All The Young Punks

The final song on the Clash's second album

Colorado has found its way to San Jose for tomorrow nights match with the Earthquakes.  Really at this point the main thing the Rapids are playing for are the career opportunities of the young players.  With some luck they'll rock the casbah in California tomorrow but a win isn't really going to get them any closer to the playoffs.  Kickoff is a late (for us) 8pm on Altitude.

Injury Report:

OUT: D Kortne Ford; D Deklan Wynne

QUESTIONABLE: F Kei Kamara

Availability Report:

UNAVAILABLE: Sebastian Anderson - U.S. U-17s

Kamara was a late scratch last week with a back injury that seems to have continued.  Howard had to leave last week's game with an injury but is apparently good to go this week.

We could see Rubio out wide and Bassett underneath if Nicholson isn't ready to go or if Casey wants to play more of the young punks.  Otherwise this seems to be the obvious lineup.

Prediction: 2-1 loss, goal by Shinyashiki.  The team feels a little out of sorts right now, I'm not sure if I can put my finger on why.  I think the injuries and absences over the last month has caused them to lose their rhythm.  I don't see them getting it back this week with Kei unlikely to play.
