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 [...]

There are games, and then there are big games. Sunday, the Rapids have big game. There are two (maybe three) Western Conference powers this year and they meet Sunday at Dick’s.
Let’s look at the numbers: Dallas is a very average club. Their goal scoring average is 0.05 under the league average [...]
Open Cup Qualifying Starts Today
By: Kyle | No Comments
The Rapids start their Open Cup season on Tuesday with a game against the Gals at the Home Depot Center. I kind of hope the team fields a semi-serious squad. LA is missing Donovan and Beckham due to the USA vs. England match on Wednesday (on a side note: I’m kind of glad [...]

Colorado Rapids 1-2 Chivas USA
The Bad News: The Rapids played sloppy soccer versus the goats. As Pablo aptly said at halftime, they “couldn’t make a pass to save their life”. They tried their normal attack strategy, but opportunities don’t develop if you can’t make passes. The only shots on goal the Rapids [...]
The Goats are Coming
By: Kyle | No Comments
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 [...]
Colorado Rapids 2-0 Real Salt Lake
By: Kyle | 2 Comments
Throw all the trash you like, Salt Lakers. The Rocky Mountain Cup is coming back to Colorado.
Let me start by offering a formal apology for predicting yesterday that Salt Lake would score a goal. That was shameful and, in retrospect, I don’t know what I was thinking. I will put forth great [...]

First of all, All-Star voting just started. I just put in my votes which featured a midfield consisting of the Rapids’ midfield and David Beckham. Let’s hope he can keep up with them.
And now, on to the real fun: The Rocky Mountain Cup. This should be another exciting year in Real underperformance. [...]
So Much Talent, Only Eleven Spots
By: Kyle | 1 Comment
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 [...]
Colorado Rapids 2-0 DC United
By: Kyle | No Comments
How good are the Rapids? On Sunday, the Rapids outplayed DC United by any measure, and I still think they underperformed. I really think they could have scored three or four if they had just finished on a few of the opportunities they had in the first half. That’s how good they [...]
