The Colorado Rapids, who take on the Houston Dynamo tonight at 7:30 p.m., are searching for some much needed points. The team has dropped three out of its last four matches and will need at least a draw to get out of its current sixth-place dwelling. The return home to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park is a well needed one for the Rapids. Four of the Rapids’ five victories this season have come at home.
Colorado is once again without the services of goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul, who should be returning from his national team duty after this match. The Rapids may also be without captain Pablo Mastroeni, who reinjured his back in the Untied States’ 8-0 crushing of Barbados. Check back into Americansoccerreader.com Sunday for a recap of the Saturday’s match.
Nothing big to report as the Rapids get ready to take on Toronto FC tonight at BMO Field. Also, half a world away, Senegal is prepping for its game Sunday in the third match of its World Cup Qualifying in African Group six. The Lions of Teranga will take on the low ranking Liberia squad in Monrovia. Bouna Coundoul has not played in the first two qualifiers and he is unlikely to see the pitch with Tony Sylva, who is the goalkeeper for Turkish Super League side Trabzonspor, playing well in the first two matches.
