Better late than never

Now that I'm in the zone I've gotten around to throwing down some player ratings for the Colorado Open Cup game. I did take a chance to review the highlights and discovered that the full match is still up on youtube. Right here, for those interested in a rewatch.

But, since I mostly use stats to calculate ratings, I didn't put that much thought into it. Here's how the ratings came out.

Colorado Rapids
Matt Pickens	4.7
Scott Palguta	4.4
Tyrone Marshall	4.7
Kosuke Kimura	4.7
Hunter Freeman	4.0
Martin Rivero	4.7
Jeff Larentowicz	4.7
Jaime Castrillon	5.1
Ross LaBauex	4.0
Tony Cascio	4.4
Kamani Hill	4.7
Edu	5.1
Wells Thompson	4.7
Andre Akpan	4.4
Sporting Kansas City
Jimmy Nielsen	6.1
Chance Myers	6.1
Aurelien Collin	5.8
Matt Besler	6.1
Seth Sinovic	6.1
Julio Cesar	4.7
Lawrence Olum	4.4
Jacob Peterson	5.1
Peterson Joseph	5.1
Graham Zusi	4.7
Teal Bunbury	6.5
Soony Saad	4.4
CJ Sapong	5.8

And so, with that, the man of the match against Colorado was SKCs own Teal Bunbury. I thought he had a really good game and I hope this means he's found his form. We could really use a target man with the scoring touch while Kei is out on international duty, or while Kei is still with the team, for that matter. I think the defence has looked good all season, but scoring more than once and scoring during the run of play is what I want to see more of if we're going to make a real claim for the MLS Cup.
