Trialist or something more?
Who are the guests?
I believe that the rapids were having some of the real team guest in on their side as well. It was actually a pretty cool game to watch..
Formations? It looks as if Kimura was back in the midfield? True/false?
kimura was attacking mid on the right. amazingly fast up there and looked real good there imho
"50:00 Rapids- #33 takes a shot on goal but Griffith makes the save."
I am not 100% positive, but I believe #33 was former Rapid Daniel Wasson. Also, #3 was Ritchie Kotschau.
Why is this and most of the other posts on here done by the marketing department and not the media relations department? It also seems guys like Wasson and Kotschau would be easily identified by Rapids staff.
