Backpass: Tim Howard’s Real Debut

Related Topics: Tim Howard, Fabián Castillo

Rapids hang in there for their 15th straight unbeaten. How did we even get that point?

The Rapids eked out a 1-1 draw against a tremendously talented FC Dallas side on Saturday night. Dallas had stretches, roughly from 20’-32’ and again from 55’-80’ where they looked the steadier of the two teams, on both sides of the ball. The game confirmed my perspective on MLS this year (and, to be honest, last year) - Dallas is the team to beat. Dallas’ offense wasn’t quite as overwhelming as usual: they certainly weren’t as dangerous without winger Fabian Castillo, who was in the midst of being sold to Trabzonspor in the Turkish first division.
