cRapids vs. RSL

RSL not looking past Rapids match

It should be a good match. Both teams are missing key players defensively. Looks like the rumors about the Rapids resigning Alain Nkong have come true. It doesn't look lik ehe'll be availalbe for the match tomorrow night at all, even as a sub. And Pablo's still questionable afer Mullan took him out a couple weeks ago. It's hard to guess at what Clavijo will do with some players but this is my guess at the lineup that'll be starting. But one nevers knows what he'll be up. If Cooke's hammy is buggin' him too much we'll probably see Gargan start at a position he can actually 1/2-way play, RM. And in Gargan's case that may be the only way that he makes the pitch if Clavijo's given up on trying him out as a right back.

-----------Cannon------------
-Gargan-Petke-Karanka-Denton--
----------Beckerman-- Wasson--------
---Cooke---------------------Jacob----
--------Nico--------Mathis-------

I hope Cooke is healthy enough to play. It'll be fun watching him and Forko matching up.

Lucky me.

I was able to ride on the same plane as RSL out to Denver (as I was connecting to NY for business). It was awesome! Cunningham sat in the row right in front of me, and Talley across the aisle. I persuaded the Denver-based flight crew to wish them luck over the intercom.

Now I only hope I can get the game on TV here tomorrow while in Brooklyn. 🙁

Good work, Aerick.

Now, 10 people in Denver know that they have an MLS team.

For the sake of all thats holy, RSL must get 3 pts out of this. Please?

If RSL can win tonight against the cRapids, they will pull to within 4 pts. of qualifying for the playoffs.

LA is playing Houston tonight. Can Houston keep LA scoreless? LA is equal with RSL on pts. (20 pts.).

LA 0 : 0 Houston Half time.

LA 1 : 0 Houston. Santino Quaranta scores in his debut.

Houston equalized but it was called back.

1-0 RSL at the half. Cunningham scores on a Talley assist. Cunningham blew two other opportunities in the first half.
