The Colorado Rapids surge into the 2012 season on a mission to earn their third consecutive trip to the playoffs, from where they emerged as Major League Soccer’s champions just two years ago. Rather than watch the game from a hammock tied to the net posts, Rapids backers can soak in the toe-to-toe action from sideline seats during five different games, including the home opener on March 10 and a heated match against the defending champion Galaxy on April 21. First-year head coach Oscar Pareja arrives to the welcoming sight of a roster brimming with global talent, such as Jamaican Omar Cummings, who hopes to overcome last season’s pesky bouts with injuries to once again lead the Rapids’ offensive attack. Midfielder Jeff Larentowicz, meanwhile, enters the new campaign aiming to build on last season’s seven goals, and goalkeeper Matt Pickens returns to redirect shots by peppering the field with detour signs.
