Burgundy Wave: Covering Colorado Soccer since July 2010.

This is no guarantee that Cascio is actually going to see the field in 2015, of course. The Rapids could very easily trade him this off-season despite taking his contract option. With Cascio back in Colorado, the Rapids will lose the international slot that they took from Houston for the season in exchange.

We're nearly at the end of the 2014 MLS season; only a couple of games separate MLS fans from the bitter coldness of the off-season. First, though, we have to crown us a champion. The final four were decided a while back — it feels like there haven't been any playoff games since the Taft…
