The MLS Playoffs kick into high gear tonight with Columbus vs. Colorado on ESPN2 at 6pm here on the left coast. Columbus has the talent and experience but Colorado has 2 capable goal scorers in Casey & Cummings. If Colorado can exploit the flanks like Seattle did against Columbus then it could be game over early!!

During the game players are focused and in the moment, sometimes that can lead to a reckless challenge or some verbal banter when a call doesn't go your way, it can also lead to a Red Card and an early shower. One player decided if he couldn't play than no one could play!
