3rd Kit on the Way

By: Kyle | Comments 1 Comment

I’m timid to post this because I really have no news to report beyond what’s on the Rapids website, but the Rapids seem to be adding a third kit to their closet. According to the Rapids’ website, the new kit will debut in the friendly against Tigres next Wednesday, the 9th. They have [...]

Colorado Rapids 0-0 Houston Dynamo

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

Have you ever seen a 0-0 game that was so close to being a 3-3 game before? Between crossbars, narrow misses, great saves, and Brian Ching handballs, there couldn’t have been a more misleading scoreline.
The Rapids looked a lot like they wanted to use this home game as an opportunity to reverse their recent [...]

Pablo’s Coming Home

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

US Soccer has published a list of players who have been released from international duty. It looks like we’ll have our captain back for the game against Houston. That should help with Houston’s midfield. It was good of Bob Bradley to do this considering the pointlessness of Sunday’s USA match.
Canada on the [...]

July 9: Colorado Rapids – UANL Tigres

By: Kyle | Comments 2 Comments

I’ve been waiting for this match a long time. I’ve really been looking forward to the Rapids participating in the USA – Mexico rivalry. For those who don’t know, UANL is actually a collegiate club who participates in Mexico’s Premier Division. It’s been a long time since they’ve won the Mexican Championship, [...]

Toronto 3-1 Colorado Rapids

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

If the Rapids play all of the game without Pablo and half of it without Christian and we can expect this kind of thing to happen. At least there was a good reason that Pablo was out (in my book, he scored that goal for the USA), but I’m really not sure why Christian [...]

Western Conference Ramblings

By: Kyle | Comments 3 Comments

I feel a bit like splitting hairs today. So here goes:
The Rapids have been in first place in the West for a good portion of the year. I have little doubt that they will finish the season there, unless something big changed. But a question comes to mind when thinking about the [...]

LA Galaxy 3-2 Colorado Rapids

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

…without Landon. That’s a lot of for a team to score without someone who scores about a third of their goals. That was a midfield battle if I ever saw one. There’s no two ways about it: we need Pablo, even with the brilliance of Christian in the central midfield.
Pablo’s presence might [...]

Kansas City Wizards 2-2 Colorado Rapids (5-3 pens)

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

No Open Cup matches this year for the Rapids. They crashed out of qualification on penalty kicks last night. It’s a little disappointing, as the Wizards played one man down during extra time. Even so, it went to penalties and Erpen hit the crossbar on the fourth kick (wouldn’t have guessed that). [...]

Midweek Roundup

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

Colorado Rapids 2-1 Dallas: I can’t believe it, but I never did post a comment on the game last Sunday, and it was a beaut’. The Rapids used their normal relentless style of play, but also slipped one in in the 6th just for good measure. If Tom keeps scoring like that, the [...]
