Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we’ve got more big news and a triple game week. Oh the Rob Holding DOGSO.
The guy banter about Leander Schaerlaeckens’ new book “The Long Game” about the USMNT. Also we’ve got takes on VARsenal probably winning the Premier League.
We break down the 0-1 loss to St. Louis CITY, wind, the controversial red card, and more. Are we worried? Is it now panic time? And what does this say about next week?
We then look ahead to the two games this week. There will be squad rotation against James Rodriguez and Minnesota United. Real Salt Lake is doing some new things tactically under Pablo Mastroeni. They’ve got wingers who are vibes, not just Diego Luna.
Oh, and the MLSPA dropped the player salaries. We do a deep dive on what you need to know about the Burgundy Boys getting paid.
Here’s Red’s article about the player salaries.
