PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it’s a long show. Rabbi and Red banter about chief scout Chris Zitterbart leaving the club for Philadelphia Union. Also, what does Jesse Marsch getting the Canada job mean for Moïse Bombito? Those Jared Watts Tweets might have broken Pids Twitter.

We recap that game against San Jose Earthquakes. Were the three offside goals correctly called? How good were Rafael Navarro and Omir Fernandez? Is it time to talk about Sam Vines? What went wrong defensively and why did the team collapse? Also, good for William Yarbrough in his first return to DICK’s Sporting Goods Park. 

Then we look ahead to the Pids first Double Game Week of the season. Are Vancouver Whitecaps an MLS dark horse? What can we expect from Ryan Gauld and Brian White? Then we look ahead to Leg 2 of the Rocky Mountain Cup. Chicho Arango is scoring goals for fun. Real Salt Lake are top of the Western Conference. It’s a big week for Colorado, especially given how Saturday went. 

We end the show with some Ask HTHLs. There’s lots of players talk. Also, who wins in a battle between RapidMan and Leo the Lion. Also, about those Jared Watts tweets.
