Imagine the array of emotions for Ryan Johnson on Friday night. The San Jose Earthquakes striker
scored his team's only goal in the eighth minute of a 1-1 tie against the Colorado Rapids. Then the
24-year-old committed the foul deep into extra time that produced a penalty kick for Colorado and
the Rapids' only goal.
We're coming around the final turn of the season, 75% complete. Time for a final mid-season
review.
Goalkeeping: Things haven't changed much in goal from the midway point. Pickens has been solid but
not spectacular, Burpo's a capable backup, and Ceus took the Charlotte Eagles to the USL-2
championship before losing in the final.
Last week the Rapids faced Toronto. This week the Rapids face Toronto. Next week the Rapids will
face San Jose, the week after the Rapids will face San Jose. If this seems familiar its because the
USOC games earlier in the season had us play LA back-to-back, then Seattle back-to-back. This time
the Rapids are in the Great White North to try to keep their roll going.
After the draw last Friday against San Jose the Rapids get right back at it tomorrow
night...against San Jose. The Earthquakes are in town for the second half of the home-and-home
series. This is the 'game in hand' the Rapids have been holding for most of the season, so a win
here would be huge, while a loss would leave us in right in the middle of the playoff battle we've
been trying to avoid.
