Rapids @ Houston 1pm 4/19 {r}

How much does playing on a really crappy pitch influence the game from the Rapid's angle. After training on world-class facilities only to play on crappy grass with a field 68 yards in width? This may explain a bit of the hole in the midfield.

 

Speaking of replays, regular Altitude has Winter X Games and then Breaking, Weapons, Freestyle, or some such. :>(

Has anyone found the English broadcast on a streaming radio signal or found the English television broadcast on any of the Dish Network sports alternate channels (or anywhere else on Dish)? I'm assuming the Justin TV signal has no sound because it is the Telefutura signal in Spanish anyway?

 

No, this is worse. They are playing...... like crap.

 

They played like crap in the first half last week too

 

We look like a bunch of individuals out there. Nobody is actually moving and looking for their teammates.

 

Labrocca wide open at the top of the 18 and heads it over the end line. Bring that ball down and shoot!

 

The ball pinballed around the box with the Rapids D being completely beaten, but Houston shoots high.

 

15 minutes gone in the 2nd, still not much out of the Rapids.

 

The Rapids have yet to have anything resembling a dangerous shot on goal in this game.

 

Its pretty sweet of Houston to allow their grounds crew to consume before painting that center line!

 

Cookie looks like he's getting ready to come in.

 

Lots of crosses to absolutely nobody today

 

69' Cooke in for LaBrocca

 

74' Yellow for Cummings as he tries to decapitate Onstad, lucky not to see red.

 

82', still nothing dangerous out of the Rapids

 

Casey draws a PK!!!!

 

Penalty!

 

Save!

 

F*ck

 

Onstad saves the PK, then makes a follow up save

 

Colin is done, he has no gas left

 

I hate to say it, but when did Colin start today?

 

For all his skill, Pat Onstad has still never shelled out more than 12 bucks on a haircut.

 

He's had NO IMPACT on the game, but he has run around the field a lot.

 

Why do we always suck in Houston?!
