Yes, it’s only preseason, but many (most?) of us were super excited for this match because it was somewhat of a preview of the Colorado Rapids home opener vs. New England Revolution on March 4th. (Get your tickets here if you haven’t already.)
The Rapids went with a 4-3-3 (as they did with the friendly on Wednesday), and started mostly veterans in the first game of the Desert Diamond Cup.
I thought the first 20 minutes looked terrible from the field (I was in one of the white tents that you can see on the video), but after rewatching the game, it wasn’t as bad as I thought.
