A common claim of soccer fans is that scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in the game. However, for the Rapids, keeping score lines at nil is not an easy task either. “It’s a lot of work,” says Colorado Rapids defender Danny Wilson. “If you look across the league you very rarely see a 0-0 draw. Attacking is very open and it goes from end to end.”
Let’s face it—a lot has to go right (and a little luck helps as well) in order to shut out opponents in MLS. Colorado has done that just twice this season, but as Wilson tells the Burgundy Wave, there’s more than just one person involved in keeping a clean sheet.
