The Colorado Rapids welcome the visiting Portland Timbers to Dick's Sporting Goods Park for the first time in 2016 and for the defending MLS Cup Champions this visit could be coming at a bad time. The Rapids are coming off an extra time loss in the US Open Cup and also lost Dillon Serna for the year.
And this could will be the home debut of Goalkeeper Tim Howard.
Needless to say, this is a big match for both the Rapids and the Timbers
The Goal for Colorado: Win
What to Watch For
1) Tim Howard: this game should mark the home debut of Tim Howard as he returns to Major League Soccer after a decade overseas where he played for Manchester United and Everton FC.
