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 [...]

A) The Colorado Rapids beat the Los Angeles Galaxy like red-headed step-children last weekend.
B) The Los Angeles Galaxy are a bad soccer team.
Therefore, the Colorado Rapids can beat a bad soccer team like red-headed step-children.
C) The Los Angeles Galaxy beat the San Jose Earthquakes last night, a team widely regarded as being worse than they [...]
Rapids’ Bermudan Banana Peel
By: Jeff | No Comments
Last Friday (or whenever March 14 was), the Colorado Rapids lost to the Bermudan National Team, the same team, mind, the New England Revolution beat 8-1 on aggregate back in February. The 2-1 loss doesn’t make for the happiest of reading for Rapids fans, but, hey, Herculez Gomez played and scored…that’s some kind of [...]
MacManus Cometh: Is Buying Scottish Buying Enough?
By: Jeff | 2 Comments
To catch up on day-old news, there’s talk of a Scottish striker joining the Colorado Rapids: as you might have read on such sites as Black Panther: A Soccer Blog and Rapids Class VI, Colorado is negotiating with Dunfermline’s Thomas Kelly “Tam” MacManus. Now, to complete The Simpsons allusions, consider me the comic book [...]

On the off chance anyone still reads this blog (havin’ a baby and being thrown into a job you don’t really want can cause havoc in a person’s schedule), here is my 1996-style attempt to “drop some science” about the Rapids and their latest whereabouts and a-happenings:
Showing how pathetic I’ve been this month, my favorite [...]

…because the Keelster himself, when not stopping Beckham from scoring against Colorado (have you seen Mr. High and Mighty Becks score even one vs. the Rapids this year? I think not!) will be making appearances all season loonnnnng. Including this weekend in my hometown of Parker!
You read that right – Keel will be at O’Brien [...]

Meet former Mexican national team forward Daniel Osorno.
I know absolutely nothing about Daniel other than the blurb I just read online. He last played for CF Atlas in Mexico’s first division, scoring 61 goals for the club in 278 games. He scored 12 goals in 56 appearances for Mexico.
Osorno played with Atlas from 1997-2003, was [...]
Prayer #1 Has Been Answered

The Rapids have helped the worst team in MLS become even worse by trading Beckerman for Mehdi Ballouchy. I have no clue what Mehdi will be like (I don’t even remember seeing him on the field when we saw RSL play at the Dick), but he will be an upgrade (especially since he plays attacking [...]
Rapids Finally Get a Win
By: Clint | 1 Comment
…as long as Colorado can keep playing sub-MLS teams, we should be in for a great summer!
A 3-1 win over the CalVictory in the Lamar Hunt Cup (or, is it the U.S. Open Cup? I get confused, and scared, by these things) means the team will play Chivas on July 18 after the Hell A [...]
