Everything was falling into place for the Colorado Rapids to make some noise, but it would all come to nothing if the Rapids didn’t take three points against FC Frisco (excuse me, FC Dallas). Let’s review.
On Wednesday, Real Salt Lake and LA Galaxy drew—only one point for each—meaning that two of the three teams with whom the Rapids are solidifying their position in the Western Conference didn't really gain any ground. On Friday, Sporting Kansas City drew with Houston Dynamo 3-3. While having a Houston win would be ideal to keep SKC at arm’s length in their quest for a solid positioning in the playoff race, one point will do.
