Rapids forward Conor Casey on Thursday was named to the U.S. men’s national team roster by coach Bob Bradley for World Cup qualifying games. The U.S. plays against Honduras and Costa Rica next week. Casey is not expected to miss any MLS games for the Rapids, who are off during that time.
With three games remaining, the Rapids are leading the wild-card standings for a playoff berth. They host New England on Saturday. Casey’s 15 goals this season rank second in the MLS behind Dallas’ Jeff Cunningham.

David Buckenheimer scored off a corner kick for the lone goal in the 73rd minute as host Missouri State (5-2-1) beat Denver (3-3-2) 1-0.
