PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids fans! This week on Holding The High Line, we talk about playoffs? Playoffs!? We talk about PLAYOFFS!? Rabbi and Red discuss all things Rapids Galaxy Leg 1.

We banter about Inter Miami and Seattle Sounders “qualifying” for the Club World Cup. Also, KSE’s doing a whole arena district development around Ball Arena and yet there’s no movement on Victory Crossing or changes with DICK’s.

The guys break down that Decision Day loss to Austin FC. How much did Djordje Mihailović’s ankle sprain tank the game? What positives are there to take away? What else went right and wrong for Colorado that night that caused them to finish 7th and face the Gs? Adam Beaudry’s MLS debut though. We discuss.

Then we preview the Best-of-Three series with LA Galaxy. Kévin Cabral against his former team. Colorado with several players trying to come back from injury. How will Colorado approach these games? What can they do against Puig, Pec, and that counter attack? How do they get a result this Saturday? We have thoughts.
