4:1 Colorado New York Nyassi 3 Thompson Henry 07.20.11 · League

Two weeks ago, Metro mauled Toronto, and everything seemed alright. Oh, what a difference these 14 days make... Tonight, it was Metro who got mauled, getting taken apart by Colorado in a despicable 4:1 loss.

Teemu Tainio was a late scratch and it proved costly, as Mehdi Ballouchy was forced to play defensive midfield. And he and partner Dax McCarty made a meal of it, leaving oodles of open space in front of the defense.

Colorado's Sanna Nyassi used the space well, splitting the defense, breaking through on goal, and slotting it in just two minutes into the game. In the 26th minute, a Nyassi long shot rebounded off the post right to an unmarked Wells Thompson, and the douchebag made it 2:0. And five minutes later, Nyassi once again split the defense to make the rest of the game a formality... only to do the same in the 61st to get his hat-trick. Titi Henry got Metro's first goal since that Toronto game in the 67th.

We could write more, and find faults, and point the finger, and... Well, it's not worth it.

Don't worry, fans. Emirates Cup is coming soon!!!!!

Lineup: Rost, Miller, Ream, Mendes, Solli, Ballouchy, McCarty, Lindpere, Richards, Henry, Agudelo. Subs: Albright.
