Metgod Out?

Maybe its just a glitch, but it appears every mention of John Metgod has been removed from ColoradoRapids.com.  This includes taking his name off the list of Technical Staff, removing the press release announcing his addition to the staff (seen here at MLSsoccer.com) and the video that they posted of him reviewing the team's SuperDraft results.  Odds are he's not a candidate for the head coaching job (that's still open 16 days before the season starts).

In other news Deshorn Brown (Jamaica) and Martin Chavez (Honduras) were both called up for their National Team friendlies next week.  Brown is heading to join up with the Reggae Boyz while Chavez will head to the Honduras team after Saturday's final Desert Diamond Cup friendly.

In yesterday's 3rd friendly in Tucson the Rapids and Chivas USA played a scoreless draw.  Some good chances for the Rapids but nobody could finish.  The lineups:

Nasco
Edward - Watts - VDC - Klute
Guzman - Hairston
Eloundou - Sanchez - Torres
Buddle

After half:

Nasco
Edward - Watts - VDC - Serna
Guzman - Hairston
Chavez - Powers - Torres
Brown

After almost everyone else was subbed in the 62':

Berner
Sturgis - Moor - Wynne - Serna
Mari - LaBrocca
Chavez - Powers - Torres
Brown

Galindo entered for Torres in the 71st minute.

In their final game the Rapids will face the Revolution on Saturday.
