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 [...]
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 [...]
Rocky Mountain Cup Game 1

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. [...]
Careful Rapids, They Used to be The Houston Dynamo

”We tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you.”
-Neil Armstrong
The San Jose game comes to mind. Let’s just hope that this weekend isn’t a repeat of that game. The Earthquakes the Rapids played are very similar to Houston: poor scoring and [...]
How’s That DP Slot Treating You, DC?
By: Kyle | 2 Comments
Sometimes I think people talk about sports by saying really simple things in an overcomplicated way. For example: the Rapids game versus United on Sunday really comes down to which team shows up. In most of their games, the Rapids proved to be a formidable club capable of scoring a lot of goals. [...]
Chicago Fire - Colorado Rapids: Preview

Win your home games, draw your away. If you’ve followed soccer for any time, you’ve probably heard this strategy expressed. I, personally, hate draws. To me they’re hardly better than a loss. In fact they’re 2/3 of a loss and 1/3 of a win. In a playoff race, they’re just [...]
Rapids vs. Two Time League Champs and Expansion Team: Preview
By: Kyle | No Comments
Last year at Dick’s, there were two guys with season tickets next to mine. They were from San Jose, so I wasn’t surprised when one of them showed up to the All-Star Game wearing his old Earthquakes jersey (the ‘Quakes expansion was announced the day before). The conversation went something like this:
Me: “So [...]
Rapids Feeling Chuffed…and Why Not?
By: Jeff | 1 Comment
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 [...]
