive midfielder. Certainly a good sign after the performance late in the game in Vancouver.
