What to Watch For: The Expectation Edition
Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY SportsThe Colorado Rapids head into week three of the 2017 MLS Season coming off a 0-1 loss to New York Red Bulls, where they managed just one shot on goal. If it were not for solid defensive play and great goalkeeping, the Rapids would have suffered a more thorough defeat.
It wasn’t that the Rapids lost (it was kind of expected). It was that more was expected of the Rapids in this game. I can tolerate a loss on the road to a good Eastern Conference team. However, I cannot tolerate playing to poorly that you grab just a solitary shot on the opposing teams goal.
