P/I/P - Black Diamond Run #7 - Rapids vs Wayne Rooney's DCU, Sat. 4/13/2019 7PM

Sigh. Their Acosta collects a header pass off a corner and shoots it in.

VAR is reviewing Luciano for a handball?

Price got a yellow for a handball standing in front of goal.

 

2nd goal, Durkin open shot from right.

Another total defensive breakdown on the left side, this time off a restart. Durkin in a huge amount of space.

 

Jesus they suck. They just let everyone waltz right in.

 

I guess the optimism has dissipated.

Now let’s watch Hudson do his magic with his impeccable motivational skills and superior tactics!

Maybe they should do a coaching loan with Colorado Springs

 

What the hell. Rodriguez takes a bad ball and goes past 3 players (principally Smith).

 

Nope, you pretty much called it!

 

I hope the Nuggets do better. Though I am nervous for them, some other higher NBA seeds have gotten off to shaky starts tonight.

 

All Ben Olsen has to do to motivate DC after the first goal was to tell his players “Hey! Were playing the Rapids!!!” Then voila... 3 goals

 

I am sad and happy that I did not renew my season tickets....second time in 20+ years (the other was the Hankinson's last year after the wife broke her leg, spiral, skiing).

Go Nuggets, Aves, and then F_ck it, ski and play golf........

We are done here. Can we not have an average franchise???????

This time DCU messes up...Kamara all alone at the far post for a header off Feilhaber cross.

 

Mezquida almost scores--header hits bar and bounces off Birnbaum and back out.

 

Need help on that VAR call. In the stadium with no angle? How did it look?

 

Seems like 80% of the attack is Kamara's head.

 

They didn't have a great angle on altitude. Came off the bar and off Birnbaum, so probably not a goal.

 

Nuggets just tipped off.

CO Springs's Derrick White gets the start for the Spurs.

 

Whoa, Amarikwa is in for DCU.

 

In injury time, review for possible penalty when Mezquida went down. Replay didn't look like anything.

Rapids lose.

 

Vines is man of the match? Huh.

Rooney seemed to have very little effect on the game.

 

If they can just avoid the gifting the other team 2-3 soft goals per game they can start nicking some points.

 

I didn't watch the match, more because I don't care than because they made it difficult to watch.

Bodmer Line: 1.519 PPG. *
Kroenke Line: 0.889 PPG.

We now have a new "Line" -- the Hudson Line, calculated as the PPG needed to become the worst team in MLS history. The current record is 16 points, held by D.C. United (3-24-7 in 2013).

Hudson Line: 0.481 PPG (13 points or less in 27 remaining matches).

Rapids: 0.286 PPG.

On to the next butt-kicking . . .

#HudsonOut

EDIT:
* Only three Rapids teams have ever had more than 1.519 PPG in a season . . .

 

I don’t know what to make of this game. DC scores 3 goals in 8 minutes. Other than that, the Rapids certainly seemed to have played like the better side...I wonder how many more games the team has until the players stop playing with heart like they did tonight in that field.

It’s a shame we couldn’t pull something out of tonight. Oof.

Cmon you ‘Pids

 

The game was not streaming Altitude Now last night which was a huge plus for me as I would have watched too much and gotten angry. [emoji41]

I could however stream both the Avalanche and Nuggets from Altitude Now


WTF KSE????

 

It’s almost as if the loss was due to just plain bad luck. (in reference to this game recap, not my opinion)

We watched the entire game. But it was tricky to find. Frankly, it was decent quality too—the streaming feed, not the Rapids defense.

 

Colorado Rapids: Where games are streamed out by the cheap club owner and goals are streamed in by the opponents.
