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 [...]

Chivas USA is not a bad club. At least they’re not a bad club like Houston and San Jose are bad clubs. They are superbly average. When Chicago’s or even Houston’s midfield is setting up an attack, I get nervous, but not so with Chivas USA. That is, with one exception: Kljestan. That kid [...]
Rapids’ Depth Gets Deeper at Keeper
By: Kyle | 2 Comments
The big problem down the road for the Rapids: their keeper is too darn good. Bouna is going to Senegal to help his country qualify for the World Cup. This was bound to happen, as Bouna got his first cap last summer in the African Cup of Nations and Senegal’s manager was impressed [...]
So Much Talent, Only Eleven Spots

One of the best problems a soccer team can have is having too many good players to field them all. That, and the ability to adapt the line-up to different opponents, is a sign of a good soccer team. The Rapids have both.
The biggest question on my mind as we await the game [...]
Rapids Feeling Chuffed…and Why Not?

The Official Organ larded their weekly update with happy statistics: there’s Bouna Coundoul’s goals-against average; Terry Cooke tied for the league lead on assists; seven goals scored by seven different players, etc. By the way, those seven goals not only ties the Rapids with conference rivals Chivas USA in goals scored, they also have [...]
A Game for the Stealin’
By: Jeff | No Comments
Name me one category in which the Colorado Rapids topped the New England Revolution. OK, defending…obviously. In spite of what I’ll call “full-spectrum dominance,” New England simply could not manage a clean shot over the full 90; on the occasions when they did, Bouna (Time!) Coundoul played the role of Johnny-on-the-spot to perfection. [...]
Rapids Salaries: The Highs, the Lows…the things that confuse you
By: Jeff | 1 Comment
Just when I thought I could get away with one post today, the Major League Soccer Players’ Union goes and releases the salary numbers…commie bastards…
Having rambled way down below – they say people resort to verbosity to cloak ignorance, y’know – I’ll keep things short here. I can handle most of what I’m seeing [...]
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 [...]
