One point may be enough for Colorado, looking to put the pressure on Kansas City as the series drags on. I believe by and large in the regular season that teams went out to record points at home and play a little more cautiously on the road. Colorado enters the playoffs off the momentum of a dramatic 1-0 victory over Los Angeles in the final game of the regular season. Paul Bravo notched a golden goal in the 97th minute, sending the Rapids into the postseason. We are on a high, but we know that Kansas City is the best team in the league right now.
Most experts say no, but the similarities to three seasons ago are remarkable.
In 1997 Kansas City finished tied for the best record in MLS with a 21-11 record, and had the number two seed in the playoffs. The Rapids finished with a 14-18 record and the number seven seed. The playoffs are all about a new season. The bottom line for us is eliminating mistakes and punishing their mistakes, although Kansas City doesn't make many mistakes. All rights reserved.
