Colorado will be well represented in the 2013 U.S. Open Cup, with three clubs in the discussion. The lowest tiered of them, the Colorado Rovers, will enter the play-in round on May 7th.

Colorado has never had an MLS Rookie of the Year. Dillon Powers has already been tabbed as an early favorite for this year, and his burgeoning ability on set pieces might be what pushes him to the top.

Atiba Harris scored, Clint Irwin saved, and the Rapids got the result of the season so far by taking down RSL on Saturday.

The injuries this season remind me of the 2011 season, except this time with far more people blaming the coach.

Who was the worst player on the pitch against the Portland Timbers?

Vote for who you think was the Man of the Match against the Portland Timbers.

Blargh.

A very injured Rapids squad played a decent game but couldn't hold onto a 2-0 lead, dropping points at home in the end to the Portland Timbers.

Injuries, you say? Let's see what the Scott Palguta Memorial Depth Meter has to say.

Geoff from Stumptown Footy exchanged some questions with me about our teams ahead of the game on Saturday.

Andre Akpan has been sent with to the New York Red Bulls for a conditional draft pick.

Every single player on the Colorado Rapids is injured thanks to a bizarre set of circumstances that involved all the players getting tangled with separate grain threshers, all at the same time.

Mark Knudson of Mile High Sports would like us all to know that Americans don't like soccer, and we never will until they add shootouts and remove that whole 'stoppage time' thing.

More injuries mounting up for the Rapids, how original! Two injuries sustained against LA will keep players out against Portland.

Drew Moor's foolish elbow to Marcelo Sarvas' head will result in a two-game suspension.

We might be getting our best young attacking midfielder back sooner, rather than later.

Very few people expected Costa Rica's protest against the snowy conditions on Friday to go through, and sure enough, the result will stand.

Allstate provided us with two free tickets to give away last week, so here's some thanks!

It's late and I'm putting this up late, so here's my favorite .gif from Friday night.

Vote for who you think was the least valuable player in Colorado's 1-0 loss to LA.

We're still doing the vote, but Clint Irwin was probably the man of the match regardless against LA.

Injuries and a red card made an already uninspiring performance even worse for the Rapids, who fell 1-0 to the LA Galaxy.

The USA took all three points from Costa Rica in a snowy affair at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Friday night.

Tony Meola and Allstate will bring "Good Hands FC" to Colorado on Thursday, surprising a local youth team.

When the Colorado Rapids and LA Galaxy meet for the first time in 2013 on Saturday, both teams will be missing key players.

Part of the pregame festivities at DSGP on Friday will include US legend Tony Meola at the Allstate Fan Zone. (Oh yeah, and we've got tickets to give away.)

The roster for Friday's game at DSGP has been released, and the defense is frightening.

Clint Irwin put on a show for us against Real Salt Lake, and I saw stuff that makes me think he might have what it takes to keep that job full-time with Matt Pickens out.
