Man, what a week: Great league games, SuperLiga, the All-Star game, and the U-23 – Senior Team match on Wednesday. The Rapids in fourth place isn’t quite as nice as I would like it to be going into the unofficial halfway point of the season, but at only three points back, it’s about the [...]

All-Star Game to Have a Real Midfield
By: Kyle | 4 Comments
I could beat the dead horse of coastal bias, but that’s just the way the sports world works, so let’s skip to the good news: Pablo Mastroeni and Christian Gomez are officially All-Stars. Neither of them will start, but that’s how it is every year even though they are arguably the best central mids [...]

First off, I don’t want to hear any complaining from San Jose fans about Connor’s game tying goal. If we want to start talking about fouls, there were two or three goal preventing fouls by San Jose that weren’t even called. The Connor Casey non-call was perfectly consistent with the rest of the [...]

The Rapids – Tigres friendly went into the books as a scoreless draw, but apparently this whole match was put together by Tecate and they wanted to give a trophy to the winner, so they handed the trophy to the winner of an unofficial penalty shootout, which was the Rapids.
As for the match itself, it [...]
Category: Team NewsThird Kit Out

“Hey, how should we display the new kit?”
“Beautiful women in skimpier versions of it?”
“Brilliant!”
Apparently that’s the kind of conversation that goes on over at Rapids’ headquarters. On the other hand, if my friends and I were in charge of this, we probably would have come up with the exact same idea.
Picture of the new [...]

By: Kyle | No Comments
Does anyone know who’s in charge over at the Rapids’ website? Check out this headline on the front page: Rapids completely destroy New York on Independence Day. They don’t seem to be to big on subtlety. You can’t really say they’re wrong, though.
Have you ever seen the And1 basketball competitions? They’re [...]

There seems to be some trepidation every time I tell someone I celebrate the Fourth of July at a soccer game. In a sense, I can understand this inclination. Fireworks on the Fourth, if they are to be associated with a sport, seems like they should be over a distinctly American sport, the [...]

By: Kyle | 1 Comment
I’m timid to post this because I really have no news to report beyond what’s on the Rapids website, but the Rapids seem to be adding a third kit to their closet. According to the Rapids’ website, the new kit will debut in the friendly against Tigres next Wednesday, the 9th. They have [...]

By: Kyle | No Comments
Have you ever seen a 0-0 game that was so close to being a 3-3 game before? Between crossbars, narrow misses, great saves, and Brian Ching handballs, there couldn’t have been a more misleading scoreline.
The Rapids looked a lot like they wanted to use this home game as an opportunity to reverse their recent [...]

By: Kyle | No Comments
US Soccer has published a list of players who have been released from international duty. It looks like we’ll have our captain back for the game against Houston. That should help with Houston’s midfield. It was good of Bob Bradley to do this considering the pointlessness of Sunday’s USA match.
Canada on the [...]
