Communication was great.

The bottom line on giving up a goal in the game against the Galaxy is that the Colorado Rapids had a breakdown in communication which directly led to an easygoal for the Galaxy. The Rapids quickly fixed that problem on the pitch and gave up no more goals for the duration.

This game communication looked great on the defensive end. Tim Howard and company were out thereyelling at each othermaking sure everyone was on the same page after every shot that was saved. I said the Rapids needed to give up no free goals to the Earthquakes and I wouldn’t count the one goal they did give up as a free goal due to miscommunication.

Offensively the communication was strong as well. The Colorado Rapids had an89% overall passing accuracy for the game on 591 passes. They were crossing the ball to setup shots on a consistent basis and had18 crossesthroughout the match.

All Rapids were communicating at a high level and this led to aggressive play and some new heroes stepping up as I’ll talk about soon.
