Six Degrees: Good Teams Beat the Bad Teams

It was a fun night and a good win, but let’s not get too excited. Colorado’s pretty bad.

1) Saturday night’s game started ugly, and I actually thought Colorado was the better side for the opening 10-15 minutes. When we had the ball, Colorado pressed the hell out of us and we didn’t respond well. Then when Colorado had the ball, they were playing some very well-timed through-balls that looked offside but actually weren’t. If Colorado had better finishers, I think they would have been up a goal or two early.

The most exciting moment of the opening 40 minutes was probably this offside call.
