Its off to LA-LA land tomorrow as Colorado tries to avoid a couple of ignoble records. A loss would be a team-record ninth in a row, while a draw (or loss) would be a league-record 12 games to start the season without a win. By the way, the league record losing streak (post-Shootout) is 10, owned by the 2005 FSL squad. The good news is that the Rapids won't have to face Zlatan, who was suspended yesterday for two games due to his neck choke of NYCFC's keeper last week. The bad news is that the Rapids won't have Diego Rubio again, as the DisCo extended his suspension for his punch in the Vancouver match for an extra game (a joke considering right before that punch they let Roldan completely off the hook for contact to the face). Kickoff on Sunday is at 6pm on Altitude with Fleming and Balboa.
Injury Report:
OUT: D Kortne Ford
QUESTIONABLE: D Sam Vines
Disciplinary Report:
SUSPENDED: F Diego Rubio
Sam Vines picked up an ankle roll just before the last match, which explains the disastrous Seb Anderson, LB experience last week. Lets hope we don't see a repeat of that tomorrow.
I think we'll likely see the same lineup as last week, except putting Serna in for Anderson. Maybe Casey goes with the second half plan from last week where Rosenberry goes to LB and Anderson stays at his natural RB, but I think he'll go with the Dillon's greater experience.
Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Kamara. 11 of LA's 18 goals this season have gone through Ibra. No Zlatan, no party. That said I'm not yet ready to predict a win for the good guys. So a goal a piece and we break our losing streak but we set the record for longest start of a season without a win.
