Game Preview: Colorado Rapids vs. Real Salt Lake
It’s the final match of the Rocky Mountain Cup and you almost wouldn’t know the Rapids are down four goals on aggregate. Every headline out of Rapids camp reads something like “We’ll bring the cup back” or “We know how important this is to the fans”. Well, it is because the fans—nay the supporters—are the reason there is an RMC.
In 2015, the Rapids were just as good as they are now and went into Dallas and punched FC Dallas in the face 4-1. Claudio Lopez was coach at that time because Pablo Mastroeni was out due to a red card the week before. The Rapids have not scored four goals in a game since.
