Podcast – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Yes, Holding The High Line recorded on election night. This week, it’s Pid Save America and a Decision Day Preview.
Rabbi and Red banter about the election and the Rapids sprint season schedule.
Then we take a step back and look at last week’s two games. We found some trends in that 2-2 draw against San Jose Earthquakes and the 2-4 loss vs Chicago Fire. We connect that to a general trend we’ve seen the last few months. Matt’s got some criticism. Mark’s got some good news. Oh and we do a rant on attendance after the final home game.
Then we look ahead to Decision Day. Colorado Rapids are at FC Dallas. We discuss that game tactically in a vacuum. We look at the other games that matter for Colorado’s playoff homes. We discuss playoff clinching scenarios.
Oh and here’s Mark’s latest HTHL article on expectations. Read it.
