Tune in this Saturday to myself and Asa Rehman on 730 CKNW, 101.1 HD3, and CKNW.com, starting with our pre-match show and ending with our post-match show. Saturday's match kicks off at 6:30 p.m. PT.
Here are the keys for the 'Caps to stay at the top of the Western Conference with a home win over Colorado Rapids.
Defensive consistency
The 'Caps defensive record is terrific.
We've conceded only five goals in six MLS matches, third best in the Western Conference.
Keep this defensive consistency, it gives us a chance to win games.
Pressure their backline
Colorado have relied on good goalkeeping in recent games.
Zack Steffen has been very good, but a goalkeeper can only do so much.
We need to keep the pressure on their back four and goalkeeper.
Discipline
A couple of times midweek we almost lost our discipline by getting involved in daft scuffles.
We need 11 on the pitch.
Don’t get involved
