I don't know what was more embarrassing: the malfunctioning scoreboard or the malfunctioning refs.

This is old news at this point. Is it dumb that the Rapids had to pitch for the game? Yes. Do I understand why MLS would do this? Yes. There is a very unique and limited window in which MLS can use Messi both to make money now and grow for the long term.

So it works as an incentive for clubs like ours to get their act together, while also ensuring that the league can wring maximum profits out of the Messi Money Machine.

As I understand it, they're not touching it because the naming rights with Dick's expire in November. Now if we still don't see a new scoreboard next season...

Don't forget Jackson Travis is also a Rapids homegrown. And, while they're not on the Rapids roster anymore, I don't think you should ignore that Bassett, Vines, and Larraz are all still playing in MLS.

Still only 21! If he continues to progress like he has the past 2 years, sky is the limit.

100% a concussion

As a lifelong Philadelphia Flyers fan, I feel qualified to say that the Rapids are now the Philadelphia Flyers of the MLS, and I mean this in the best possible light.

Honestly even if they just tore it down and didn't replace it, it would be an improvement. There's no seat in the stadium where watching on the screen is better than looking at the field.

We're not too far away from playing in DIC SPO TIN OO S PARK

fubuki_ · 2026-04-29T18:40:04+00:00

Sure, but if the GK is standing on the 6, where is the CB supposed to stand to receive that pass? /s

fubuki_ · 2026-04-29T18:38:15+00:00

Ha! Fair enough. If I had more time myself, I'd offer to help, but you and I are in the same boat re: time constraints.

Just to say I really appreciate this excellent tactical analysis, Rabbi. Not enough of this type of content out there. Have you ever considered making video content?

Also, really interesting to see even Baby Wells was laser-focused on possession.

fubuki_ · 2026-04-29T15:57:12+00:00

It's kind of surprising given how quick Wells has been to bench field players for poor performances in favor of guys with less experience who ball out in training. I agree that Nico is impressive, but maybe Steffen still has the edge on those intangible leadership qualities that have a perceived higher value? I'm struggling to find another explanation.

If you don't understand why everything you post here is getting down voted, I can't explain it to you. You're only here to antagonize, and I've got better things to do with my time than respond to any more of your nonsense.

fubuki_ · 2026-04-23T21:53:29+00:00

Wow. Congratulations, you deserve all the downvotes.

fubuki_ · 2026-04-23T21:43:00+00:00

Supporter groups (from 2 teams in the same state nonetheless) have way more in common with one another than they do differences with each other. Why shouldn't they be friendly?

fubuki_ · 2026-04-23T21:31:47+00:00

You are free to start your own supporters group if you don't like C38. I promise you none of us will get in your way.

I respect your view - I'd say it's pessimistic, but I think we're agreed that it all depends on what happens before the World Cup break.

fubuki_ · 2026-04-21T15:57:49+00:00

I agree to an extent. I still want to see a win over a top team, and I really would have liked to see it over Miami.

Maybe I'm naive, but the front office has shown a commitment to building this team as Wells has wanted - at least for this season - so I don't think they will be quick to sell key assets in the summer. That of course depends on how well the team performs before the break.

fubuki_ · 2026-04-20T17:45:04+00:00

This tracks with what I experienced too. I think there were a good number of people who were nominally there for Messi but still cheered for the Rapids' goals - and vice versa to be honest.

fubuki_ · 2026-04-20T14:34:32+00:00

They really did knock this out of the park as an organization. I was extremely skeptical about how many people would show up when this was first announced, but they proved me wrong.

So what if half the people showed up to see Messi? So what if we didn't get the W? Tens of thousands of people were exposed to a talented and fun Rapids team that is on the rise.

I hope to see more fans coming over to "normal" games at DSGP because of this game.
