Meanwhile there's some news about player availability. Koz continues his bad month by getting shingles (and I may have to change my player of the game against Chivas if he played through that!) and Jamie Smith has migraines. Omar Cummings is still in Jamaica, but a airplane snafu kept Sanna Nyassi from joining the Gambian National Team and he'll be available tomorrow night.
The Rapids have 4 games in the two weeks starting tomorrow. Meanwhile Chicago has two, separated by 10 days. so I fully expect the Fire to field their regular starting XI while Colorado puts out a full set of reserves. While I would love to see the Rapids take a stronger lineup to Chicago I can understand that the combination of fixtures, injuries, and international call-ups makes that difficult.
I'm not going to make a prediction on this game, as its difficult without knowing for sure what lineups to expect. My gut is saying the Rapids play well but end up losing though.
