Colorado Rapids 0-1 Toronto

By: Kyle | Comments 1 Comment

Oh no.
Not a good outing for the Rapids on Saturday. The bad news is the Rapids seem to be falling back into their old habit of choking on great scoring opportunities. Our midfield is still class, but the goals just aren’t coming. When the midfield has to resort to 30 yard blasts, [...]

Colorado 1-2 Everton; Slipping in the West

By: Kyle | Comments 2 Comments

The Toffees pulled of a win in the 87th beating the Rapids on Sunday and leaving the US with a 1-1 record. They looked much fitter then they (reportedly) did against Chicago, so I guess they adapted to the air quicker than I hoped they would.
The turnout was good (about the same as any [...]

Sunday: Colorado Rapids – Everton Toffees

By: Kyle | Comments 1 Comment

Man, it’s been a slow week; kind of a downer, really. Between that and the loss against Columbus which was more of a fist fight than a soccer game, if this were a bye week like originally scheduled, the only thing keeping me going would be the knowledge that the first football game of [...]

Christian scores for the All-Stars

By: Kyle | Comments 1 Comment

Not a lot to say other than: that’s why we love Christian here in Colorado. The other good news is that Stevie seemed to know a bit better than the voters and started Christian AND Pablo. So the midfield started with Beckham, Gomez, Mastroeni, and Joseph. That gives any club in the [...]

Dallas 2-2 Colorado Rapids

By: Kyle | Comments 2 Comments

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 | Comments 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 [...]

San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 Colorado Rapids

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

Colorado Rapids 0-0 UANL Tigres (Unofficial: 6-5 pens)

By: Kyle | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

Third Kit Out

By: Kyle | Comments 7 Comments

“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 [...]

Colorado Rapids 4-0 New York Red Bulls, America Still Awesome

By: Kyle | Comments 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 [...]
