And in case you haven't been paying attention, the Colorado Rapids are playing some decent soccer this year and are in third place in the West. Sure, the level of play might lag a bit behind what you'll see during Euro 2008 this month, but if you're a fan of the game, I think you'll enjoy watching the Rapids. They've actually been pretty fun to follow this year (if not a little frustrating, due to their inability to win consecutive matches.) Through 11 matches the Rapids are 5-6-0 (4-2-0 at home, 1-4-0 on the road), and they've tallied 18 goals on the year - third best in the league.
Of course, the best way to experience a match is at the new and superbly constructed Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Check out the list below for the Rapids remaining home games, and enjoy the beautiful game!
