PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids fans and UP THE ****ING PIDS! This week on Holding The High Line, THE RAPIDS beat Club America! Rabbi and Red banter about Moïse Bombito officially going OGC Nice. Check out our special exit interview with Moïse here.

Then we bask in the joy of that win over America. The game plan worked and the players executed it very well. Colorado still played like the smaller team at times. It was another 50/50 game they found a way to win. We relive the penalties heroics from Zack Steffen AGAIN. Liga MX fans are coping and maybe finally seeing the excuses MLS fans made for years during the Conca Champions.

They we’ve got a really good Ask HTHL on comparing Chris Armas to Coach Lasso. We preview LAFC as Colorado look to get their first ever result at BMO Stadium. Kei Kamara is still there. Olivier Giroud is available. There could be no more fitting test for the Rapids than to finally go on the road to the black and gold and try and win. They’ve played six road games against LAFC and lost all of them. Total score 17-2. Perhaps this is the way that streak has to end? One final exorcism to make their first final since 2010?

Also we do a Rapids history side quest. Here’s the link to that World Soccer Talk article.
