Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we again have too much to discuss. We banter about the Darren Yapi U22 contract extension. And we do some International Roster slit arbitrage math with Rob Holding getting his green card.
HTHL recaps the I-25 Derby game that had everything. Colorado Springs Switchbacks and Yosuke Hanya were good. There was that Kosi Thompson red card and the Josh Atencio handball. The penalty shootout. But also rest in peace Ryan Sabin.
We then talk about the Houston Dynamo game. There’s not much to judge given the injuries. But is this fixture congestion or a bigger concern about Matt Wells Ball?
The guys then look ahead to St. Louis CITY. It’s a get right game for the injured Pids.
Oh, and Kei Kamara retired.
Check out Rabbi’s latest edition of Backpass. It is an EXCELLENT piece on Matt Wells’ tactics.Â
