Its Time For Mickey Mouse Soccer


Question is, which team is the Mickey Mouse one?  Colorado makes its longest road trip of the year down to Central Florida to face Orlando City tomorrow.  The teams have a combined one win and seven points in ten games, so don't expect to be watching top quality soccer.  The Rapids apparently plan to roll out a few changes, but, we've all heard that before.  Kickoff tomorrow is at 5:30 on Altitude.  Centennial 38's big watch party is at Frolic Brewing in Westminster.

Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford
QUESTIONABLE: D Keegan Rosenberry, M Kellyn Acosta, M Sam Nicholson, F Diego Rubio

Disciplinary Report:
SUSPENDED: D Tommy Smith

Yuck, nothing good there.  Usually questionable means "out" and it almost always means "won't start" which means we're going to see churn in the starting XI regardless of what the plan is.


The backline is all kinds of question marks.  We could see Opare in the middle and Wynne at LB.  We could see Serna on the bench and Vines and Wynne as our outside backs.  Heck, Anderson could get a look (I doubt it).  Midfield positioning is of course up in the air, and we could see Boateng or Blomberg get a start.  I'm pretty sure Kamara and Shinyashiki will be our starting forward though.

Prediction: 2-1 loss, goal by Kamara.  I can't predict a win after last week's shellacking.  With the long road trip and the missing players I don't even see a draw.  Maybe this senior player discussion they had this week kick starts the team but I'm not going to predict it until I see it.
