Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, the Pids won a game! And Denver Summit are still alive in the NWSL playoffs!
Rabbi and Red banter about MLS Halloweekend and a minor update to the Commerce City vs KSE Victory Crossing saga. We recap a win over Vancover Whitecaps. What did we think of Morgan Whittaker as a false 9? How about Oli Larraz making his return to DICK’s? And what does this all mean for the playoff race? Oh, and we’ve got some good news about the regular season schedule and Decision Day.
Matt gives some updates to player injuries.
Then we look ahead to the final double game week of the season. It’s San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday. They’re ok and also dealing with a bunch of injuries. Then we look ahead to the final home game of the season against the interesting and talented Chicago Fire.
Oh and check out Keith Richard’s feature on Donavan Phillip.
