Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we’ve got a first. We preview two games with no previous game to recap. The boys banter as Erik Bushey leaves Colorado Rapids 2. Rabbi and Red discuss his Rapids legacy and what’s next for R2.
We preview San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday and Minnesota United next Wednesday. Matt breaks down both teams in detail. Mark discusses their recent form. We chat about how these are two very different teams and challenges for the Rapids.
Mark wrote a really good article about whether this was a busy summer transfer window for Colorado or not. You can check that out here.Â
