Were the Colorado Rapids able to bottle the confidence claimed from the come-from-behind MLS win over Columbus Crew SC two weeks ago, then they may want to sprinkle on the socks of every player ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Portland Timbers at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (TICKETS).
The never-say-die grit displayed throughout much of 2016 has again been evident in recent times, whether it were the backs-to-the-wall win over Sporting Kansas City, or the consecutive comebacks - against Crew SC and in midweek over Oklahoma City Energy FC in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Portland will present a problem.
