Colorado Rapids 2-0 Real Salt Lake
By Kyle | May 15th, 2008Throw all the trash you like, Salt Lakers. The Rocky Mountain Cup is coming back to Colorado. Let me start by offering a formal apology for predicting yesterday that Salt Lake would score a goal. That was shameful and, in retrospect, I don’t k ...
Houston Dynamo 2-1 Colorado Rapids
By Kyle | May 10th, 2008If you had told me before the game that a Rapids player would make a game losing error, literally the last person I would have guessed would have been Ugo Ihemelu. Other then the Ugo error, the Rapids continued pretty much every trend from their p ...
So Much Talent, Only Eleven Spots
By Kyle | May 7th, 2008One 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 ...
Colorado Rapids 2-0 DC United
By Kyle | May 4th, 2008How good are the Rapids? On Sunday, the Rapids outplayed DC United by any measure, and I still think they underperformed. I really think they could have scored three or four if they had just finished on a few of the opportunities they had in the fi ...
How’s That DP Slot Treating You, DC?
By Kyle | May 3rd, 2008Sometimes I think people talk about sports by saying really simple things in an overcomplicated way. For example: the Rapids game versus United on Sunday really comes down to which team shows up. In most of their games, the Rapids proved to be a fo ...
Post-Game Musings, My Essential Educability and the Extent to Which I'm Useful
By Jeff | April 2nd, 2008I think I have a plan now: barring too much ____ I will post three times a week - before the game, after the game, and, once a week, I'll probably post something like what appears below - e.g. a big check-up on all the Rapids news I can find. I've b ...
"Attacking Midfielder Not A Priority" . . . ?
By Dave Martinez | March 28th, 2008This is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most seasoned Red Bulls fan : "Attacking Midfielder is NOT a Priority" Straight from the horses mouth. Just ask SBI. Juan Carlos Osorio believes that the combination of Reyna and Magee w ...
Feeling All Right, Rapids Fans? Wait...It'll Change...
By Jeff | March 25th, 2008Now, I really hate to do this, but I'm reading what I'm reading. The most for which you can hold me accountable is what I'm reading into things. Here goes... - Remember that somewhat recent loss to the Bermudan National Team (no? Here ya go!)? ...
The Rapids Attack! An Offensive Review
By Jeff | March 21st, 2008...hmm, that title isn't quite what I'm going for...and I can't link to some of the statistical stuff cited below because MLSnet.com was gummed up and lame at time of typing. Today, we get to the failing that doomed the Colorado Rapids’s 2007: namely
Rapids' Bermudan Banana Peel
By Jeff | March 17th, 2008Last 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,

Playing Ketchup
By Jeff | March 6th, 2008I just spent a few days off the grid and can't say I recommend it for precisely the same reason I don't go camping. I mean, a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into inventing all our modern conveniences. Not using them seems a little rude. A
Gomez to Rapids, Finally
By jon | February 7th, 2008Goff has it on good authority that Christian Gomez is finally going to be sent Colorado, in exchange for picks and money.* So, now that we've all had a little time to digest this, what do you think about this trade? Are we going to regret it? What if
First Day of Camp: Choosing Bunks, Making Friends Edition (Updated)
By jon | January 28th, 2008Well, it's about that time. DC United opened their training camp today, and while I could run over to the practice fields and spy on people, I won't. Goff is reporting that the full compliment of South Americans, including Marcelo Gallardo, Gonzalo Ma
As The (DCU) World Turns..
By jon | January 25th, 2008Get one last look at this guy, cause you'll never see him in a United jersey ever again. The drama has unfolded, and the damage has been done. Here's a basic recap of the drama. Gomez wants to get paid. He thinks he's a "million dollar player"

HOLY CRAP! Cannon to DCU??-Updated-TWICE
By jon | December 11th, 2007Goff is saying the deal could be done, or just in talks. I don't really have anything to say at this point. Cannon is an amazing keeper, and I've seen him stand on his head in numerous games. Perkins is pretty steady, if not prone to an occasional ment

TRAINING, WINNING AND ACQUIRING!
By Nando | February 13th, 2007Gomez is playing hard to get! The deal expires next winter and unless he agrees to a new contract, he'll be free to go elsewhere. The Middle East, Asia and South America are possibilities. Frankly I am not concerned, he has ten months to sign the contra
