Yes, and the Rapids were often buzzing around like pesky mosquitoes eager to win the ball back and then attack with speed. And they kept it up even late in the second half when it seemed the game was in the bag. Much of the time when the Rapids were on the attack both Vines and Rosenberry would push way up the pitch sometimes getting into the box. They were really playing in advanced positions like I haven't seen this season. I was again impressed with the Rapids ability to hold possession when holding the lead.
Something to note in absence: Comments on the refereeing of the game. This is a good thing, and Mr. Stott deserves recognition for it. I can't think of a single time that I disagreed with a call.
