    Rapids at the quakes today at 8pm out time. Hard to remember this amongst World Cup qualifying and the start of college football.

    With Seattle off this weekend and KC face-planting against LAFC last night, with a win the Rapids will move to second on points and within 1 point of Seattle, and will take the lead on PPG.

    1-0 win, goal by Barrios. The Rapids are a better team than San Jose, on both offense and defense. The big equalizer though is missing Acosta and Kaye making our midfield notably weaker. Despite that I think the Rapids can get the edge on the Earthquakes with their depth and pull out 3 points, but I wouldn't be shocked by a draw.

    Without Kaye and Acosta it seems like Mezquida may start as he has a good amount of MLS experience. And Bassett will most likely start in a #10 role.

    Fraser will most likely go with 5-4-1 ish formation. Hopefully they are aggressive rather than passive.

    Perhaps the most important aspect of facing the E-Quakes is how the Rapids deal their borderline dangerous physical tactics to intimidate the opposition. This seems to be the way San Jose tries to level the playing field.

    Another one of those “I have no idea what will happen” games. So 2-1 Rapids, with Lewis and Bassett scoring.

    I believe the English commentary will be on Twitter if you don’t have this in your cable package

    Yowza - Lalas with a caution already and head injury it appears, quite the collision. Drew Moor in for the Rapids, and Quakes down a player as well.

    And the sound levels for the commentators are terribly mis-matched on the Twitter feed of the Quakes stream.

    I'll be impressed now if Drew can keep his season long streaks of only playing in wins and never giving up a goal when he's on the field alive

    Not much recovery speed in the back 4. Dunno how fast Esteves is yet. Hope we can keep the ball in front of us.

    Since those early subs were almost certainly concussion related, the Rapids can now sub in their whole bench tonight if they want to, since there are only 5 players left on it.

    Rubio's ill-timed injuries this season are getting really old

    Well, I've actually heard Galvan mentioned a few times this evening. That's better than the KC match.

    That extends to the D-mids too (Warner). This might be our slowest XI, actually. Though I think Esteves has some pace.

    We seem to be pretty comfortably dominating much of the possession. We definitely appear to be the better, more in control team. But very little danger in the final 3rd. Nothing very close in the first half for either side. Galvan definitely our most active/dangerous player that half. Most of the game flowing through him and Keegan down the right side.

    Esteves looks solid so far in his first MLS start. His left foot isn’t as cultured as Vines’s was but it could take some time before he’s whipping in good crosses.

    His timing, pace (which I gotta say, is deceptively fast in close spaces), and strength all look good through 45’.

    Not looking forward to Cowell vs Moor / Wilson as the game goes on. His bending runs and speed are a tough ask for those two. Hopefully he tires himself out soon and won’t be able to make those streaking runs all night.

    Damn. Def not making the case for being showcased on national TV again in coming weeks (with exception of that one… what is it, MNUFC/Rapids in a few weeks)

    This is one ugly soccer game. I don’t remember one corner kick.
