P/in/P Rapids verse FSL Sunday, Oct 15, 2017

Is it wrong that when I saw this:



I thought it was a CD with Balboa's color commentary?

 

Badji with a yellow throwing his hip into Beltrans swinging kick.

 

I like all that gear but I feel like I'm ten years to old to sport it.

 

Or an 8-track with Pablo's greatest post-game quotes . . .

 

Gals up 2-0 over Minnesota

 

There is very likely a third contender for the Spoon if the Rapids win. At the moment, the Rapids would be in third place in the race for the Spoon.

 

Why couldn't Howard play like this against T&T?
Now that we want the wooden spoon, he decides to deny is that as well.

 

Somewhere an Alan Gordon voodoo doll is enduring a spin cycle.

 

Aigner is too good for this team

 

DaFonte almost channeling Watts there.

 

Beckerman takes a shot from his rocking chair.

 

Richard Fleming is on fire today with his criticisms of the referee.

 

Rapids win! Weeeeeeee!

 

V I c t o r y

 

How did the shot totals end up? 29 to 2?

 

Wooden Spoon update:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Los Angeles 3, Minnesota United 0, FT
Portland 4, DC United 0, FT

Standings for the Spoon:
DC United 32 points, -28 goal differential
LA Galaxy 32 points, -19 goal differential
Colorado 33 points, -17 goal differential

For the Rapids to win the Spoon:
Colorado must lose or draw at Seattle
Los Angeles must win at FC Dallas
DC United must win at home v. RBNY

Sadly, very likely . . .

 

Score early against a team playing for their season.

 

So Gashi the only one not around for the team shirt event. Not sure if anything can be read into that or not.

 

Fleming said he had a head cold.

 

First tiebreaker is number of wins and then goal differential

With this win the Rapids avoid their worst season ever.

 

RSL 71.6% possession, outshot the Rapids 30 to 2. And just under the red line now.

They must be mad.

Maybe they rally and make it next week, but I'll take it over winning the spoon.

 

No they're crying:
