I don't have the patience to spend a whole lot of time on this disaster of a match. Needless to say after being 2-0 down in the first 10 minutes it didn't get better from there. A 4-1 loss looks better than it was.
Other Observations:
- Matt Pickens was subbed out in the second half due to a groin strain. Those were the first league minutes he missed since missing a Rocky Mountain Cup match in Utah in 2010. Ian Joyce got the start for that game.
- That meant that this was the league debut of Steward Ceus. He didn't have much to do, and was left stranded on the final San Jose goal.
- Drew Moor is now the only player to play every minute of the season. He continues to be the Rapids ironman.
- Akpan's PK saved the Rapids from their first 4 goal loss since September of 2004 (a 6-1 loss in New England). No team in the league has a longer streak without a 4 goal loss. Houston, Philly, and Montreal, as expansion teams, have not suffered a 4 goal loss in their history but they all started after the Rapids last 4 goal loss.
- Great move by the Rapids to combine the Terraces, it worked well.
- I should say more, but yuck. That really covers it all.
Player Of The Game: Nobody. Everybody sucked.
