Dallas' game with San Jose on Wednesday could help decide the Rapids' playoff hopes. If the
streaking Hoops conjure up another win against the also improving San Jose Earthquakes, they will
still be in the playoff hunt. If they lose, they will be eliminated from the postseason, presumably
making Colorado's trip to Texas October 17 a little easier for the Burgundy and Blue.

That bit about Dallas not having a chance at the playoffs? Over. 3 more wins and they've got a
shot. More than a shot. And with those games being San Jose, Colorado, and us, yeah, it's
doable.
This is getting *far* too interesting for my liking.

So which excuse do we go to this time? Because, for the life of me, I can't figure one out. Sure,
you could play the "fixture congestion" card, but San Jose played midweek as well, and they did it
at altitude followed by a cross-country jaunt. Add...

Conor Casey stood up tall again tonight as he netted an injury time penalty to
allow the
Colorado Rapids to pick up another point. A 67th minute penalty from
Chris Wondolowski gave the San Jose Earthquakes the lead before Casey's late penalty.
The Rapids could simply not break down a stubborn San Jose defense for most of the game and failed
to create many chances on the night.

Same opponents, different day. The
Colorado Rapids face another vital game tonight
against the San Jose Earthquakes, a team they played in California only this past Friday, somehow
escaping with a crucial point thanks to Conor Casey's 95th minute penalty.
That vital point after such a tough game will no doubt boost the Rapids as they seek to secure
three points against the basement team in the Western Conference and reach the long-discussed 40
point watershed.

Well, that was pretty scrappy and crappy. But the Rapids escaped with a point.
Conor
Casey continued his amazing run of goalscoring with a penalty kick in almost the fifth
minute of injury time to get the equalizer after San Jose had scored one of the softer goals the
Rapids have conceded this season in the 8th minute.

The
Colorado Rapids traveled to California yesterday to prepare for tonight's game
against San Jose before, bizarrely, playing the same team again next Wednesday at DSG Park. What an
important game tonight's game is. After losing at Toronto to record their fourth straight away
defeat, the Rapids know that a point tonight against a struggling team will be the least they can
come away with before, hopefully, picking up three points at home next week.

Con una actuación redonda y hasta cierto punto sorprendente, el Tri del Vasco Aguirre dió una
exhibición de orden táctico y contundencia ofensiva.
En la cancha sintética del Estadio Saprissa donde poco puede lucir el futbol, jugadores como
Giovani Dos Santos, Cuauhtemoc Blanco y Efraín Juarez demostraron como se debe jugar cuando se
porta la playera verde, es decir dando un juego superior, marcando la diferencia con su calidad y
entrega.

Christian Gomez' two early goals was not enough as D.C. United once again gives up a lead and had

Se salvó Real Salt Lake al final del partido.
Anotó un golazo -según mi humilde opinión- uno de los mejores jugadores de la liga: Arturo
Alvarez.
Espíndola -delantero del Salt Lake- se mueve muy bien. Me parece un jugador interesante, para
tener en cuenta. Claro que no puede ser tan estúpido como para hacerse explusar de esa manera (ver
el video-resumen).

After taking a third-string goalkeeper with the 21st overall pick, D.C. United finally got
around to realizing they might need a defender. So they chose Lyle Adams out of Wake Forest. Here's
what Buzz, who ranked him the third best defender available, had to say about him.
Really tall and lanky outside right runner out of the back.

Who will actually get out of their tight & temporary stadium first: San Jose and it's incredible,

San Jose Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop is extremely concerned how his team responded this
weekend when they fell a goal behind against Chivas USA. Speaking to reporters after the game
Yallop said: "When they scored, we just seemed to crumble again. Our confidence is real low, which
is alarming because you'd think with the senior guys we have we wouldn't do that.

3rd Degree has been able to confirm with our sources that Aaron Pitchkolan is going to be traded to
San Jose to make room on the FC Dallas roster for Kyle Davies. Pitchkolan isn't a surprise trade
since he had seen little time with the first team this spring.

With Brian Ching off with the U.S. national team and Kei Kamara still on suspension stemming from

were enough for San [.

The San Jose Earthquakes returned to MLS last season and played pretty poorly. They had
taken a two year "hiatus" during which their former players won back to back titles
in Houston. While that fact would royally piss me off if I were a Quakes fan, they still have some
good memories of the trophies they [.

This may be a bit convoluted, so stay with me if you can. While I was at FCD training this morning,
SBI said FC Dallas was about to deal Dax McCarty to San Jose. At the time I hadn't heard about it,
so as I mentioned here, I asked FCD Head Coach Schellas Hyndman about McCarty in a general way and
the gaffer didn't mention any trade.

Recap: Any time your team is on the bottom of the league table (tied with the Galaxy), it's bad.
But, SJE fans know there is a learning curve in MLS, and they will look to catch up to their
competitors in 2009. Huckerby's addition helped a bundle and they made a late run, but it [...]
