So today Rafa Marquez made some more waves in New York. Not the good kind either. Last night the Red Bulls got their clocks cleaned on their home pitch by Real Salt Lake. Of course, it wasn't Rafa's fault at all. It couldn't be, I mean he's a DP. Today, through an interpreter, he leveled some pretty harsh words at his team.
First off, the Mexican super-ego said: "I think this is a team game and unfortunately there isn't an equal level between my teammates and me." Wow. I don't think you'd even hear that of Cristiano Ronaldo, the king of soccer egos. So, Rafa, how many MLS cups has NY won since your Golden Ass signed up? Oh, right, none. How has your individual performance been, particularly since Gold Cup? Oh, right, HORRIBLE.
He then called out Tim Ream and Teemu Tainio saying: "two terrible individual mistakes changed the game." Now, this is a true statement. Both Ream and Tainio messed up big time leading to RSL goals. However, it's one thing to have your coach call you out, it's another thing to have a teammate do it. Especially a teammate that gets payed a hell of a lot of money to play like garbage.
So we'll see what happens. The Red Bulls are obviously imploding. The only other team in the league right now that is failing as bad is the Rapids. *snort*
If Rafa and Ream want to check out some good central defense, all they need to do is watch Olave and Borchers.
