Just when the world though that Jermaine Jones was about to go off and have himself a superb season, he has put in three very average performances.

It’s been awhile since the Colorado Rapids could optimistically look at a season and think something along the lines of ‘we got this’. They have been facing rough times, even in MLS’s ever-fluctuating landscape. Nobody scored less goals than the Rapids last year. The year before that, nobody gave up more goals. This year got […]
