The week always goes quicker when your team has won and you have another match to look forward to.
Vancouver Whitecaps head into April unbeaten and set to face Western Conference opposition in the shape of Colorado Rapids.
The AFTN crew look ahead to the game and ponder which formation and players head coach Carl Robinson will go with this week.
To get a better insight into the visiting Rapids, we chat with <a href="http://www.mlssoccer.com/author/Chris-Bianchi" target="_blank"><u>MLSSoccer.com</u></a> writer and <a href="http://milehighsports.com/" target="_blank"><u>MileHighSports.com</u></a> Editor-in-Chief <b>Chris Bianchi</b>.
How have the team coped with their own turbulent offseason? Will their impressive young guns from last year suffer a sophomore slump? And how strong will the team that heads to Vancouver be this weekend? We discuss all this and much more.
