The game is at 4 PM (Best coast time) which is a little earlier than our games at the Rapids typically are.

 

No Donovan and no Gonzalez, and almost certainly no Keane and no Rogers for this one.  If the kids are as all right as they were last week, we should have a decent chance, though.  Just, since it's a road game and at high altitude to boot, let's hope everyone is especially sharp and alert for the closing minutes.

I trust Tommy. Pablo worries me. But, Courtois seemed alright in his cameo. Is Sarvas leading in the LARS POTY race?

Okay, well, for today's Gs it looks like we have:

 

Cuddles; Franklin, De La Garza, Meyer, Dunivant; Mastroeni, Sarvas, Juninho, Jimenez; Zardes, Villarreal

 

Subs:  Rowe, Leonardo, Cochrane, Garcia, Stephens, Courtois, McBean

 

 

The Rapids' coach looks like that Mayhem dude from the insurance commercials.

 

 

And 40 minutes we give up a goal because we still haven't figured out how to defend against a corner kick.  Crap.

 

 

Right out of halftime another shot goes right by Cudicini, who was still adjusting the onion on his belt.

 

 

Courtois in for Jimenez and McBean in for Villarreal at 64 minutes.

 

 

Stephens in for Mastroeni at 76 minutes.

 

 

Looks like that was our last league match until Aug. 11 - talk about a shitty aftertaste that won't go away for a while.

The G's set piece defending has sucked all year long.  Cudicini Alfredo's refusal to attack balls in the 6 yard box is also part of the problem.

 

Starting two defensive midfielders is baffling to me.  It's almost as if the plan was to go in looking for a draw.

 

Zardes is not a target forward.  I really wish Bruce would stop trying to use him that way.

 

After this International Champs Cup BS, the team will have a week off and hopefully:

  •  The return of both Landon and Omar stabilize the team
  •  The two Robbie's will be fit and ready to return the team

If you're not creepin', you're not trying...
