P/I/P Rapids v Dallas 9/27

Aigner - PLEASE TAKE THE FREE KICKS unless Gashi is in. I admire Saeid's effort but his FKs ain't much.

 

I did not realize a game was on. I just fired up MLS Live to watch Atlanta... 2 nil, shit. TBH I almost went with Atlanta game anyway.

 

Yeah, but so are the Rapids so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

In my experience as a coach, return to play from a concussion takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. Doyle isn't out because the protocol requires it. He's out because he's still hurt.

 

Houston Dynamo v. Los Angeles Galaxy is about to kick off. A live radio stream is available, if anybody wants to follow the other side of the Spoon battle while tearing their hair out watching the Rapids.

 

Difference being that (beside Tim) nobody thinks any Rapids are USMNT candidates.

 

No surprise. The fact that we are now talking multiple concussions in a blown season means it's totally fine to err on the side of caution.

 

That was scary - just waiting for Ford to give away a PK

 

That was the general point I was trying to get to, thanks

 

0-0 and I think it's called.

 

Given their defensive finesse, the Rapids do realize they are playing soccer, and not hockey, right?

Houston 0, Los Angeles 1, 3'

 

Timmy!

 

So far it's a Jason(TM) - the stat he created and I named for when our opponents have more goals than we have shots.

 

Shots on goal to be exact

Houston 0, Los Angeles 2, 12'

 

I know. but it's true even for just shots in this one

 

At half:
Dallas - 2 goals
Colorado - 1 shot on goal

 

This game is so ugly, it can't be soccer. In the middle of the fifth inning at Shibe Park, it's the Philadelphia Athletics 2, St. Louis Browns 0.

 

For anyone who thought the Rapids had hit rock bottom hadn't seen that first half. Wow. Our fullbacks were absolutely inept.

32', Houston 1, Los Angeles 2

 

Good ball from Serna and decent shot from Badji. Nice to see something attack-like

 

Aigner up to a whopping 55 minutes of play...

 

Sorry to see Aigner come out. Wanted to see him touch the ball more than 3 times.

 

Rapids are so lucky to only be down 2. Could have been a PK on Ford, Timmy with a couple of good saves, and now a poor offside call.
