Actually according to MLSnet every playoff game except the 2nd KC-SJ game is currently scheduled to be on FSW or ESPN2. Let's not give the Galaxy any more credit than they deserve
Revised -------------Cannon------------- Crawford - Borchers - Kotchtau - Lewis --------------Pablo--------------- de la Torre --- Cila -------- Henderson ------Delgado ----- Pedro? -------- The RM News listed Chung and Spencer as doubtful Pedro is only questionable... (edit: Sorry, that was the DPost article on the Bigsoccer homepage, not the RM News.)
IMO - we need Pablo to keep us organized in the back. Hopefully we'll see DLT in the midfield, not Beckermann. Cannon Kotch Borchers Pablo Lewis Henderson DLT Cila Crawford Delgado & Pedro
I would start Rey in favor of Pedro. Not that I think Rey is necessarily better, but if Pedro is still nursing an injury he probably wouldn't go 90 anyway. Bring his fresh legs in for the 2nd half after we have (hopefully) worn down LA some. I'd rather have his speed in late than early, especially in this one. Otherwise this sounds like our best 11. Respective of injuries of course...

You obviously don't watch practice either.. The players don't like his play right now either...Also read the quotes after last game... whether you like hankinson or not the three amigos did played well and delgado also...You don't seemed to really look at the whole game.. just bias to your favorites. Just because Crawford had the luxury to go all over because the other team had no defense up the side..and Henderson was all over because that is the way he plays runs around.. does not mean those two were the only two that cared about the game!!!!!
That is a great sign - Someone who access to the capability should print up some of these to hang and display Friday night.
Could be frustrating night. "Sampson hinted that the later Friday's game goes without a goal, he might consider dropping more players behind the ball to preserve a tie and return home to win the series." http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/news/mls_...21&content_id=17361&vkey=mlscup2004&fext=.jsp Considering the Rapids inability to score, a 0-0 game is looking very possible. Worse would be if the Rapids get caught pushing to hard for a goal and surrender one on a counter.
1-nil to the Galaxy...1-nil to the Galaxy...lalala...just returning the favor for those of you who have been trolling on our section...
We'd better come out firing... like we've never needed a goal more in our entire lives... I can think of nothing worse than having to try and pull one back or get one late, we are the WORST at that... Look at our options for a late goal, and tell me where it's going to come from... Hankinson NEVER subs wisely (save twice in his entire stay in Colorado)... SHOOT, SHOOT AGAIN, and when your legs are tired... SHOOT SOME MORE... (not the glorious post I'd envisioned for my milestone 1000th... I guess I'll have to do what I was planning as a retroactive celebration of my 1000th post)
We need to get out there early and put a few goals up on the LAoosers. We can't go out to LA with a tie or a deficit. Here we go Rapids!
More than ever, it is critical that we score the early goal...force the Galaxy to open up their game and maybe make a mistake so that we can get a second goal, and hope that Cannon continues to be the brick wall that he's been for almost the entire season. If we end up with a tie at home, it is almost certain that we will lose the series given our insane inability to score goals.
For the home game I think it's going to be a case of "how joe goes, so does the rapids". I think it's going to be 1-0 rapids. Feeling a big blunder by hartman.
Hillarious stuff on Rapidfan about this game....... I done got me on the internets and found out about about the evil Galaxians who probably all have WMD. The good Rapids will surely take them out. Bring 'em on.
Wow. Looks like there are 2 people at the stadium. I can hear the players on the field, but not much else.
