To their credit, Colorado refused to fold, as we saw them do often last season. They continued to hold the ball in the midfield and make smart runs forward. A combination of some fine defensive work by Dallas and some youthful inexperience — along with some clear chemistry issues between a lot of the newbies to the team — kept the Rapids off the scoreboard in the end, but it certainly wasn't for lack of trying.
