The Crew game against the Rapids on Wednesday was possibly the biggest waste of two hours of my life since I went to see Panic Room a few years ago. The play from both teams was uninspiring to say the least, with almost no highlight-reel near misses or otherwise dramatic action. Were it not for the in-game thread on BigSoccer, I probably would've fallen asleep watching it. I'm not even going to really bother to analyze the match; it was that bad. However, for as bad as the Crew played on Wednesday, the end result is that we got a point on the road against a team that plays at a disadvantageous altitude. If it had been a thriller 5-5 goal-frenzy, we'd all be celebrating the point that we'd won, but a 0-0 snoozer provides us with the same one point. So, we'll take the point, try to forget that this game ever happened, and celebrate the fact that the Crew are unbeaten in five matches. With bottom-feeders RSL coming to town on Saturday, the Crew should stretch that run to six matches, and hopefully capture three more points.
I apologize for the tardiness and the shortness of this update, but I just couldn't bring myself to write about that awful game in Colorado. I'll have analysis of the RSL game on Sunday, and I plan on attending a Crew practice sometime in the middle of next week, so check back in for all that. Thanks for reading!
