More Of The Same In Orlando

For the third time in the last four games the Rapids gave up a goal in the last 10 minutes and dropped points.  This time though, they gave up two goals and went from up 3-2 to losing 4-3.  Combined with the KC game where they went from 1-0 up to a 1-1 draw and the Dallas game where they went from a 1-1 draw to 2-1 down, that's 6 points dropped.  This season would look a lot better at 8 points after 6 games than it does at 2.

Hudson remarked after the game about the refs missing the red card on Nani.  I will agree with him, they missed it and Nani should have been off.  Do we win that game up a man?  Maybe, but with our defense you can never be sure.  But it doesn't matter.  No good team should be up a goal in the 80th minute against one of the worst teams in the league and lose, and yet we managed to do it.  The problem wasn't the officiating or the lack of a red card, the problem is a defense that gets overrun faster than the English forces at Stirling Bridge.

Two critical games this week where if we have any chance to compete this year we need at minimum 4 points.  In reality though, we'll be lucky to get 1.  This team needs new leadership.
