[Deuce]

A typical discussion about tailgate items for a cRapid fan....

Rapidman!
Reminds me of Robert DeNiro's dog in Meet the Fockers.

Coach E is likely to start a bunch of hungry youngsters that are going to run circles around your tired @ss excuse for a team.

Given that you've scored 10 goals less this season than the Rapids, and only 8 goals total on the road, not to mention we're winning the series on total goals 2-1, you might want to rethink your tactic about questioning OUR ability to score.

Oh and the mascot? We've decided he's a big blue margarita, but SLC residents wouldn't recognize him as that anyway. 😉

Oh wait i didn't say that the cRapids could not score a goal...
I was merely pointing out that 10 years of inept soccer playing and a blue guy that looks, as ska pointed out, to have crawled from a toilet bowl on an airplane. Which leads one to believe that he must have slipped in while attempting to join the "mile high club" and since he can't even do that properly... well you know.

The only reason you even made the playoffs is because BOTH expansion teams were put in the west.... One season of mediocre soccer does not erase the previous ten...

So I will amend my original statement to read...
"even cRapids, with enough money and with the lights off could probably score in a brothel... but not likely."

Yeah, I'll second everything that Deuce said.
And by the way, this (Oh and the mascot? We've decided he's a big blue margarita, but SLC residents wouldn't recognize him as that anyway) was pathetic. Come up with something more original than the OLD "Utah and their liquor or lack of liquor knowledge blah, blah, blah, blah, blah". I'm sure a Chivas fan could do better than that.

Ouch, thats gotta hurt, no matter who you are!

GO RSL!

My guess is the lineup will be (drum roll, please):
Countess
Cabrera-Dunseth-Pope-Broome
Cutler
Scarlett-Gregorio
Mathis
Tarley-Watson

Is this the game where Kamler starts at forward position? 🙁

Truth hurts huh? 😉

Seriously though, he's been the big blue margarita for a long time, the SLC add on was just a bonus.

I vote for bringing back Captain Blitzz, or better yet, NO MASCOT!

Any thoughts on whether Trembly will get a start at midfield or come in again to replace Cleetus after he makes his two runs of the game?
