    I know there's a lot of angst among those that post regularly - but no game thread earlier?

    Pressures off for this one. Hope the Rapids can take advantage of the opportunities they generate.

    I'm predicting that there will be a bit of a squad rotation tonight.

    Perhaps Shinyashiki and Price will start? And I would bet that Kamara and perhaps Rubio don't.

    Will we see Trusty in the starting XI/

    How many are still following? I was already following sports a lot less with the various interruptions to the schedule. But at least I can watch the Nuggets and Rockies on TV.

    I was going to look into a VPN for the Rapids but so far haven't gone to the trouble as I've not been around much lately during game times. You make time for a trip to the stadium, but for a maybe stream? Eh.

    BTW, Arsenal's change kits make them look like Chelsea. I guess the way they've been playing in recent years, I could see a marketing guy suggest that, but that's gotta be demoralizing for their fans.

    2-1 loss, goal by Namli. Its really hard to expect anything but a loss in this game, given how badly they beat us a couple of weeks ago and our long track record of failure in Sandy. Even a 1-1 draw seems crazily optimistic right now. its been a long time since I predicted a loss in an RMC game, but I can't see any other result based on what we know.

    Yeah, no altitude no watch, and no stadium either, so starting to fade on season. But here I am, so maybe I'm full of it. Maybe tomorrow I finally drop comcast.

    There's a whole lot of salary and acquisition money tied up in players not in the starting XI...

    In case anyone is wondering and dreaming we still have a shot at the Rocky Mountain Cup, we have to win by 4 goals tonight (any 4 goal win) to win the Cup.

    We've never scored more than 3 against FSL and never beaten them by more than 2.

    2-0 loss. The Shin-Rubio tandem doesn’t scare anyone unless they sell a dive PK.

    Boy, that was pessimistic even for my standards. And I do understand that Kei-Lewis played Wednesday so it makes sense.

    Came off the bench on Wednesday, so no, it doesn't make much sense.

    Are the Rapids imitating Seattle or San Jose tonight?

    Rubio, header off a corner - ball had hit the ground, bounced up and he put it in.

    It's alternate universe. I can actually watch and the Rapids are beating FSL 2-0. I bet Covid vaccination will be released.

    Who's the stupid KSL commentator "Inconceivable....."

    I don't think that means what he thinks it means....
