Tomorrow night, the undefeated Colorado Rapids (1-0-1, 4 pts) come to town to take on the undefeated Kansas City Wizards (1-0-0, 3 pts). Not unexpectedly, most of today's links center around that game. News worth noting: former Wizards striker Claudio Lopez has received his P-1 Visa and is eligible for selection.
