RapidFire Quote of the Week Today's RapidFire Quote of the Week comes from midfielder Terry Cooke, in an interview on Everton's website about what the EPL side can expect when they face off against the Rapids this Sunday:

"We're going to be halfway through our season so we'll obviously be fitter. We like to play at a quick tempo at home and use the altitude to our advantage. I think Everton will find it very hard coming here because of the altitude and the heat. We do try to get the ball down and play a bit but we're quite direct as well. I think all the lads will be up for the game and will give a good account of themselves."
