Poor Impact Fail To Capitalize ...

I never bought into the noise around last night’s fixture being against the worst team in MLS. Certainly Colorado’s record across the whole season, bears comparison with the basement clubs, but since Conor Casey replaced Anthony Hudson twelve games ago, the Rapids have been in play-off form, if not in play-off positions.

They’re 6-3-3 over their last 12, while the Impact are 4-1-7. And they were at home so justifiably wore the favourites tag.

That does not excuse a humbling performance from the bleu/blanc/noir, lacking in guts, organization and effort.

A win would have seen the Impact leap-frog over New York City who were surprisingly beaten at Real Salt Lake, and put daylight between them and nearest challengers New England Revolution and Toronto FC, each of whom lost on 0-2 verdicts.
