– Yeah, this one seems obvious, and it is. Still, Martin Rivero was easily the most hyped player brought in by the Rapids since… well, it's been a while since anyone with that much hype was brought in to wear the Burgundy and White. Coming into his first appearance at home against a good but not New York caliber of good team like the Chicago Fire will give him a place to show his stuff. If he falters, nerves or no, the questions will probably start immediately even if they'll be jumping the gun a bit. If he brings as much quality as he's supposed to be bringing, the Rapids should be able to handle the Fire at least on the offensive side of things. Speaking of which…
