Robin Fraser did not manage to prepare his charges for the restart of the season, as a result, the team goes without points. The club from Denver played two games, but only disappointed everyone with their play. Colorado started the group stage with a defeat to Real Salt Lake (0-2), although during the fight they had more than one opportunity to hit the opponent’s goal. In the second meeting the Rapids players were more active because they managed to score two goals, although this was not enough to win over Sporting (2-3). The team is in a difficult position and understands very well, that there are practically no chances to get into playoffs, but for the sake of honor it must adequately compete against Minnesota.
Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-1 at Wembley on Sunday to advance to the FA Cup final. The Pensioners had a great chance to win their first trophy with Frank Lampard. In the final, the Blues will play with Arsenal. In the Premier League, the “pensioners” are also doing well. Chelsea is in the third place. However, the blues may well be left even without the Champions League in certain hands. True, this will only happen if Chelsea does not win both matches and not just the fight against Liverpool. Since Leicester was defeated in the current round, the Foxes will not be higher than the retirees. A victory in the last round in one of Chelsea’s remaining matches will be enough to qualify for the Champions League. After the resumption of the Premier League, Chelsea performed quite strongly. The Pensioners have won five out of seven matches. In July, Frank Lampard’s side lost to West Ham (2: 3) and Sheffield (0: 3), but beat Norwich (1: 0), Crystal Palace (3: 2) and Watford ( 3: 0). With the top six, Chelsea had an average stats. On the road, the “pensioners” lost to Manchester City (1: 2), Manchester United (0: 4), but won against Tottenham (2: 0) and Arsenal (2: 1). Marco van Ginkel and Billy Gilmore are not available to Lampard for this match. The participation of N’Golo Kante is questionable.
