The season is over so we have one thing to play for and it continues tomorrow, the Rocky Mountain Cup. FSL won the first game earlier this year in Colorado 2-1. The third game will be at the Dick on October so this is the only visit to Utah this year. FSL wins the Cup with a win tomorrow. With a draw the Rapids will have to win the final game by 2 or more. With a win by the Rapids tomorrow they'll still have to win the final game, but if they win by 2 or more tomorrow they'll claim the Cup with a draw in the final game. Its a late 8pm start tomorrow night on Altitude and about 150 Rapids fans will be in Sandy to support the burgundy boys.
Colorado will still be missing MacMath and Burling will be questionable but everyone else is available. FSL has 4 players out, 3 questionable. and Kyle Beckerman is suspended for yellow card accumulation. The Rapids rested the big guns on Wednesday for this one so I expect to see the likes of Sjoberg, Gashi, Hairston, Doyle, and hopefully Aigner, in the lineup tomorrow.
Prediction: 2-1 win, goals by Gashi and Badji. Yes I'm being unreasonably optimistic with this prediction, I figure this is the last chance this season to do so and I'm taking it. If there's any pride left in this team we'll see it tomorrow. If we don't it will just be 9 long games to suffer through until the end of the year.
