The Rapids are looking at another must-win game tomorrow. The win last week combined with the other
results took a bit of the pressure off, but the Under-a-Chivas are the worst team in the conference
and if we can't beat them, we don't belong in the playoffs. These teams faced off in the opening
game of the season, where the Rapids got their first ever opening day road win.
Colorado is in NY tomorrow facing the Red Bulls. Its their second trip to NY this year after losing
there in the U.S. Open Cup play-in. After their two 3-0 wins the last two weeks the Rapids are
riding high, but they face a much improved RBNY team who now sport Rafa Marquez and Thierry Henry.
Game time is an early 2pm Denver time, with the game both on KWGN and on Telefutura.
The New York Red Bulls take on the Colorado Rapids at Red Bull Arena today in a battle of teams
looking to solidify their holds on playoff spots (4pm, Telefutura).
The match-up features two of the best forward tandems in Major League Soccer, with Thierry Henry
and Juan Pablo Angel looking to outduel Rapids tandem Conor Casey and Omar Cummings.
Prior to each match, New England Soccer Today will invite a reporter from the other side to
provide insight regarding the Revolution's next opponent.
This week, Colorado Soccer Now writer Shaun Schafer shared his thoughts on the
state of the Colorado Rapids and what the Revs can expect when they travel to take on the Rapids
on Saturday night.
Tomorrow night at the Dick the Jameson's Night tradition continues. Undefeated when the supporter's
groups break out the Irish whiskey, the Rapids look to get one step closer to the playoffs by
defeating the Revs. New England is already looking towards next season, so Colorado is expected to
win this.
Its the first of the two best games of the year, the Rocky Mountain Cup matchups with FaKe SaLt
LaKe. The Rapids head West for the first game to the "wonderful" Salt Lake City metro area. Just as
a reminder, the Cup is awarded based on points, with total goals as the tiebreaker. If the teams
are tied on points and goals the current holders (right now FSL) retain the cup.
The Rapids went to Salt Lake and drew those FaKeRs 1-1. Many tears will be shed over the last
minute equalizer that FSL scored. Instead of a recap I want to address that.
Yeah, it sucks that we had our rivals on the ropes and were about to end their home unbeaten
streak, only to lose 2 points in the final minute.
This week the Rapids play the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday and DC United on Saturday, both at
the Dick. The results against this Union/United combo will go a long way towards Colorado
separating itself from the pack of teams at the bottom of the playoff field. We currently hold a 5
point lead over Kansas City in 9th place with 5 games to play.
