Colorado Over LA - Yeah, It Was That Bad
By: Jeff |

I think this gets it about right:
Things didn’t look so bleak for the Los Angeles Galaxy by the end of the first half. And, yeah, one could argue Omar Cummings picked up a soft penalty kick; as Max Bretos noted in his commentary Cummings popped back to his feet to continue the play after [...]

With the season starting tomorrow (yippee!), I feel like there’s something I should mention: I don’t do predictions. A fitful history of blown calls - often very bad misses - argues against. As for previews, I’m happy to pass on breaking details like injuries (see Class VI’s interview with Fernando Clavijo for the [...]
The Rapids In Context*

* And in another space. Center Holds It, to be precise.
I just posted a Major League Soccer 2008 Western Conference preview over on that site and that feels like plenty. See where I fit the Rapids into that grand scheme.
One last thing: the commenting robot can be, well, an a-hole here on The [...]
Feeling All Right, Rapids Fans? Wait…It’ll Change…

Now, I really hate to do this, but I’m reading what I’m reading. The most for which you can hold me accountable is what I’m reading into things. Here goes…
- Remember that somewhat recent loss to the Bermudan National Team (no? Here ya go!)? If that loss didn’t leave you feeling [...]
A Rapids Win…done quick
By: Jeff | No Comments
(Dang it! Wrong Stephen Keel! Sorry to be brief, but life is attacking me right now…not much time…)
Looks like the Colorado Rapids ended their pre-season on a high in the lower part of our fair nation: they beat the Chicago Fire 1-0 on a goal scored by Stephen Keel. And, to [...]

A couple stray items to pass on ahead of the weekend. To begin, the Rapids meet the Chicago Fire Saturday (as in, tomorrow) in their final pre-season test before the 2008 season…in Mississippi…for some reason. After that, it’s the opener against the Los Angeles Galaxy and, what I’ll wager, is a certain 1-0-0 [...]
The Rapids Attack! An Offensive Review
By: Jeff | No Comments
…hmm, that title isn’t quite what I’m going for…and I can’t link to some of the statistical stuff cited below because MLSnet.com was gummed up and lame at time of typing.
Today, we get to the failing that doomed the Colorado Rapids’s 2007: namely, the ever-sputtering offense. If Toronto FC hadn’t suffered eternities of incompetence [...]
Rapids Preview: Dynamite “D” in Denver
By: Jeff | 2 Comments
I read somewhere that Colorado Rapids head coach Fernando Clavijo made building a solid defensive corps his top priority for 2007 (here? Yep; it’s toward the bottom). I’ll leave it to others to explain how taking care of half of the overall equation brought to fruition Clavijo’s “Three-Year Plan,” but the numbers argue [...]
Two Days of Previews Coming
By: Jeff | No Comments
It has been said that the first day of any league’s season feels like Christmas Day. If that hasn’t been said, well, I’m saying it here (and elsewhere…using almost exactly the same language…slacker). The thing is, this cuts both ways: much like with Christmas, you find an avalanche of obligations on top of [...]
Blue Skies Are Gonna Clear Up….
By: Jeff | No Comments
…when you play LA! (So my meter sucks. So sue me.)
I have to confess to some guilt if the post below left any visiting Colorado Rapids fans feeling a little blue heading into the season - then again, I’m also confident experience has made expert at adjusting expectations. And even if [...]
