Soccer is about taking advantage of those ever-so-infrequent moments as they present themselves. On Saturday night, Dominique Badji did just that. As the footsteps of Yannick Boli grow louder, Badji’s accuracy gets better.
Saturday’s game was a windy, cold, and blustery mess for fans. Rather than sitting in the south stands as usual, we stood on the north end. It was there that my ear heard this comment from a fan:
“We don’t need you anymore, Badji! That’s why they signed Boli!”
The first half was tough to watch. By the eyeball test, the Union looked like the better team, bringing more threats on their end than the Rapids were on theirs (however, the stats apparently disproved this).
