That Hurt

Fire 3, Rapids 2
It’s not just a loss, it’s foreshadowing. Up until now, the Rapids had shown real potential. They were in a great position to finish in the top two in the West, the top four overall, and qualify for next season’s SuperLiga. I know SuperLiga ain’t the most prestigious tournament, but with the [...]

More International Call-ups

It’s the downside of having a good scouting system: as soon as any foreign Rapids player gets good, they get snagged by their national team. But, for having a keeper like Bouna in the nets or a forward like Omar up front, it’s the price you pay. Both Bouna Coundoul and Omar Cummings [...]

I mentioned it in the recap, but we should really flood the box for Connor Casey’s goal as Goal of the Week. It was an amazing, last-second, game-winning, hat-trick-clinching strike. So vote early and often Rapids fans. We really don’t get enough of these.

How did New York win the Super Bowl? They peaked at the end of their season, going into the playoffs. That’s a different sport, of course, but it’s a good lesson to remember: to win a title, you have to finish strong. And so far, the Rapids are doing just that.
It’s hard [...]

What was with the end of that match? Calling the game in the middle of a breakaway? Next to just before a PK, that is the most absurd time a ref could possibly call a game in soccer. If you watched the game from your home (at least the part that made [...]

Who doesn’t love a giant-killer game? Despite being at home, the Rapids were the dogs on Sunday and they knew it. They had to shut down Blanco and McBride, and they did it. That’s going to (or at least should boost the confidence). It should also help that this was our [...]
Category: Team NewsBye Bye Herculez
By: Kyle | No Comments
I should probably mention this trade: Herculez was sent to Kansas city in exchange for early draft picks. Not to say that I won’t miss the first player to score at Dick’s; he has a lot of fans, but as it stands now, this probably comes out in the “win” column. We don’t [...]

WE NEEDED THAT. Big time.
Props to Terry Cooke on his service on that corner; he did a good job spotting the coverage lapses. It was probably more of a Dallas error than a Rapids play that scored, but a big part of soccer is capitalizing on errors. And Mike did just that.
Tight [...]

When you talk about the Rapids’ defense, you don’t always call them great, but you usually don’t call them sloppy. The goals themselves, particularly the first two, were pretty incredible, and it’s hard to fault them for not stopping those, but they just allowed way too many chances for DC. DC had 15 [...]

By: Kyle | 2 Comments
It’s finally happened. The Rapids have let go of their coach, Fernando Clavijo. Surprisingly, Gary Smith is going to take over for him on an interim basis, whatever that means. I say surprisingly, because it seemed like the Rapids have been preening assistant coach John Murphy for the job. He’s been [...]
