Attacking power was released last night by the Rapids and the best offensive duo in MLS, Conor Casey and Omar Cummings, did nothing but harm although one unlikely goal by right back Kimura (only japanese in MLS!) was enough to make the difference. Great night by Jon Busch and SJ's defense which always kept the hope on for the Quakes saving and stopping all attempts created by this full feared couple of forwards until minute 94.
Rapids midfield was able to stop Wondo from generating occasions and Johnson was a not as free as he found himself against the Red bulls. The MLS scoring leader, Chris Wondolowski, only had 1 shot on goal all night.
I liked the gest of Pablo Mastroeni when he received the "Eastern Conference Champions" cup and instead of raising it alone as the captain he went down to the floor and make it all team raise it. What a team player he is, I really like his attitude and leadership.
On the other hand, Don Garber has to change this format for next year urgently, either change the name of the title or the fixture format, but it is kind of odd watching a Western Conference team winning the Eastern Conference title. It just does not look right and might damage MLS image in the future.
At this stage of the playoffs I would like to see LA Galaxy's defense against this Rapids attacking duo, It's gonna be exciting, but we still missing tonight's game at 9:00 PM ET to decide the other team in the MLS CUP 2010.
