"They have made a good choice with the struggling New England Revolution."
That was from my preview a few days ago.
Yep, the Rapids destroyed the New England Revolution, uhhh, 1-0 Sunday night for July 4th festivities in front of 41,979 fans. Okay, when I say destroyed, I mean scraped by, but still...
Unfortunately, they were expecting closer to 61,000 fans. 20,000 MIA. Ouch.
The crowd wasn't quite as good as expected, and the game wasn't quite as good as expected.
Enjoy my article on American Soccer News for more.
Read the version on my website (date: 7/5/04) if you find that American Soccer News was destroyed in the Great Internet Meltdown Virus (GIMV) of '07.
