Well,
Colorado Rapids
, that was quite a July you served up.
On Independence Day you laid down your American honor — in front of a hometown capacity crowd, no less — and were fricasseed by a bunch from Canada.
From there you were flagellated, fleeced and flayed by nearly every team in the West. Oh, and a second Canadian team — an abysmal one — just for good measure.
The misery was capped by yet another loss to Seattle on Saturday.
At least the Rapidos displayed fight and sustained waves of attack in this one. Sitting in the south stands I thought my eyes deceived in the number of burgundy jerseys swarming the final third. i saw corner after Colorado corner. I saw cross after cross.
Too bad it came to no avail. Thanks, yet again, to a couple boneheaded plays in the defensive zone.
