It just has to be. The Rapids had the benefit of playing a DC team that was missing Jaime Moreno, Bobby Boswell and Ben Olsen; they had a 1-0 lead; and they weren’t hamstrung with Beckerman on the field. And the result? A 4-1 loss - their fifth straight beating. If anything good can come [...]

Where Is They Now? Junior Agogo
By: Clint | 2 Comments
After being loaned out for years by Sheffield Wednesday, Agogogo moved to the MLS where he got into one game for the Chicago Fire before being traded to the Rapids in 2000. So let’s see. Failure to consistently make the first team at: Sheffield Wednesday, Oldham Athletic (while on loan), Chester City (while on loan), [...]
The Wild World of the Rapids
By: Clint | 2 Comments
After the too-good-to-be-true start, the Rapids are falling back to their predictable, uninspired usual selves. Which I blame entirely on the coach. And, Beckerman. But what do the other sblogs have to say about Colorado this week? “Sblogs”? It’s short for Soccer Blogs. Yeah, I just made it up, so what? You wanna fight about [...]
Dallas - Colorado Instant Analysis
By: Clint | 2 Comments
Well, another loss has proven a few things that had been a trend recently but are now just damned facts:
Clavijo is, as we like to say in the office, having “issues”.
Gomez is turning into Wayne Rooney. And I love it.
Roberto Brown is averaging .7 fall-downs per minute played.
Arturo Alvarez has amazing moves. He wasn’t getting [...]

Part 1 of a new series here at RapidsBlog2007!TheHomeOfMadeUpInformationForYourColoradoRapids!

Today, we’ll make Nat Borchers’s fan happy [...]
All Day and Night, this Rapids Partay Wont Stop
By: Clint | No Comments
For folks obsessed with American Soccer, it’s hard to beat what the Rapids are offering tomorrow. Instead of rehashing all the games and promotions that will be going down at the Dick tomorrow (how’s that one, Laurie?), here’s a hasty copy-and-paste job:
Game #1 and Women’s Soccer Clinic
Women’s Soccer Celebration: Saturday’s match will also feature a [...]

By: Clint | 5 Comments
In all of MLS, the team with the most losses is Dallas. In all of MLS, the team with the most points is Dallas.
Also, other than RSL, Dallas has the worst goal differential in the west. Yet, they are, points-wise, the best team in the league. What a country!
Btw, I’ll be making my triumphant return [...]
Category: Team NewsCan Anyone Help Me Understand the MLS Salary Cap?
By: Clint | 4 Comments
My tiny little mind gets smooshed when I see all these rumors about the Galaxy getting [insert fading star here] and I see that Landy and Becks alone are like triple the salary cap. I think there are two ‘exception’ spots for a team, right? Does the rest of the team’s combined base salaries have [...]
Category: Team NewsAre the Rapids Smelly Hippies?
By: Clint | 2 Comments
While the answer may seem easy (although, look at Beckerman - you KNOW that guy has spent serious time in Santa Cruz), this article from the Nie Times may shake your foundations.
To be fair, the Colo Colo Rapids aren’t the team in discussion, but the U-23 version of the Rapids are. An amateur, minor league [...]
How About a Carnival of Freein’ Tibet?
By: Clint | 1 Comment
Inspired by the RSL entry about what happened at the RSL-China game, I tried to find information about any protests at the Rapids-China game and found no “legit” news or columns mentioning a thing. Luckily, Black Panther does a phenomenal job at digging into the whys and the whats and the how-do-you-do’s regarding Team China’s [...]
