A game marred by not one, not two, but three lightning delays turned into a 2-1 loss for the Rapids. Honestly its hard to take much of anything from this game with the start stop nature of the game. An hour delay to kickoff, then play 28 minutes, then a delay, then play 7 minutes, then a delay, then play 10 minutes, then an 8 minute halftime, then a full second half that ended after midnight leaves a game where it was impossible to get into any rhythm.
About the only thing I took from it is that Diego Rubio is lucky he scored. His complaining to the ref, diving, and otherwise petulant play is only worth it if he scores. Otherwise the theatrics are more a detraction than an addition to the team. Before the goal I was thinking that his contract i going to end up feeling very long if we have to put up with this every game.
Man of the Match: Any fan that made it to the final whistle in the stands. I am very, very glad my anniversary kept me home Thursday night as that looked miserable to experience. Anyone who saw all 90 minutes live is the clear man (or woman) of the match.
