And if you could care less about the business side of soccer, we have a report that the Rapids beat a small public college last night on their practice field.
3-0 was the final score, relatively respectable for the college kids, I'd say. Of course, they were playing the Rapids Reserve squad, so that should make a difference.
And, frankly, if you don't care about the business side, then why weren't you out there last night to watch the game? ;-)
Speaking of Reserve squad, let's take a look at who hasn't made the first 11 just yet. This is assuming Mastroeni's just trying to get into match fitness. And by that I mean he apparently got a red card from reports on the ground. In a scrimmage. Against college kids. DOH!
Rapids Lineup:
Zach Thornton, Dan Gargan, Stephen Keel (Colin Clark 53), Chris Wingert, Jordan Harvey, Nico Colaluca, Dan Wasson, Pablo Mastroeni (Nick LaBrocca 50), Yherland McDonald, Omar Cummings, Jacob Peterson (Kosuke Kimura 70)
