Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we’ve got Rapids transfers to discuss.
Lucas Herrington has reportedly completed his medical at Hull City. We’re just waiting on the press release at this point. We discuss the three rumored players in Couhaib Driouech, Filip Thovaldsen, Sayed Abu Farhi. It doesn’t look like the Pids will sign any of them but we talk about them nonetheless. What does this say about where the Rapids stand on the transfer window with the Lucas funds coming in? We have thoughts. It feels different this time.
Then we touch on the Leagues Cup and Concacaf drama as Mexico supporters Infantino. We have a laugh at Azteca Portlandia (the same thing would happen to the Rapids, maybe worse).
Then we preview Sporting KC. Surprise, it’s another most win for the Pids at DSGP. Excited to see Calvin Harris again.
