OK, I hope we see four in the back. IMO - we simply don't have the personnel to play a 3-5-2. ................. Bouna ............... Freeman .. Petke .. Wingert .. Denton Cooke .. Beckerman .. Mathis .. Dedi .......... Kirovski & Peterson ......
They're all just marks on the map. I'd like to see Mathis run himself into the ground as a withdrawn forward and then sub in Kiro or vice versa. Let Niko and Peterson run up front, and sub in Noel late. ................. Bouna ............... Freeman .. Petke .. Wingert .. Denton Cooke ..... Beckerman ..........Dedi .................Mathis...................... ......Peterson...............Niko .........

The last time RSL won 2 games in a row, they went an 18 games winless streak. They just beat LA on the road and KC at home, 2 wins in a row. Need I say more?
You got that right ........ Freeman, Petke, Wingert and Denton - certainly not a defensive stalwart !

@32' Not too fast of a pace of game but each side have had a couple chances. Kries just had a good chance but just missed.
GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mathis with a nice corner, ball bouncing around and Kirovski puts in his own rebound for a goal! 34' RSL 0 CO 1
You came here just looking to see what I was up to. How sweet of you. Rapids outplaying RSL since the goal. A minute or two left in the first half.
Why aren't you at the game man?? Rapids playing decent, not great. Conditions are tough, but RSL is definitely having a tough time stringing together more than 2 passes. I think their only hope is to get Cunningham on the field and let him run at defenders. Good mucky goal for Kirovski. Didn't know he could hit the post from that close. He had more of the goal to shoot at and still dinged the post, but it was good that he got a second chance... Mathis is playing well, I think. If nothing else, that corner proved he's a good decoy. People seem to still respect his ability.

Holy crap what an awful call. Outside the box, inadvertent. Cunningham scores. Ref blew it. Hard to say that and not sound like a homer, but the ref absolutely blew that call, and there is video evidence to back it up. Petke was two yards outside the box.
