Live MLS preseason video: Colorado Rapids vs. Real Salt Lake

The final Major League Soccer preseason game of the year is the championship game of the Desert Diamond Cup. Kickoff between the Rocky Mountain Cup rivals is set for 9 p.m. Eastern.

Once the final whistle blows, the countdown will be on to the official start of MLS' 20th season. We can only hope that the league agrees to a new collective bargaining agreement with the MLS Players Union in time to not miss any games. I'm not optimistic, but as the pressure mounts, hopefully the two sides will find enough common ground to forge a fair deal.

Thanks to all of you who've tuned in to watch games on here over the last few weeks.
