Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans! Holding The High Line is back! We discuss the USMNT World Cup that was amazing, until it wasn’t. Red recaps his experience getting to cover the World Cup. We give Lucas Herrington his flowers and his stars. We discuss the transfer window so far, Luïc Williams, and the Juarez friendly that we almost forgot existed.
We’ll be back soon as MLS returns to play and the Colorado Rapids start having games more regularly. It was great to have Red talk about his time covering the World Cup as credentialed press.
