Hello Colorado Soccer fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we open up with friend of the pod Daniel Sperry’s Calvin Harris interview after the game on Saturday. Then we talk about the Luïc Williams signing. 

Rabbi and Red banter about Hudson River Blues shutting down (rest in peace) and Sam Vines to Houston Dynamo. We think it’s a good fit for the Vines Back. The we break down that 1-4 victory against Sporting KC. Matt Wells Ball arrived. Paxten Aaronson and Wayne Frederick had their best performances for the club. 

The guys talk international window, World Cup qualifying, USMNT, and Luïc Williams. 

With no Rapids game this weekend, we touch on Denver Summit FC hosting The Kickoff, their first home game this Saturday at Mile High Stadium at noon. We answer some very good Ask HTHLs. 

We had some technical difficulties recording and editing this episode. Apologies.
