LAFC won’t be taken lightly by surging Colorado Rapids

Through five weeks of the MLS regular season, the Colorado Rapids are near the very top of the Western Conference. LAFC, who host the Rapids this weekend, are at the bottom of the conference. This could well be a measuring stick match for the young and improved Rapids against one of the glamour sides of MLS – a club that admittedly is a bit down to start the season but still boasts significant talent.

It defies all logic that the underappreciated, yeoman-like Colorado Rapids would be within a grasp of the top of the table and LAFC in the basement.
