Welcome to the apocalypse, Rapids fans. We hope you like Wooden Spoons. This week, we discuss the delayed Vancouver game and the wild night Matt had regardless of no soccer being played. We do try to guess when that match will be rescheduled. Spoiler: We recorded before the announcement that it’ll be played September 27.

The guys banter about the Gold Cup. We talk big picture about the draw with LA Galaxy and highlight some individuals and tactical ideas. Then we give Colorado Rapids 2 their flowers, as they sit top of the table in MLS NEXT Pro. Lastly, we look ahead to the first road game at St. Louis CITY on Saturday.
