Quick Turnaround For Colorado


After the delays in Minnesota with the Open Cup match there's a 48 hour turn around before we hit the field against LAFC tomorrow.  An unfortunate combination of a road game last weekend, the delay due to the weather in Minnesota, and a nationally televised game on Univision means there were no good options for the Rapids other than to just push through.  We'll do the best we can with the kickoff at 1:30 tomorrow (more like 1:50 with the pregame show).  As mentioned the game is on Univision and in English on Twitter, so it will not be blacked out in Denver.

Injury Report:
OUT: M Ollie Larraz
QUESTIONABLE: M Jack Price

Obviously with the short turnaround we're going to see some rotation, my best guess:

Formation isn't perfect here, but you get the idea.  Rosenberry is going to have to be the ironman and I'm really hoping Wilson is up to starting.  I'm assuming Price won't be available.

Prediction: 2-0 loss.  There's nothing about this game that favors us other than the home turf, which isn't enough.  We're on very short rest, we're not playing well, and LAFC is the best team in the league at the moment.  If we get in a position to get a point I will have no issue with Fraser parking the bus at home and accepting it.
