2-1 loss, goal by Aigner. Vancouver has a much better offense but a pretty similar defense to us. I think both team can score but Vancouver will control the game and with the home field advantage, get the win.Ok, Badji had the goal and not Aigner but otherwise this was fairly accurate, for the second straight week. I'll be honest. With the UW win over CU on Saturday night and the NFL yesterday I've only seen the first 50 minutes or so (up to Vancouver's second goal) but by all reports there wasn't much different in the second half. This team just isn't good enough and that's not going to change this season.
Nice job by Badji poaching the goal on a bad defensive effort. For as bad as the team has been this year you can see real growth in his game and he's rightfully going to be the Golden Boot winner with probably double-digit goals, not something I would have expected at the start of the year.
On the other side, what does it take to get Aigner a start. Planning for next year or not this is ridiculous. A mid-season signing should not be waiting until the final month of the season to get his first start. He might be great in 2018 but he (along with Boateng) is a bust for 2017.
The Rapids still need 6 points in the final 5 games to avoid their worst season ever. Next up, a trip to Dallas on Wednesday.
