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 ...
Week Eight Preview
By travis | May 15th, 2008Morning all. Or should I say good evening. I don't know what time it is, but I'm woozy because of a cold and getting on a plane to go to the middle of Australia. Should be good fun. Needless to say, I've put together this week's picks and previews ve ...
Rocky Mountain Cup Game 1
By Kyle | May 14th, 2008First of all, All-Star voting just started. I just put in my votes which featured a midfield consisting of the Rapids’ midfield and David Beckham. Let’s hope he can keep up with them. And now, on to the real fun: The Rocky Mountain Cup. Thi ...
Week Seven Recap: The Woeful West
By travis | May 13th, 2008Emergent trends are continuing. The Crew keep winning. DC keeps losing. United were the only team from this weekend's games to not find the net. They seem to have problems. The Galaxy couldn't outscore New York. However, some trends are changing - Sa ...
Week Seven Preview: The fun continues
By travis | May 8th, 2008This is the week where we can welcome Volkswagen as the second-highest paying jersey sponsor of MLS. Meanwhile, the Crew and Fire look to maintain their hold on the top, as DC United and the Dynamo look to break out of funks they can't seem to get ou ...
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 ...
Week Six Recap
By travis | May 5th, 2008After six weeks of MLS action, things are starting to become clearer. The Crew remain the hottest team, while DC United continues to play sub par, as do the Dynamo. Toronto FC continues to put solid results together, although they did have their thre ...
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 ...
Week Six Preview
By travis | May 1st, 2008And so it continues. Another week, another feeble attempt from me to act like I know what I'm talking about. Making picks for each match makes things fun; each game now means more to me. This week, I'm tired and don't have much to say. Here we go: ...
Bizarro MLS
By Dave Martinez | April 29th, 2008Through 5 weeks of the MLS season, one would have to wonder if things have been scripted by DC Comics. Its Bizarro World folks. And there is no denying it. + The Columbus Crew are in first place + Will Hesmer leads all keepers with 4 wins ...
Week Five Recap: I am terrible at predicting the future
By travis | April 29th, 2008So I'm not going to quit my day job. Over the past four weeks, I've proved completely useless at knowing the outcome of MLS matches. Considering I'm not psychic, I'll have to live with that fact. Which is fine by me. I can live with not being psychic ...
Chicago Fire 2-1 Colorado Rapids
By Kyle | April 26th, 2008Frickin’ Thorrington. This is going to sound really lame: scoring a goal against the Fire is a victory in itself; not a “worth three points” victory or a “anyone will care in a week” victory, mind you. It was more of a “moral victory ...
Chicago Fire - Colorado Rapids: Preview
By Kyle | April 25th, 2008Win your home games, draw your away. If you’ve followed soccer for any time, you’ve probably heard this strategy expressed. I, personally, hate draws. To me they’re hardly better than a loss. In fact they’re 2/3 of a loss and 1/3 of a win ...
Week Five Preview: It's still early
By travis | April 24th, 2008This weekend marks the end of the first month of MLS. And while a number of teams have struggled who we didn't expect to (DC, Houston) and a number of teams have had unexpected success (Toronto, San Jose), it's only the first month. There are still l ...
Rapids wird eines Spiel mit Deutche Fussballverein Borussia Mönchengladbach Plannen
By Kyle | April 23rd, 2008That’s the best I’ve got. I took German for three years and barely passed, so that’s as close as I can come to happily informing you that the Rapids are finally jumping in on the MLS tradition of hosting major foreign clubs on their preseason ...

Week Four Recap: Can I spell Unpredictable?
By travis | April 21st, 2008Another weekend, another string of results that shocked me. No offense to San Jose, but I didn't see them winning any games anytime soon, and to stick two goals on the supposedly resurgent Rapids was definitely impressive. Toronto got their second wi ...
Cancel the Viagra prescription, we scored (twice!)
By Melissa | April 19th, 2008I guess we actually scored three times but a few of us in the bar weren't sure why the Glinton goal got recalled (handball?). And after the recall, did it not cross your mind that maybe some asshole put San Jose under a freaky voodoo curse? Anyways ...
Rapids vs. Two Time League Champs and Expansion Team: Preview
By Kyle | April 18th, 2008Last year at Dick’s, there were two guys with season tickets next to mine. They were from San Jose, so I wasn’t surprised when one of them showed up to the All-Star Game wearing his old Earthquakes jersey (the ‘Quakes expansion was announced t ...
Enter the New Guy
By Kyle | April 18th, 2008I’m not making this up: I was going to use the Admiral Stockdale joke to introduce myself, too. Until I saw that Jeff already used it (But, I can link to the youtube clip. If you get through Quayle and Gore, Stockdale’s speech should give you a ...
San Jose v Colorado preview
By Melissa | April 17th, 2008A couple of stiff drinks at the bar on Saturday and this game will be like buttah. The MLS scheduling daemons couldn't be more cruel this time around. We're up against the current Western Conference champions and our new offensive help won't be ava ...
Rapids Feeling Chuffed...and Why Not?
By Jeff | April 17th, 2008The Official Organ larded their weekly update with happy statistics: there's Bouna Coundoul's goals-against average; Terry Cooke tied for the league lead on assists; seven goals scored by seven different players, etc. By the way, those seven goals n ...
Week Four Preview: Football. Futbol. Soccer.
By travis | April 17th, 2008Welcome to the fourth weekend of MLS action. Lots of craziness so far this season as each week has been as unpredictable as the last one. So you might say that it has been a predictably unpredictable season thus far. Regardless of that, a lot of team ...
A Game for the Stealin'
By Jeff | April 13th, 2008Name me one category in which the Colorado Rapids topped the New England Revolution. OK, defending...obviously. In spite of what I'll call "full-spectrum dominance," New England simply could not manage a clean shot over the full 90; on the occasion ...
Week Three Recap: Away gains
By travis | April 13th, 2008Well, finally. An away team with a victory, and it was the early game. The Revolution battered KC at Community America Ballpark, becoming the first team to grab three points away from home. That, plus a oops! my bad moment for Brad Guzan of Chivas US ...
Chance Myers starting...
By travis | April 12th, 2008The number one draft pick made his starting debut tonight against Houston. He made his first appearance of the season this week against the Revolution, and showed flashes of what could be a strong rookie season. Wonder if he'll make it the full 90 ...
Picture of the Day: The yellow-haired guardian
By Lugo | April 12th, 2008Outside of his native Santa Marta's Eduardo Santos Stadium, the statue of former MLS and Colombian National Team Superstar Carlos Valderrama shines whith its bronze yellow hair. The picture is rather old as the statue was actually washed today, b ...
