Burgundy Wave: Covering Colorado Soccer since July 2010.

This will only boost the awful defensive woes that the Rapids have been facing in recent weeks. It does, however, give the Rapids very little excuse for not giving some minutes to the boatload of defenders that they've accumulated who haven't gotten all that many this season. (See: this post from earlier today.) It also…

In 2012, I never said that Oscar Pareja was going to be a great manager despite being oft-accused of doing so. What I did say was that there is never a reason to fire a head coach or manager, regardless of what sport you're talking about, after their first season. Listening to fans in 2012,…
