Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it’s a different movie, with a worse ending. The Pids blew another two goal lead and this time lost. We talk about it.
Rabbi and Red open the show discussing the Manchester City investigation news, 115 charges and all. We highlight other smart people who have said smart things about the matter.
Then we break down the 3-2 loss to LA Galaxy. Yay Donavan Phillip. Nico Hansen had a terrible game, and it had been coming. We break down how this game was different in a good way compared to the draw to Seattle. We look big picture at what this stretch could mean for the season.
Then we discuss Zackory Campagnolo getting loaned to St. Louis City. It says a lot about the goalkeeper roster management. The boys share their thoughts. Mark then threads a needle on the Sayed Abu Farkhi goal celebration and how we could feel about it.
