Rapids GM Discusses the DP

By: Clint | Comments 3 Comments

Yahoo! Sports had a frank discussion with Rapids GM Jeff Plush about the DP spot and what Colorado could realistically do with it. Highlights of the article include:

For plenty of European-based superstars who could be tempted to follow David Beckham to the United States, Denver doesn’t fit their picture of an ideal American adventure. “We [...]

From the Denver Post:
After playing in England’s exhibition loss to Germany on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium and on Thursday for Los Angeles in a loss to Chivas USA, Galaxy star David Beckham is unlikely to play Sunday when his team visits Colorado to face the Rapids.

One More Chance to Not See Beckham this Weekend

By: Clint | Comments 3 Comments

Wednesday (that’s tomorrow unless you live in Australia) at 10am - the Rapids will be selling $15 standing room only tickets to see the Galaxy play the Rapids this Sunday. Now that my doggie has got a clean bill of health, I’ll be there with pregnant wife in tow (see, she’s so heavy now she [...]

What the Hell Is Going On?

By: Clint | Comments 3 Comments

I stop going to games and Colorado starts winning - no - shutting out opponents!
A 3-zip win over New England seems like a lie, but every web site reporting on the game that appears in the Google search results tells me that it’s true:

The Ledger from Florida
Soccer 365
AHN (whatever that is)
The Lexington Dispatch
Market-Day.net in [...]

Who Wants Two Tix to the Rapids-Revs Game?

By: Clint | Comments 1 Comment

I’m conceding again this week. Between family visiting and taking care of the new dog (who loves to barf), I’m going to have to give away my two tix for this Thursday’s Rapids game. They are in section 104 and if you want them for you, friends, or family, just let me know in the [...]

Colorado Fail to Score Again, Beat Houston

By: Clint | Comments 2 Comments

In what should come as no surprise, the Rapids won their first game in 10 tries by not scoring any goals. A De Rosario own goal (wasn’t he supposed to be the next star of MLS a year ago? what’s up with that?) was the only time the ball touched the back of the net. [...]

Looking for Some Answers

By: Clint | Comments 2 Comments

Seattle 5, Colorado 0

By: Clint | Comments 3 Comments

Can even the most blindly “loyal” Rapids fan rah rah now?
It’s been quite embarrassing to join the Rapids bandwagon this season, especially since the wagon appears to be a Radio Flyer with two wheels that have broken off, and a handle that has rusted into position and spins the thing in circles. Nevertheless, I’m still [...]

By: Clint | Comments 5 Comments

The Lamar Hunt US Open continues tonight for Colorado as the team faces the Seattle Sounders at Qwest Field. No TV that I’m aware of for this game, but the official Rapids website says we’ll be able to see the game online here.
