Completing a season sweep of Sporting Kansas City with a 1-0 victory, the Rapids extended their unbeaten run to 14. They haven't lost since April 9th when they fell to Rocky Mountain rival Real Salt Lake 1-0 on the road. Reflecting that streak is the standings where the Rapids sit in second place.
The power rankings of the three media outlets we monitor also reflect that stellar form with ESPN and SI.com putting the Rapids at one, and MLSsoccer.com ranking them second. The team that takes top spot for MLSsoccer.com? FC Dallas, who also lead the Rapids in MLS standings and just happen to be visiting Dick's Sporting Goods Park this weekend.
