One thought on “Podcast: Rapids Toluca Leagues Cup Preview”
  1. Haven’t listened to the podcast yet, but the Rapids have no shot of defeating Toluca. The Rapids don’t have the talent to compete at the MLS level and for sure don’t have the talent to trouble Toluca. Toluca’s bench could beat the Rapids.

    Brace yourselves as this could be a blowout. Toluca 4, Rapids 0.

    Another trophy out of the Rapids’ reach. Two weeks to practice with the new players and prepare for leage play to restart against LAFC who could potentially be coming off of a Leagues Cup victory.

    12 games left in the regular season, three straight road games against playoff caliber teams after the restart. The Rapids believe they are so close to contention for a playoff spot, yet to this point in the season, they haven’t scored or won at a pace that would make them a playoff contender. The Rapids need to win, what, at least 6 games and hope for the teams above them to completely fall off? Yep, that sounds realistic for this team.
