Last Game: Colorado 2-1 Earthquakes
Thursday, September 15 at 3am in Major League Soccer

We said: Los Angeles Galaxy 1-2 Colorado Rapids

Conventional wisdom would suggest that the Galaxy should win this game given their superior quality on paper when compared to the Rapids, not to mention how poor the Burgundy Boys have been defensively on the road. However, Colorado seem to be finding their groove and growing in confidence, which is the opposite for the Galaxy, who make it far too easy for opposing teams to penetrate their defence of a consistent basis.
