Howard deserved some criticism for the goals that occurred in that game but there was always a bigger break down before the final shot was made. The momentum for Brad Guzan has swayed with U.S. fans recently, as Tim Howard has made a number of strong performances to help catapult Everton up near the top four in the Premier League. On a day where Aston Villa and Guzan fell to relegation candidate Fulham, Howard shined brightly for Everton as they declared their intentions at the Emirates with a well earned draw against Arsenal.

Colorado Rapids : Should We Be Paying More Attention?
On June 29th the Colorado Rapids came from behind to beat the Impact in Montreal. The win snapped a 3 game losing streak for the Rapids and propelled them into a two and a half month stretch where they went 7-1-4 in the league.
Colorado has matched up well with the best of the western conference; beating the LA Galaxy twice, going undefeated in 3 games against Real Salt Lake, and managing a tie with Seattle at Century Link Field. Colorado plays Portland this Friday (NBCSN) with the chance to take even more points from a team near the top of the western conference.
Colorado is not exactly sneaking up on anybody, they are third in the most recent MLSsoccer.com power rankings, but most of the media attention remains on Los Angeles, Seattle, Salt Lake and even Portland. Does Colorado's young roster have enough talent and exuberance (maybe ignorance?) to finish out the season in the top five (or three) of the western conference? Do guys like Edson Buddle and Marvel Wynne provide enough leadership to make the Rapids believe they can beat the Galaxy or Sounders in a two-game series?
If Colorado finishes 4th in the west and faces Portland in the playoff round, at home, then they will prove a very difficult task for an equally inexperienced Timbers team. Beyond that, if the regular season is any indication, the Rapids are capable of stealing a series from one of the top 3 in the western conference.
