The 2011 Eastern Conference finalists clash at Livestrong Sporting Park with plenty to play for in 2012, as Sporting Kansas City and the Houston Dynamo meet with an eye on improving their respective standing as the playoffs approach. Sporting KC is still very much in the mix for the Supporters' Shield, while the Dynamo have fallen a bit out of form (1-2-2 in their last five games), tumbling to fourth in the tightly contested East.
Out West, the Colorado Rapids' faint hopes at making the playoffs are on the line at the Home Depot Center, where the last two MLS Cup winners go head-to-head. The Galaxy have distanced themselves a bit from fifth-place Vancouver and are eyeing a top-three berth in the West, which would keep them out of the wild card round.
Here is the viewing schedule for the night's matches:
8:30 p.m. – NBC Sports Network – Sporting Kansas City vs. Houston Dynamo
11 p.m. – MLS Live/Univision Deportes – Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Colorado Rapids

I know, I was being a tad sarcastic. The 9/11 remark was the hint.
Allocation money, DP’s, and they pay most of their team really low salaries. Aside from the new guy, not many players on LA make much more than 100K at best (not counting DP’s)
it was on channel 56 if you have DirecTv.
MLS bends the rules for the Galaxy, and 9/11 was an inside job.
Cause he got beat a lot and gave away penalties. He was losing a step. Not good qualities for a cb. Great guy though.
Why did Seattle dump Ty Marshall?
hahaha! come on man
cheers
Roger. Thanks.
Slide in Beckham and who beats LA? NY better get their act together…
+1
They work to get get under it….arithmetic
He still isn’t match fit
The contrast in play vs the SKC is interesting. There is much more emphasis on possession in this one. Colorado is doing well to keep this game 2-0 at LA.
Univision Sports is a different channel
Is Univision showing the game? don’t see it on the tube.
I bet you feel stupid now, huh?
…and Wihelmsson starts to earn his paycheck too.
Could’ve used a healthy Donovan a week ago…
Talking of the Gals’ amazing players, Donovan to Keane for the early lead.
New math
Friday Night with beautiful NBC Sports production….thank you MLS
how is it that the Galaxy can afford all these amazing players when the salary cap is under 3 million?
The two guys that choked the most this game come together to snag the equalized in the final seconds of stoppage time.
Talk about redemption.
excuse me, stoppage time
Zusi serves it up on a platter off the millionth free kick KC has had but Myers heads it down but straight at the keeper, about 80′. KC with chances but no finish
until Zusi serves it far post for sapong header…what a goal in extra time
Underrated player, Nielsen.
Also, Zusi is floundering in this second half. He’s squandered two really nice opportunities to play a teammate in on goal. SKC can’t have him messing up like this and expect to tie this up or even win.
Davis doesn’t suck, what a nice strike lower far 90. Garcia fun as usual
Sapong header cleared off the line by Kandji, saved a goal right there 62′
Pretty clear penalty not given.
Corey Ashe holding himself up off ground with his arm and cross goes right off his hand. Kamara thinks about breaking Ashe in half but is restrained.
Dynamo needs to slow things down. They are playing SKC’s game of helter-skelter football. That is not their game. They will loses if things stay the same.
He is still a dangerous kid…That header that was saved by Hall was Powerful
It’s been a while.
Battle of the keepers lol
Does Nielson have super glue on his gloves? He just snagged that point blank.
Tally Hall going Matrix on a powerful header.
Can someone point me to the last time Kandji did something other than shove people around and act tough while shanking a cross or shot or pass?
Sarkodie was fouled from behind; how can that not be called?
CJ Sapong is awful. How did this guy score so many goals last year? Jesus.
