The Rapids made it 2-for-2 on the campaign with a win at Chivas USA last weekend. United won on First Kick but dropped their last contest, a 2-1 defeat at the New England Revolution.

Armchair Analyst: No. 9 and other damning stats
First we?re going to look at why the US team is in a rut, and how that came to be. Then we?ll look at the numbers - be forewarned, they are grotesque - that the past 15 months have produced.
The main problem with the US team: There?s no center forward.
I?ve praised Jozy Altidore in this space before for his willingness to do the donkey-work of knocking-down headers, making unselfish passes and drawing fouls, all of which proved invaluable in the World Cup. His vision has improved by leaps and bounds, as has his strength on the ball.
