Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week in soccer, the World Cup Final is here. Thanks FIFA, MLS will take it from here. Lol.
Mark and Matt get caught up on the World Cup. We chat about the semifinals and discuss Spain vs Argentina. AI and some hackers might have ruined Red’s week and his soccer blogging for the long term.
The guys touch on Rapids transfer news. It’s been quiet on the Lucas Herrington front. He did make the MLS All-Star game though! Also the random suspect South America accounts are talking about Rafael Navarro again.
We preview Colorado Rapids vs San Diego and the critical four games to start the MLS Clausura. Then we get through that backlog of Ask HTHLs. Jody Robins, we got you.
