Happy 4th?
Hopefully everyone had a fantastic 4th.
The fireworks were all up in the air and not on the field, but it appears the tailgate crowd was strong and the crowds in the stands were rockin'.
The Rapids website says, "Rapids earn draw on Independence Day." For once I would agree. Not a bad showing by the youngsters towards the end of the game, some great, exciting combinations in the last 10-15 minutes or so by Cummings, Colaluca, Peterson & Wasson.
I feel a bit sorry for Fernando in the accompanying picture to the article. I sense that he finally recognizes his three year plan failed. Don't sweat it, FC, we will always be happy to have you join us in Class VI.
Here's hoping the Red Bulls crash and burn!
So! After a very long midweek holiday, it's time to recuperate (s-l-o-w-l-y) at work today and think about a (suddenly) great weekend matchup against the interesting NY Pink Cows, now with Angel power!
Juan Pablo Angel is cleaning up the MLS Golden Boot table. He's tied with EJ, having scored 9 goals in 8 games. Can that be right? Woa.... the entire Rapids team has only scored 4 goals in the last 8 games! In fact, it's taken us the past 13 games to score more goals than Angel has done in just 8.
Wow. As a supporter of fun soccer with "goals" as I think they are called, I'm excited to see Juan Pablo Angel on the field.
Let's all give him a reaaallllly warm welcome!
Class VI tailgating starts at 4pm Sunday afternoon, with Fernando's last game as head coach for the Rapids starting at 6pm. Okay, I'm guessing on the time, but anyway...
