After the sale of Jozy Altidore to Spain, New York Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio has been shopping around the world for a replacement striker. Right now he is mainly targeting three here in the States as the international transfer window closed for MLS clubs last Friday. The three Osorio is looking at right now, [.

The Rapids will have US Mens National Team midfield Pablo Mastroeni back tonight when they take on the Houston Dynamo tonight. Is Pablo healthy and ready to start? The team hasn't said he's not despite him coming off early in the USMNT World Cup Qualifier against Barbados last weekend with, well, what appeared to be a sore butt. Click to continue reading...

Just a quick post with some random thoughts on the Rapids win last night.

Did Clavijo tell Colin Clark to not dream about taking a run at people? It looked like Clarke may have seen some bench time to get the message he needs to learn to better choose when to run with the ball. He didn't appear interested in doing much more than pass last night.

One of the best problems a soccer team can have is having too many good players to field them all. That, and the ability to adapt the line-up to different opponents, is a sign of a good soccer team. The Rapids have both.

The biggest question on my mind as we await the game against Houston (with much anticipation, by the way) is who will be starting.

So, there I am, watching the clock through my (soon-to-be) 10-year-old's birthday party, figuring I can just wait for the archived footage of the Kansas City Wizards v. Colorado Rapids. While they're downstairs watching Little Miss Sunshine, it's about 10:30 p.m. and I'm looking for the video feed.

I think this gets it about right:

Things didn't look so bleak for the Los Angeles Galaxy by the end of the first half. And, yeah, one could argue Omar Cummings picked up a soft penalty kick; as Max Bretos noted in his commentary Cummings popped back to his feet ...

(Dang it! Wrong Stephen Keel! Sorry to be brief, but life is attacking me right now...not much time...)

Looks like the Colorado Rapids ended their pre-season on a high in the lower part of our fair nation: they beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on a goal scored by ...

...hmm, that title isn't quite what I'm going for...and I can't link to some of the statistical stuff cited below because MLSnet.com was gummed up and lame at time of typing.
Today, we get to the failing that doomed the Colorado Rapids's 2007: namely, the ever-sputtering offense. If Toronto FC hadn't suffered eternities of incompetence in front of goal, the Rapids 29 goals scored would have set the all-time low-scoring mark for the 30-game era in Major League Soccer (MLS).

Well the playoff picture is still all up in the air. We know that Kansas City, Chicago and LA all have control of their own destiny. Columbus and Colorado are both hoping to squeeze into the playoffs, but they need some help to get there.

The Colorado Rapids played the west leading Chivas USA. The Rapids needed a victory and the game went into the 90th minute a 1-1 tie.

I couldn't have been more wrong on my Thursday Prediction just hours ago.

First of all as Mr. Fish pointed out, tonite's game was actually not on ESPN2 for some reason, so I didn't see the game. Thanks for the correction Mr. Fish.

Secondly, the Rapids put a whooping on the Revolution. Who (besides Rapids fans) would have ever guessed that?
