I'm really starting to like this Marlon Hairston kid.

He's firmly got a place in the starting 11 now. Thank goodness they're done trying make him a right back.

That's two missed penalties imo by Grajeda. Awful.

To be fair, Red Bulls are sure blowing it all by themselves.

And Nigel de Jong with another cheap shot on an opposing player. Should have been a yellow.

Yikes. Doyle, Rowe and De Jong challenge for a ball in front of the LA box and Rowe gets de Jong's knee to the head and it looked like Doyle's knee to the abdomen (or possibly groin). Rowe is being stretchered off. Hopefully Rowe will ultimately be ok.

Edit - Rowe helped off carefully by the LA staff, Kennedy in. Meanwhile de Jong finally gets a yellow for a a dangerous challenge on Powers, meanwhile Zardes gets brushed and Azira gets a yellow. C'mon, how was that first challenge on Doyle not a yellow. Terrible decision there on that first challenge by the ref.

Rapids appear to be playing for the tie; 8 minutes of stoppage.

edit: 1-1 final. I'll take it.

Remember at the start of the season when bbrodriguez said that de jong being a dangerous player was an overblown lie?

:allears:

Yup. And boy has de Jong delivered on his reputation.

I don't know what the hell is going on with the Rapids at this point. Another 0 - 0 draw, this time against Orlando. What a disappointing and extraordinarily lackluster game. The Rapids can't seem to string two ideas together on offense even if they reared up and bit the team, collectively, on the rear end. If they limp into the playoffs playing like this they're not going to do anything except lose the play-in game and go home.

This is the same ref for Red Bulls at Galaxy. He had a poo poo game then and he's having a poo poo game now.

But lol at thinking a dive is red-worthy

And fine, a yellow for a dive.

Edit - to be fair, the Rapids haven't done much for the last 20 minutes and are making GBS threads it up just fine by themselves.

Rapids look like a team terrified to do anything because if they get hacked going forward, Marufo won't call it, and if they touch a RSL player they're getting a yellow. There's some time but not much.

Why can I only find the Rapids game on Univision?

weird, I can only find the game on spanish TV. Altitude is showing high school football :lol:

This is on "national" tv as part of the MLS/US men tv deal. :airquote:

Now what the gently caress is this afterward stuff?

Oh big time dive. Miller may be an idiot but he didn't touch the RSL player.

HOWARD AGAIN!

Well gently caress Jair Marufo. I don't blame him exclusively because a good team will find a way to fight through bad officiating, and the Rapids failed to do that. Miserably.

Edit - at this point I'm starting to wonder if they need to win the shield so they win *something* this year. At this rate if they make the playoffs it's gonna be one series and done.

And Nguyen hits another post. Meanwhile the Rapids haven't had a meaningful offensive moment in about 25 minutes.

Rapids are lucky it's 1-0 after 44' while I'm typing this.

There it is! Defensive breakdown leads to 2-0. LeToux misses Tierny going outside for a goal to the opposite top corner. It's largely over. Too bad.
