San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 Colorado Rapids
By: Kyle | July 14th, 2008First off, I don’t want to hear any complaining from San Jose fans about Connor’s game tying goal. If we want to start talking about fouls, there were two or three goal preventing fouls by San Jose that weren’t even called. The Connor Casey non-call was perfectly consistent with the rest of the calls by the ref throughout the game.
On our side of the ball, even though you’re supposed to try to draw your road games, if there’s any road game that the Rapids should have taken, it was this. The Earthquakes still don’t have it together, but even so, they did win the season series against our club. No matter how successful the Rapids are at the end of the year, this is a serious blemish on our record.
The Rapids’ performance was actually quite good compared to San Jose, but that probably means the Rapids would have been beat by an average club. Their 3-5-2 was back again from the 4th of July, which hopefully means it’s sticking around. The only change I would make would be to give Omar or Jacob the other forward spot next to Tom.
Now, the Rapids are tied for third in the West, which is a decent recovery from their short winless streak of a few weeks ago. This makes the next game against Dallas a must win if the we want first back by the All-Star break, which is possible if Salt Lake loses versus Chicago, and LA draws or loses versus New York. With some luck we’ll take RSL out of first soon enough. In fact even if the Rapids don’t do it, the “RSL in first place” thing needs to stop now.
