The Colorado Rapids announced today the team's first trade of the 2005 off-season, as the Black and Blue acquired forward Cornell Glen from the Columbus Crew in exchange for veteran defender Ritchie Kotschau.
"Ritchie's leadership was without a doubt a great asset for the Rapids and we thank him for everything he did for our team." said Charlie Wright, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of the Colorado Rapids. "This trade allows us to acquire an exciting striker in Cornell Glen, who we expect will provide a more diverse attacking option for the Black and Blue in 2006."
Forward Cornell Glen comes to his fourth MLS team in his third year in the league. Glen appeared in 18 games for the MetroStars in 2004, tallying six goals and two assists. This past year he spent time with FC Dallas, not seeing any action, before heading to the Crew and scoring four goals, including a penalty kick against the Rapids.
The native of Trinidad & Tobago has played in 34 games for their national team, "The Soca Warriors", scoring 11 goals. Most recently Glen was called up for Trinidad's World Cup Qualifying playoff matches against Bahrain, from which the island nation qualified for their first World Cup Finals ever. He also played for Trinidad & Tobago in the 2005 Gold Cup, where he scored the tying goal against Panama in the 90th minute during the group stage.
Before playing for the MetroStars, Glen competed for San Juan Jabloteh in the Trinidad & Tobago national league. In 2004 Glen scored a hat trick for Jabloteh against the Chicago Fire in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Ritchie Kotschau, the eight-year league veteran, played a total of 28 games for the Rapids in 2005, accumulating 2,272 minutes in the defensive backline for the Black and Blue.

Trinidad and Tobago played 20 qualifying matches, more than any other 2006 Cup finalist.

This statement should be read to  URUGUAY, Bahrain and all de other stinkin detractors who say we did not deserve to be in Germany...

[truetrini]

I feel that is a good move for Glen as he is likely yo see more action.

[skins]

What are the names of Colorado Rapids starting strikers. Are they any good compare to Cornell Glen. Hope he see more action because i believe he hungry for goals come next season. The man been on four teams in three years. Time the man settle down with a team and start busting the net.

Caribbean teams that are unseaded leading up the semi-fials stage of CONCACAF qualifying, will undoubtedly play more games, seeing that we have to go through the CFU elminiation stages. When Jamaica qualified for France, we they also were the team to have played the most games during the qualification process. Costa Rica, Mex and USA were seeded, hence they joiined the mix at teh semi-final stages. CONCACAF plays more game than all other confed in WCQ games.

[Sam]

Glen and Cunningham will set de pace next season.... watch that pair... (Yorke & Cole).. 

[dumpalewie]

MLS is an anti-Westindian shit league.

The sooner he leave the better for him. Hopefully he does well in the WC and gets a contract in Europe where he can develop further.

[Bally]

This is what I don’t like about this league this his third team in two years next thing you he will get waved because he really did not prove to be a star in the league meaning that he has no time to adjust ever time he moves look at Andy Williams from Jamaica he played with every team in the MLS and I believe that the MLS has damped his career.     

[Themanfriday]

He ah Trini though he will overcome
