PBP: Rapids "home" to Houston, tonight, Wed, 9/9 at 7PM

1-1 draw, goal by Kamara. Houston is hot and better than us, but the weather will equalize things a bit, along with being at home. We need to win, but the best we can hope for is a draw.

Normally, we'd have our Houston friends (and STH for Dynamo) up for this game and a respite from Houston's heat. Not this year. Being optimistic with snow Rapids 2-0.

 

I'll be watching on DirecTV. In a different time, might host a small watch party.

Not optimistic about this one. We just barely drew with a weak SJ team, and Houston has been winning (which is hard to believe, given their history, but maybe Tab is really helping them). Predict 1-2 loss where we trail much of the match, get a late goal, but it's not enough.

 

Lineup.

Trusty gets his first start in Burgundy, and Price is on the bench again

 

Have to agree with SccrDon. 2-1 loss, which is kept close because of the cold. Lewis with the goal.

 

Is Price not 100%?

 

Reportedly not

 

Lalas makes a hash out of a long pass toward the corner and has a souvenir

 

LOL Richard "and....not good"

 

Kamara hit the post but probably had a better option if he passed it

 

Kei has been about a combined foot from having a hat trick already

 

2 cautions in 20'. Stupid. Hope it doesn't hurt us

 

A yellow card of his very own.

But he's not special. Lewis has one as well.

 

Lewis keeps trying things that don't work.

Cold feet?

 

Ok, that Namli shot. Wow

 

Oh, for a good first touch in the Houston box!

 

Good, very good

 

*sigh* #ThatsSoRapids
