Running the Rapids in Valencia
By: Clint | March 20th, 2007
As the Rapids are mere minutes away from destroying one of the top teams in Spain, the official team web site lets us know how the team’s performances have been coming along this pre-season:
- “The players and coaching staff got to experience ‘La Mascletada,’ a fireworks celebration that fills the entire city with the loudest explosions possible, celebrating life through noise based on the assumption that silence equals death.”
- “The entire city will be paralyzed today as everyone will celebrate the last day of “Las Fallas,” but will be able to recover and attend the match that will kick off at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday night.”
- “Rapids team captain Pablo Mastroeni became the proud father of his second child. His wife Kelly gave birth to a healthy daughter named Giuliana on Wednesday, March 14.”
Um. I take it back. Apparently team news is not priority one on the Rapids official site. Oh wait, here’s something talking about coverage for today’s game vs. Valencia:
Altitude Sports and Entertainment, in cooperation with the Colorado Rapids, have sent a TV crew to Valencia with the team that is shooting a special behind the scenes show titled “Altitude on Location.” TV host Kyle Keefe is in Valencia capturing the Rapids’ soccer stories as well as the human interest, culinary, and cultural aspects of the city that is hosting the Rapids. This special edition, which is expected to show the international flair that is so unique to soccer, is scheduled to air in April on Altitude.

Colorado soccer fans will be able to read all about the Rapids vs. Valencia CF friendly match in the Denver Post on Wednesday, March 21. The Post will cover the game and has secured a photographer to send action shots from the international friendly back to Colorado. The game will be televised locally in Valencia by Canal 9.
Awesome! I love living in 1982!
Fortunately, a kind soul advised me of a way to pick up the game via the web. If I can pay attention to the game during meetings I’ll post live updates/scores.
