    Rapids @ Vancouver Whitecaps, at The White Palace in BC, 8PM Saturday night, on Altitude.

    They're in first, we're in last. Prediction( if you can be bothered)? Games you are looking forward to this weekend.

    I'm looking forward to Deportivo - Real Madrid. I love watching expensive teams struggle, or small clubs shoot above their position. I watched the 2nd half of Real Madrid midweek loss to Real Betis even though I knew the score! In MLS, I'd watch the Toronto - New England if it was on.

    Going to get soaked at CU-UW tomorrow night instead of watching the wettest fixture in MLS (Whitecaps-Rapids, both water features)

    Seems like that should have been posted by "Soaker888"?

    Didn't realize Whitecaps are first in the West. They didn't look like anything special in the previous meetings with Rapids.

    That's a common effect of playing in a game with the Rapids.

    I'll be there. Wear a Rapids lapel pin and I'll know to throw a beer at you.

    Odds are I'll be wearing my Kappa Rapids rain jacket with the classic wave logo on the back :D But you'll have to come into the away section in the NW corner to find me.

    We're talking about being at the CU football game in Boulder tomorrow night, not being in BC for the Rapids game.

    I'll be watching Ghostland Observatory at the Mish instead. A wise person once told me, "Don't eat the mushrooms in the porta-potty at Mishawaka." I will try my darnedest not to. I am not going to watch the replay on this but I will read this thread.

    3-0 Caps.

    How is Doyle still out on concussion protocol? It's been a couple weeks now.

    Really? Do we need to go back to the example of Pablo's last season? Or the amount of time Powers missed?

    At this point I think there's a very good chance we've seen Doyle's last minutes as a Rapids player.

    PRO's assignments:

    REF: JOSE CARLOS RIVERO
    AR1: Eric Boria
    AR2: Felisha Mariscal
    4TH: Alejandro Mariscal
    VAR: Dave Gantar

    . . . and the all-anagram version:

    REF: COOL JIVE ASS ERROR
    AR1: Icier Boar
    AR2: Ha! If Rascal, Smile
    4TH: Maned Jailor Rascal
    VAR: A Raved Gnat

    (Despite the ribbing with the anagrams, this is one of my favorite groups of PRO refs. The brother-and-sister Mariscals are solid and Rivero is one of my favorite center refs.)

    3-1 Vancouver. I base that on nothing.

    Why am I watching this? Why do I hate myself?



    Boateng on the bench again. Does he have a knock or does this mean the current staff thinks he's a mistake?

    Starting Watts in MF and Hairson, Saeid, and Gatt as the Attacking Midfielders is not conducive to playing attacking soccer or scoring goals. It's saying that we'll hope to steal a goal somewhere and finish 1-0 or 1-1.

    Very disappointing.

    Wooden Spoon update:

    Show Spoiler
    And then there were two.

    Minnesota United 4, FC Dallas 1. Minnesota now has 32 points.
    DC United 4, San Jose Earthquakes 0. DC United now has 31 points.

    Historically, 26.00 points is the average for the Spoon winner and 30.83 points is the average for the Spoon runner-up. Based on history, Minnesota United and DC United are likely out of the hunt.

    With those two results, the Colorado Rapids (26 points going into tonight on 28 matches) and Los Angeles Galaxy (27 points on 29 matches in advance of their game) are the last two strong contenders for the Spoon.

    Wait, Gashi is not even on the bench. What's wrong with him?
