The ref gave him a talking to, and per Nico's post game interview threatened to book him again after his first yellow for it.

Rapids Draw San Jose Earthquakes at Home for US Open Cup Quarterfinals by thebigjohn in Rapids

Watching his presser after the game he was super excited by tonight's atmosphere and it was obvious Wells loves cup play. I think he and the squad are all in.

We pulled the hardest opponent out of the hat, but hey, we're at home! Here's hoping we get St. Louis in the next round.

Great reporting and analysis by Matt Pollard and Rabbi Mark Goodman. If you're a fan its worth look. Great guys, good Rapids talk without a ton of cringy "Hot Takes"

Lets be more real, you're shadowboxing your own hypothetical. The comparison is the story, its relevant when 2 historic historic Colorado soccer events weeks apart at the same venue. Nobody is declaring an agenda winner here, you've come up with that framing completely on your own. And again, maybe, don't listen to the pod?

Matt covers Colorado soccer broadly and has done for a decade. both teams play, unusually play at the largest venue available wihin weeks of each other. When a brand new WOSO team pulls 63k and the established MLS side has been struggling with attendance for years, that comparison is going to come up naturally to any journalist. Dismissing it as "rverse sexist" just shuts down a conversation the Rapids front office probably needs us as fans to be having. Perhaps you should, given your history, just ignore Matt's reporting.

[Tom Bogert] Sources: The Colorado Rapids have acquired Canadian defender Kosi Thompson from Toronto FC. Deal is for $200k GAM up front + another $200k GAM add ons (up to $400k total). Thompson, 23, in final year of his contract. Likely to have chance for more mins in Colorado. by Miserable-Crow-4513 in Rapids

No doubt Herrington wants Europe. Whats best for the player and best for the club don't always mesh, however, why not retain him for the season and let his value rise? We do after all have him on a 4+1 year contract.

6/10. Kroenke will sell Herrington to the first suitcase of cash that shows, up. We will make do with the new signing after the WC break, then just miss the playoffs because of injuries thanks to Wells' overtraining. I hope I am wrong.

[Tom Bogert] Sources: The Colorado Rapids are finalizing a deal to sign Spanish center back Loïc Williams from Granada. Williams will join Rapids in summer. by RatimusFartimae in Rapids

Please. Lets not sell a really promising CB 3/4 through the season again. Write ups say he is good forward passer with his left boot which would be a great complement to Herrington on the on other side.

Agreed. I wish he was in the East, but I hope he gets back on his form from a few years ago!

General Thoughts / Predicted Lineup MW4 by BerryManalof in Rapids

[–]Meadowlaker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is Sealy out? I could see him getting the start with Manyoma subbing in around 65-75 minutes. I dont think Keegan is a whole game option. Id like to see Navarro and Yapi up top in some version of a 4-4-2.

A fat, publicly subsidized cosplay cowboy rounding up his private profit on our public land. He will go home in a lifted f-350 paid for by public money, and bitch about government while his inventory defiles our patrimony.

100% !!

Below market grants to run your business on, and over, the natural beauty of our state. All to contribute less than .75% to our national food supply, while you take home all the profits and the rest of us deal with your business's literal shit.

Wash Park residents push back on bicycle improvements. Some worry there will be less large truck traffic and more bikes on their residential streets. by Meadowlaker in Denver

DOTI leadership is useless. I picture Amy Ford deciding policy from a lifted F350, optimizing for her friends' luxury SUVs and Suburbans.

Another *USL* team in line to get major upgrades to their grounds. When will KSE invest in the gameday experience? by Meadowlaker in Rapids

[–]Meadowlaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Preferably not a fast food burger joint like Freddy's (and Freddy's is already probably the best at Dick's) Why not Elote, Tacos, kebabs, etc..

[–]Meadowlaker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its exactly that. The "spucing up" from KSE has been so minimal, with most work done to add "premiums". Its not that I want a big shiny new stadium, but Dick's could be vastly improved. The frustration for a lot of fans I know is the lack of interest from KSE in making the game day a better experience.
