PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Holding The High Line is back after Red’s trip to England Rabbi’s lost power. We break down Colorado’s 2-1 loss at D.C. United and much more.
Matt discusses his week off, Fulham games, history adventures with the girlfriend and all. We touch on the 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders but go more in depth on the United game. What went well? Do the Rapids need more leadership? What’s up with things going wrong at the end of halves? We discuss.
Update: We might have gotten some stuff wrong on Chris Armas missing the D.C. United game because of his Hall of Fame induction. We understand he missed the game because of a mechanical issue, not weather. Maybe a charter flight or private jet would have prevented the problem all together.
Then we talk about all the soccer news. Michael Edwards got loaned to Charleston Battery. Colorado is close to signing Australian center back Lucas Herrington, as first brought up by Judgmental Jim. A match against LAFC might be rescheduled. We’re hyped for the Unified Teams’ May 17 game.
Denver NWSL has added Mikaela Shiffrin to their ownership group ahead of the city council vote on $70 million in public funding for the project. The Denver Post, Denverite, and City Cast Denver did a great job covering this issue, tax increment financing (TIF) and all.
We preview the big match against San Jose Earthquakes. Also, Switchbacks lost to RBNY in Open Cup.

DENVER — World champion alpine skier and Colorado native Mikaela Shiffrin has joined the ownership group for the Denver NWLS expansion team, the club announced Tuesday morning. She joins majority owner Rob Cohen, Mellody Hobson, Jon-Erik Borgen and Kaia Borgen Moritz, Neelima Joshi and Dhiren Jhaveri and Molly Coors.
The club’s ownership group, staff and local partners continue to grow with a variety of backgrounds and roots in the state. Shiffrin is one of the most decorated competitive skiers of all-time, men’s or women’s. The Vail, Colorado, native is a five-time Overall World Cup champion with 101 World Cup victories (Lindsey Vonn has 82). Shiffrin has two Olympic Medals, including the 2014 Slalom Gold and 2018 Giant Slalom Gold. She’s the second ski-related figure to join the ownership group along with the Borgen family.
“I’m beyond thrilled to join the ownership group of Denver NWSL and support something so meaningful in the community I call home,” said Shiffrin in a statement. “The sport culture in Colorado is rich and deep, and — most notably — the growth of women’s sports is one of the most exciting movements in our culture today. To be part of it, and to help bring professional women’s soccer to Colorado, is not only an incredible investment opportunity — but it is both an honor and a joy.”
Shiffrin probably isn’t bankrolling the club, to be clear. Between her sponsorship money and earnings each competitive season earning $7,498,873.41 since the 2012 FIS season (the furthest the FIS prize money data goes back). She’s well off, but is not controlling-shareholder-kind-of-money loaded. Compare that to the $110 million expansion fee ownership (mostly Rob Cohen) paid a few months ago. So she’s definitely in for less than 10% of this puppy. But there’s something to be said for star power, local celebrity, and having a well-known person other than someone with the last name Coors. Think Magic Johnson with LAFC and the LA Dodgers.
Mikaela Schiffrin has joined the Denver NWSL ownership group as an investor. The Vail, Colorado, native is the winningest skier of all time.

Where Things Stand
This ownership group has a lot of experience, capital, and local bonafides. Having Colorado natives who got to where they were doing their thing in Colorado who understand the community matters. Jordan Angeli started it. With new President Jen Millet and now Shiffrin, they’re going from strength to strength.
“Mikaela’s commitment to excellence, her global impact, and her deep Colorado roots make her a perfect addition to our ownership group,” said Rob Cohen, controlling owner of Denver NWSL in a club statement. “We’re building a club with purpose, and having Mikaela’s vision and voice in that journey will be invaluable.”
This comes ahead of Monday’s city council vote on the $70 million tax-payer contribution to the project which the club and Mayor Mike Johnson have called a “public private partnership.” Denverite covered yesterday ownership suggesting the club could utilize a TIF, or tax increment financing along with this. It’s complicated. We probably spend too much money as a society paying for sports stadiums for teams owned by billionaires. Anyways, Burgundy Wave will be covering that soon.
Welcome to WoSo, Mikaela.

Washington, D.C. — A technical issue on Chris Armas’ flight from his National Soccer Hall of Fame induction caused Colorado’s head coach to miss his team’s 2-1 loss at the hands of D.C. United Saturday night. The Chris Little-led Rapids continued their near-halftime struggles as they conceding two first half stoppage-time goals which cancelled out a Darren Yapi goal moments before.
The Rapids (4-3-4, 16 points, 7th in the West) made two changes from the team that got the 1-1 draw at home against Seattle, as Nico Hansen made way for a return from suspension for Zack Steffen, and an injured Cole Bassett was replaced by Kevin Cabral. It was the Frenchman’s first start in three games, after starting the first nine for the Burgundy Boys. The changes were like-for-like as Chris Little kept the 4-2-2-2 formation.
D.C. United (3-5-3, 11 points, 12th in the East) made a few changes to the starting eleven that lost 3-0 away to Philadelphia. The biggest change was the return of Christian Benteke, who had missed some time with an injury. The Black-and-Red were missing some key faces, as Peglow, Pirani, Hopkins, Rowles, and Bartlett were all scratched from the lineup due to injury.
It was end-to-end stuff straight from the kick-off. Four minutes into the game, a ball in the box fell kindly to Djordje Mihailovic, whose volley hit off the post and out. Minutes later, D.C. United’s Hosei Kijimi took a curling shot from 20 yards out which beat Steffen, but hit the crossbar to keep it scoreless.
D.C. continued to put the pressure on, as in the 16th minute, Brandon Servania hit a rocket from outside the box that looked destined for the top corner, but Steffen made an acrobatic save to keep it from hitting the top-right corner.
It wasn’t until late in the first half that the fireworks lit for both sides. In the 43rd minute, the deadlock was broken by Colorado, as a 2-on-2 counterattack sprouted for the Rapids that saw Rafael Navarro and Yapi with a pair of D.C. defenders between them and the goal. Navarro initially took the shot on and it was saved by DCU’s Luis Barraza. The rebound fell kindly to the Brazilian Designated Player. Instinctively, he chipped a cross to the back post for Yapi to head home, as it just crossed the the goal line to make it 1-0.
The celebration for the Rapids was not long, however, as Colorado reached the witching hour of 2025: Stoppage time. In the 3rd minute of a possible six, a ball was whipped by David Schnegg, but deflected into the path of Benteke. He climbed over Chidozie Awaziem to put the header away from a sprawling Steffen.
However, the woes of conceding before halftime did not end there for the Rapids. With seconds remaining before the halftime whistle sounded, in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time, another deflected cross was whipped in and put home by Hosei Kijima, who got the better of Reggie Cannon at the back post Because of the re-direction of the cross, by the time Steffen could try and save it, he was a step or two too far to his left. He got a paw to it, but it wasn’t enough.
All of a sudden, the Rapids went into halftime down a goal after entering first-half stoppage time up a goal.
The second half was no better from the Rapids, as they were tasked with breaking down a low block from D.C., and failed to create much despite long stretches of possession. The first chance from the Rapids came in the 49th minute, as a through ball from Mihailovic found Navarro through, but the Brazilian’s touch let him down as the ball rolled to Barraza.
The game was then filled with D.C. limiting the Rapids to half chances, with DMV-area native Wayne Frederick coming on to sky a shot over in the 72nd minute. Still, Colorado failed to create more meaningful chances for the remainder of the match. The last half-chance the Rapids fell to Mihailovic, as his streaking run through the DC half led to a wayward pass in the middle when he may have had a better look out wide. It was just that kind of night for the Rapids.
“I think when you have a lead in a game, to not keep it, it’s disappointing. And I think the timing and the manner of the goals to go one down made it difficult. I thought the effort, the energy commitment, was there in the second half, but I think we’re disappointed,” acting head coach Chris Little told the media in his postgame comments.
Chris Little and his thoughts on the loss:
The club announced that Armas was unable to attend tonight’s match due to a technical issue on his flight to D.C. Armas was still able to communicate with his staff with regards to messaging, tactics and substitutions. Still, with him not being there in-person, it undoubtedly made things more difficult.
JUST IN: Chris Armas will NOT be on the touchline tonight after "technical issues with his flight" following his induction into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.Instead, Chris Little will be No. 1 on the sidelines, but Armas will be in close contact with his staff.Club statement:#Rapids96
“For Chris, what an honor,” Little said. “And you know, we are so happy and proud of him to get in that Hall of Fame.” Little continued saying, “… Obviously, it’s not ideal, but he was making the most of it, you know, just like he was suspended or something.”
The head coach was still able to effectively communicate his message to the locker room from Dallas.
“He was on the phone (with the) staff, and so he was able to view the game, input in substitutions, things of that nature,” Little said.
Oli Larraz also acknowledged the honor that Armas was given but also realizes, sometimes, life happens and flights get delayed.
“He’s our leader. It was a very big night for him. I want to congratulate him,” Larraz said. “These are things that are out of our control, but what was in control was the match tonight, and that’s completely on us. He prepared us in the best way possible.”
The Rapids continue to struggle before halftime:
The Rapids continue the trend of conceding moments before halftime, with DC netting two goals in first half stoppage time. “I’m not sure why it’s happening,” Larraz said. “We’re definitely looking into it, and we’re all aware of it. It doesn’t feel like anything’s different, and it’s just continuing to happen. Hopefully, next week that’ll change.”
Little , meanwhile, did not sugarcoat these trends when asked.
“It’s something, obviously we’ve talked about, something we and the players addressed after the game. It’s too consistent to ignore now. You know it’s becoming somewhat of a pattern, and I think we have to alter responsibility for that.”
Little also mentioned the importance of these goals, saying, “These minutes right before halftime, it’s too many goals. It carries an emotion and influence into halftime. I think if you go into that half with a one-nil lead, it’s a very different approach than going in one down.”
Cole Bassett’s absence felt:
Cole Bassett was ruled out of this match with a calf injury, and his absence was felt by the Rapids, who looked to be missing a cog in midfield. Cabral stepped in to take his spot, but failed to make any real impact on the attacking side of the ball. The Rapids looked to former D.C. Homegrown Player Ted Ku-DiPietro midway through the second half as a substitute, and got similar production from the winger in his return to Audi Field.
Still, Little was optimistic about Bassett’s injury saying it was more of a move to prevent further injury than anything mid-to long-term.
“No, I don’t think it’s severe at all. I think it was a minor type of strain,” He said. “The indication is that he can be back in full training, hopefully next week. So it’s a more precautionary type of situation, rather than an extended injury. So we are very much hoping Cole will be back in full training and hopefully available for selection next week.”
D.C’.s low block stumps the ‘Pids:
The Rapids were unable to penetrate the low block from D.C. in the second half, with the Rapids only being able to come away with a few half-chances. This has been a weak point in the Rapids’ attack this season, with the team struggling against Portland in a similar fashion a few weeks ago.
Little gave props to DCU for the way they defended in the second half.
“Credit to DC, they sat in the second half. They were able to protect the lead, as a 5-4-1, and defend on top of their own box. It’s difficult to break down, and we’ll take responsibility for that.”
Larraz was optimistic about how the Rapids are being able to improve their danger in front of a low block.
“I think you see the improvements we have. We have guys coming in, we have guys getting healthy again. We’re going to help with this, and our team is going to start gelling. I think we are moving in the right direction.”
Larraz had plenty reason to be optimistic has he saw young teammates try to make an impact such as University of Maryland product Kimani Stewart-Baynes, Frederick, Ku-Dipietro, while other young players like Jackson Travis got the start.
Still, despite their efforts, Colorado couldn’t find an equalizer and a familiar trend this season will be another talking point heading into Matchday 12.
The Rapids will face San Jose at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Saturday, May 10th at 7:30 PM MT.
COMMERCE CITY — The Rapids make their first appearance in the nation’s capital since 2022, as they head to Washington, D.C. to face D.C. United.
Coming off a controversial call that denied Rafa Navarro the game winner late against Seattle Sounders, the Rapids will look to make things right in their first trip of the season to the East Coast. Colorado (4-2-4, 16 points, 5th in the Western Conference) enters this game with lofty ambitions to keep at its strong away form to the season, having only lost once in their last five times. Meanwhile, D.C. United will look to start trekking up the table (2-5-3, 9 points, 13th in the Western Conference).
The other story Saturday will be tracking Rapids head coach Chris Armas’ flight. He is set to be inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco, Texas, Saturday afternoon. From there, he’ll fly cross-country and if all goes well, he should be on the touchline for kickoff.
It’ll be the first trip back to D.C. for new Rapids winger Ted Ku-DiPietro, to face the club where he became a Homegrown Player and played three seasons with. Let’s take a look at the matchup.
When: Saturday, May 3 @ 5:30 p.m. MST

Controversial Call Against Seattle:
The Rapids returned home against Seattle and left feeling like they should have gotten more than just the one point. In the first half, the Rapids had the better of the chances, with Cole Bassett having the best opportunity of the half go off the outside of the post halfway through the half. Just when the Rapids thought they could have their heads held high going into halftime level, on 41 minutes, Seattle’s Jesus Ferreira played a pass to right back Kalani Rienzi, whose pass across the box to Danny Musovski left Nico Hansen with no chance of keeping a clean sheet in his first MLS start as the former LAFC man made it 1-0.
The Rapids came out of halftime down a goal, but it didn’t take long for a response. Oli Larraz was fouled just a few yards away from Seattle’s box, and put Djordje Mihailovic in prime real estate for a free kick. Mihailovic did not need a second invitation, as he sent his free kick along the ground and under a Seattle wall that jumped over it. Just nine minutes into the second half, the Rapids had equalized at 1-1 through another Djordje free kick. The Rapids used this momentum to push for a winner throughout he second half, and they thought they had it through Rafa Navarro.
With minutes left in the second half, substitute Kevin Cabral crossed the ball into the box, which met the head of Navarro and sneaked into Stefan Frei’s near post. However, referee Alexis Da Silva whistled a foul before the ball found the back of the net, for an apparent push from Rafa Navarro on Seattle defender Yeimar. This was a highly debated call, and one that could not go to VAR due to the referee blowing the play dead before the ball found the back of the net. The Rapids could not find another winner and left the game feeling hard done by after that controversial call.
Cole Bassett out against DC United for a calf injury, hopefully nothing long term. Vines off the injury report, that’s a good sign. DC has an extensive list of injuries. No Peglow, and Benteke is questionable. Two very different injury reports.
Sam Vines was moved off the injury report which is good news, however, Cole Bassett made his first appearance on the Friday evening list. Bassett sustained a calf injury that will keep him out of the game against D.C., and depending on how serious it is, it could be a few weeks before he’s fully fit.
Tactically, Bassett has found himself out wide on the left in the 4-2-2-2, and it will be interesting to see if Rapids head coach Chris Armas will look for a more natural wide player like Cabral to fill in the role, or have a like for like switch with Larraz going out wide and bringing in Connor Ronan in the midfield.
The Rapids, and Navarro especially, have seemed to flourish with a two-striker system. Yapi has been able to hold the ball up well and win aerial duels. This has taken the load off of Navarro to do everything up top, and takes at least one centerback away from the Brazilian. This season is starting to look like a breakout year for Yapi, who has taken the opportunity to play alongside Navarro brilliantly. The two up top will have a big say in the proceedings on Saturday.
Steffen will look to fill in the role he left on suspension against Seattle, where 23-year-old Nico Hansen made his MLS debut. While Hansen had a professional first start in MLS, it will be a boost for the team to get Steffen in between the posts. Similarly, for Sam Vines, who missed out on Seattle with a groin injury picked up in training midweek. The left back position was filled by committee as Jackson Travis and Ian Murphy both played their parts in filling in for Vines against Seattle. It will be interesting to see how much Armas will limit the Colorado native in his return from injury.
Rapids Continued Struggles In Inopportune Times:
The Rapids continued a worrying trend against Seattle, as they conceded another goal within five minutes of halftime. This season, the Rapids have conceded 12 of their 16 goals five minutes before and after half, and within the final five minutes of the game. The Rapids are struggling to close out halves, and are struggling coming out of the locker room for the second half.

These are back-breaking times to give up goals. Going into halftime down 1-0 to Seattle after having a dangerous first half offensively but coming up empty is a whole new ball game than going in 0-0. While the panic button is not on for Chris Armas or Djordje Mihailovic, it is starting to become a real trend and starting to look like a real problem. While these goals haven’t directly cost the Rapids many points, with Houston’s last-minute equalizer the only goal directly costing the Rapids points, these are goals that change games.
The good side of this trend is that outside of the timeframe where the Rapids can’t seem to stop conceding, they have only given up four goals. For large stretches in these matches, the Rapids have a pretty good defensive record. Easier said than done, but if the Rapids can fix their tendency to give up goals close to halftime and full-time, they could look like a much better defensive unit.
Tough Start for D.C.:
Ted Ku-DiPietro’s former club has not had a fun start to the 2025 season without him, having two wins in ten matches, and staying near the bottom of the Eastern Conference at 13th. D.C. United has struggled in the last few years and are in the midst of a five-season playoff draught. 2025 has felt disappointingly similar for D.C., netting the second-worst goal difference in MLS, only behind winless LA Galaxy. The low point for this side was the 6-1 drubbing that the San Jose Earthquakes put on them a little less than a month ago. With just one win in its last seven matches, D.C. United will come out as a desperate and dangerous team in front of its home fans.
Life hasn’t been easy for head coach Troy Lesense in his second year at the helm. The team just can’t seem to surround 2024 MLS Golden Boot winner Christian Benteke with the right ten guys. Despite scoring 45 goals in 83 appearances, Benteke has not seen his D.C. United team make anything of his goal-scoring prowess. The former Belgium international has been a bright spot for an otherwise dark and gloomy last few seasons.
D.C. United acquired 23-year-old Brazilian winger Peglow from Polish side Radomiak Radom to provide a spark to this D.C. United attack. While the Brazilian has netted two goals and two assists in his first seven games, he has not made an appearance since April 25, and is out. Benteke has missed the last few games as well, and will try to get fit enough to feature against the Rapids; both players to look out for if they are healthy.
Prediction: The Rapids will continue their good form, and D.C. United will continue their poor form. Rapids win 2-0.
COMMERCE CITY — A controversial call denied Rafael Navarro and the Colorado Rapids a late winner Saturday night against Seattle Sounders at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The Rapids also gave up another late in the half goal, their ninth of the season conceded close to half or full time. It’s another game where the Rapids may feel like they should have pulled out all three points, but come up short.
The Rapids (4-2-4, 16 points, 4th in the Western Conference) made two changes from the team that got a 2-2 draw in Houston, one expected, the other not so much. Third-string keeper Nico Hansen made his MLS debut as Zack Steffen was suspended and Adam Beaudry was still hurt with an ankle injury. Sam Vines picked up a knock at training midweek, and Jackson Travis stepped in for him at left-back. Chris Armas kept with the 4-2-2-2 formation for this game.
Seattle (3-3-4, 13 points, 8th in the West) remained unchanged from their 3-0 win against Nashville, including newly signed Jesus Ferreira out wide for the Rave Green, with Pedro de la Vega on the other side, and their attack spearheaded by Danny Musovski.
The first half was a lively one from the Rapids, who started it out early when a Mihailovic corner found the head of Rafa Navarro, who headed back across goal and was cleared off the line by Cristian Roldan. The ensuing corner yielded another good opportunity, but Cole Bassett’s header went over by a small margin.
Some half chances from either side led to a 23rd-minute chance, as Cole Bassett picked the pocket of Yeimar, and found himself one-on-one with Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei, but pushed his shot off the outside of the left post and wide. This was the best opportunity for the Rapids in the first half, and summed up the night that Cole had.
Despite the Rapids having a majority of the good chances throughout the first half, it was Seattle who found the breakthrough. Seconds before the fourth official’s board would come up to signal stoppage time, a Jesus Ferreira through ball found the run of Kalani Rienzi, who played the ball across to Danny Musovski, who would have had a tough time missing that chance. A hint of offside from Rienzi, but there was no VAR intervention. Yet again, the Rapids had a good half squandered through a late goal conceded.
The second half started much better for the Rapids than the first half ended, as Larraz was brought down just outside of the box in the 54th minute. Djordje Mihailovic stepped up, and Seattle made the mistake of not having someone lay down behind the wall. The Seattle wall jumped, and Djordje snuck it under them and into the bottom corner, tying the game at 1-1.
The two teams traded some good chances, but nothing really tested either team’s goalie. This changed in the 86th minute, as Mihailovic played substitute Kevin Cabral out wide, and Cabral’s cross into the box found Navarro, who headed home to put the home team ahead with minutes left. Or so he thought. Head referee Alexis Da Silva called a foul on Navarro on the header attempt and blew his whistle before the ball had found the back of the net. This meant VAR couldn’t intervene, and the Rapids saw their chance to win the game come and go. The call against Navarro was the talking point in postgame interviews.
A 94th-minute header from Cabral forced a great save out of Stefan Frei and was the last chance of the game for either side. The match ended 1-1, and the disapproval from the crowd rang loud as the full-time whistle was sounded.
“Our fans came out tonight, our biggest crowd of the year, the building brought energy, and our fans were amazing tonight. We are grateful that they support us the way they do. They really pushed our guys,” Chris Armas told the media.
A Controversial Call Denies a Rapid Winner:
The biggest storyline that will come out of this game was the disallowed Navarro goal that would have put the Rapids up 2-1 with minutes to go. Mihailovic was frustrated with the call and the way the referee called it.
“He [referee] says that he sees a clear foul, but he calls it in a split second,” Mihailovic said. “Then, the ball goes in the back of the net, but he called a foul before, it’s impossible. Why have VAR? There’s no chance to review this play.”
Similar sentiments throughout the rest of the team as Josh Atencio.
“From my perspective, it looked like it wasn’t a foul. The referee made his decision, and ultimately, there is only so much we can do,” Atencio said.
Meanwhile, the man in the middle of the plot, Navarro thought it was a natural reaction.
“I just saw the ball coming and jumped to head it, and touched the ball and headed it in,” Navarro said. “For me, it was a natural motion, and I don’t understand why the foul was called.”
Chris Armas did not mince his words when asked about the call.
“Quite honestly, we probably did enough to get the win tonight, since we score a goal, the whistle is blown, I’m not sure that’s a foul, I don’t think it is. It looked like Rafa did enough, in a clean way, to earn that goal. Typically, plays like that, goals, around the world, those plays are let out to play on, that you don’t blow the whistle typically, and that VAR [can intervene]. But once you blow the whistle, it can’t even be looked at.”

The call will be one for Andrew Wiebe at Instant Replay will have to look at, and questions will be asked whether the referee should have blown the whistle when he did. There is a feeling around the team that the goal should have stood, and they could have been done dirty in this instance.
Conceding At The Wrong Times Again
The Rapids conceded another goal just minutes before half-time, making it 11 out of their 16 goals conceded on the year, being five minutes before and after halftime, as well as the last five minutes of regulation. The Rapids’ inability to open and close out halves or games has started to become a trend, and a worrying one at that.
When asked about the team’s trend to concede goals around half-time and full-time, Mihailovic said, “I don’t want to look too far into it, I also don’t want to say it’s a coincidence either. You look around winning teams all over the world, they know how to manage certain moments in a game. We are going to learn from these experiences and know that the most important games that we know how to manage those moments.”
Another Free Kick Goal for Djordje:
On a lighter note, Djordje scored another free kick goal, his first one as a Rapid to go under the wall, as he saw an error in Seattle’s defensive setup.
“They didn’t put someone behind the wall, and I was close to the box and took a chance that they don’t jump, and I look really bad passing right to them. A decision in the moment.”
Set pieces have become a huge deal in Colorado over the last few years, and it continues under Chris Armas.
“There is a big buy-in with the set-pieces,” Armas said. “When Mihailovic is on the ball, he makes things happen. Djordje puts a lot into the free kicks, even knowing the wall is gonna jump tonight, they’re on it.”
Mihailovic’s goal was his fifth of the season, and third in his last three games.
Nico Hansen’s Steady Start to Life in MLS:
Nico Hansen was thrust into the starting eleven after Steffen and Beaudry were unavailable to suit up. He didn’t look fazed, however, as he had a professional performance against Seattle and had his teammates raving about him postgame. Mihailovic said, “You rarely see the third or fourth string goalkeeper coming into action, but you see that he was ready… It doesn’t seem like that was his debut.”
When asked about Hansen’s performance, Atencio said, “I thought he was steady. We knew what he was capable of. He has had a great week of training and preparing, and mentally, he was in a good spot. I thought he was great, made really good decisions on the ball. Really good performance from him.”
Chris Armas joined in giving Hansen his flowers.
“I think Nico Hansen played great,” Armas said. “Tonight, he is not getting shelled with so many shots, which is sometimes tricky because you gotta be really good in moments. Even with his distribution, his goal kicks, his distribution were accurate, and he was really comfortable in decisive moments. He came up big for us.”
Hansen was named the starter as early as last week. Still, he attributed his success to the people around him, with Hansen saying, “All week, Zack, (Chris) Sharpe, they have been crucial for me to have the success that I had today. I couldn’t do it without Zack’s help, Zack’s insight throughout the week, him walking me through his gameday routine, his thoughts, and how he prepares for the game, that helped me out a lot.”
The Rapids will play D.C. United next Saturday, May 3rd, at 5:30 p.m. MT.
Commerce City — The Colorado Rapids return to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to face the Seattle Sounders in what will be a crucial Week 10 Western Conference clash.
The Rapids (4-2-3, 15 points, 5th in the Western Conference) will be without first-choice goalkeeper Zack Steffen, as he got a quick double yellow, one right before the final whistle and one after last Saturday in Houston. There are plenty of questions to answer as we dive into this matchup. First, who will start in goal? Adam Beaudry is a doubt for the game with an ankle injury, while 23-year-old third-string keeper Nico Hansen could earn his MLS debut.
Josh Atencio will have his first game against his hometown team in the Sounders (3-3-3, 9 points, 8th in the West). Will there be an Atencio revenge game brewing?
Here’s what you need to know heading into the Week 10 matchup.

The Rapids looked to be in and out of Houston with all three points after Djordje Mihailovic’s penalty and Rafael Navarro’s go-ahead goal cancelled out Amine Bassi’s early strike in the first half and gave the Rapids a 2-1 lead away from home. That was until new Houston Dynamo striker Ondrej Lingr got his head on a recycled cross with virtually the last kick of the game, and squeezed one past Steffen. A heartbreaking goal to give up after fighting their way back into the game and maintaining a lead with less than two minutes left. It felt more like two points dropped than one point gained on the road.
Chris Armas kept the same lineup that beat San Diego FC at home 3-2 the week prior. Armas had continued with the 4-2-2-2 formation with Navarro and Yapi leading the line in Texas, and the Rapids continued to look dangerous on the attack. The Rapids finished the game with 2.84 expected goals, to Houston’s 0.91. It ended up being one of Colorado’s best well-rounded games in terms of xG, but the game felt very different from this supposed beat-up of Houston.
Houston was on the front foot for good chunks of this game. This led to the Rapids having to sit back and invite pressure throughout the first half. This did not stop the Rapids from being the team who should have put one in the back of the net first. They didn’t take their chances. Houston did. The Rapids rectified this with a good second half but failed to close out the game. It is not the first time the Rapids have failed to close out a half or a result, giving up a late goal. This can become a concern for Armas. If this trend continues it cost them more than just two points here and there.
Vines out with a groin injury. That’s the only surprise from the injury report for both teams. Seattle relatively healthy, Rapids are going to be missing their first two goalkeepers. Nico Hansen first start?
The two players joining the injury report creates real headaches for the Rapids’ coaching staff. It was confirmed Wednesday that Steffen was indeed suspended for Saturday’s game after an after-the-whistle red card last week. The Apple TV broadcast did not pick this up. Beaudry is also out for Seattle due to his ongoing ankle injury dating back to mid-April. This leaves the Rapids with a short list of options to start in net. Hansen, who signed a first-team deal on April 12th, could make his first start. We may also see Zackory Campagnolo on the bench. Both guys wouldn’t have expected to be in contention for starting anytime soon, but, here we are.
Right back Sam Vines also made another appearance on the injury report due to a groin injury. This is an injury he tweaked midweek and has not been able to recover. It will mark the ninth game out of twelve in which he will be injured. Luckily, it’s not a re-injury of his thigh that kept him out of the first eight games of the season. Still a concern that he is injured again. Luckily for the Rapids, Keegan Rosenberry is probably the best “backup” outside back in the league right now.
Chris Armas has moved into a 4-2-2-2 system in the last few games, and I believe he will keep it up against Seattle. This system seems to suit the team well, as it was used in two of the most impressive offensive displays of the season. It also allows Darren Yapi to line up in a two-striker system with Rafa Navarro. Yapi has looked like he has taken strides from previous seasons with this setup. His performances have earned him some more minutes, and it may earn him another nod from Armas.
No Steffen, No Beaudry, Who Steps Up?
The goalkeeper depth going into the season for the Rapids was Steffen, and the youngster Beaudry. When Steffen left for international duty, we saw Beaudry step up to take that role in net. Now, Steffen has been suspended due to two yellow cards. Meanwhile, the Castle Rock native and Homegrown has missed the last few games due to an injury suffered in a Rapids 2 match. All of a sudden, the Rapids don’t have a keeper for Seattle. Who steps in if both are unavailable?
Official: Zack Steffen received a yellow card in the 90+7th, then a second yellow after the final whistle. Both were for dissent. He’s out this weekend vs. Seattle. Speculating here: with Adam Beaudry’s ankle injury, Nico Hansen will start with Zack Campagnolo off the bench.
Here’s what to know about the presumed starter, Hansen. The Florida native spent last season with Houston Dynamo 2. There, he started 10 games, gave up 15 goals, and had zero clean sheets. He has made two R2 appearances, one where nine-man Real Monarchs came back to steal two points with a last-minute equalizer and penalty shootout win. This season, Hansen has been called up on multiple short-term loans to be the emergency second keeper. This has happened when either Steffen or Beaudry were unavailable. He was signed to the first team on a semi-guaranteed contract through the 2025 season with club options for 2026 and 2027. It’s hard to know what to expect from Hansen, but limiting chances better than Portland would give the 23-year-old a better chance of a good home MLS debut than Beaudry got against Portland.
The last time Colorado started a third-string keeper? That would be Abe Rodriguez, the former Homegrown who started at the end of the 2023 MLS season. Before that, according to Rapids’ research guru Jason Maxwell, it was Joe Nasco in the 2014 season. Now, that’s a throwback.
With Nico Hansen lined up to start, I would not be surprised to see Zackory Campagnolo get a short-term call-up and appear on the first team bench for the first time in his young career. The 18-year-old has only made some appearances for Rapids 2, but has been consistently called up to U.S. Youth National Team throughout the last few years. He even made the MLS NEXT All-Star Game last season. Campagnolo is a name to remember for the future. But I would not be surprised to see his name in the gameday roster come Saturday.
Symmetrical Start for Seattle:
Seattle reached the Western Conference Finals in 2024, but has had much less success to start 2025. The Sounders have had to deal with early schedule congestion due to the CONCACAF Champions Cup, where they beat Antigua Guatemala in two legs, but fell to Cruz Azul in the next round. This spell in the CCC led to some interesting rotation and inconsistent results early in the MLS season, such as losing to RSL 2-0, yet, beating LAFC 5-2 a week later. Overall, Seattle, given its confounding start, is only three points off the pace but can still be dangerous at any point in the year.
Are the Sounders dangerous in the post-Ruidiaz Era?
Seattle looked to reload after losing star striker Raul Ruidiaz and winger Leo Chu during the offseason by bringing in two of the three-headed monster that was FC Dallas’ attack. They made the blockbuster deal to bring in USMNT fringe players Jesus Ferreira and Paul Arriola from the Texas team. Jesus Ferreira has had a rocky start to life in Seattle, yet to record a goal in nine MLS matches, but has three assists on the year. Unfortunately, Paul Arriola has has had it worse in Seattle, as the 30-year-old tore his ACL against Cruz Azul in the CCC. Seattle will have to hope new signing, Englishman Ryan Kent (notably with Rangers in Scotland), settles in quickly and fills the void that Arriola will leave behind.
Interestingly, the Rapids are 0-2 against Cascadia teams this season, and will have to look to a third different keeper in those games. A Brian Schmetzer-led Seattle team is always dangerous, and will look to exploit this rotation at keeper throughout the game. Another storyline to look for in this game is Josh Atencio and how he takes his first game against his old team. It doesn’t have the makings of a revenge game for Atencio, who seems to only have good things to say about his time in Seattle. However, it would be hard to believe this will be just another game for Atencio on Saturday.
Prediction: The Rapids continue to feel the pain from Cascadia, and Seattle comes to town and exploits the Rapids’ keeper situation. Seattle wins 3-1.
COMMERCE CITY – Josh Atencio spent seven years in the Seattle Sounders organization. The Bellevue, Washington native rose through the ranks of the academy alongside now Rapids Assistant Coach Chris Little. He played for Tacoma Defiance. He signed with the first team. With his family ties, he was as Seattle Soccer as Brian Schmetzer was at 23-years-old.
Seattle is home, but Colorado is home away from home:
Atencio’s grandfather had 11 siblings. His dad is the third oldest of five siblings. All six of them played college soccer. Grampa Atencio coached Hole Solo and aunt Cynthia to a state title in high school. Josh himself is the middle child of three boys. Such holding midfielder energy. The Atencios are to high school and college soccer in greater Seattle what the Weasleys are to Gryffindor.
You’d then think that getting traded to Colorado would feel like a million miles away. It’s anything but for Josh. An uncle went to University of Denver and still lives in the area. One of his brothers lives in Colorado Springs. Both have come to see him play in Burgundy.
“Family’s huge. Really big family but really close. It’s nice to be close to my uncle, close to my brother. They took me to Boulder last weekend. Showed me around downtown,” Atencio told Burgundy Wave. He added, “Colorado, I’ve been here a bunch to visit family. My grampa had 11 siblings. Having a relationship with Chris Little, it’s been easy to acclimate.”
Josh Atencio Revenge Tour? Not exactly.
This weekend, Colorado plays host to Seattle Sounders. This will be Atencio’s first ever game against Seattle.
“I’m really excited. I played there for 7 years. It was the same group. Those are some of my best friends on that team. I want to kick their butts.”
Josh remembers the day of the trade well. It caught him by surprise.
“I was getting adjusted to become a center back at Seattle, playing on the right side of a back three. Walk in one morning. ‘Coach wants to see you.’ GM’s in there. Something’s happening. Couldn’t be happier the way it turned out. I love it here so far. Everyone’s amazing. I feel welcomed.”
That’s not too different from the culture Chris Armas has fostered. The familiarity between Colorado and Seattle has made adjusting easy for Atencio. So too was having a familiar face in Djordje Mihailović. The two struck up a friendship during the Olympics last year. It’s just another way Atencio feels confortable and ready to thrive in a new environment.
Lucky #12 and fitting in:
Tactically, Colorado’s becoming a good fit. Atencio was a 6 and an 8 growing up. He became a proper box-to-box midfielder as he aged out of the academy. The #8 shirt meant a lot to him joining the Sounders first team. He’s now wearing #12 in Burgundy since Oli Larraz has #8.
“My mom told me it’s my lucky number. She’s been on TikTok too much. It’s your birth month then the last digit of your birth year.”
January 2002 comes out to #12.
Tactically, the style suits Josh. But they’re still figuring out the shape. He’s certainly happy to be back at d-mid instead of third center back. Armas has kept the game model from last year but the shape has varied. Atencio came into a 4-3-3 alongside Larraz and Cole Bassett. More recently, it’s been a 4-2-2-2 that becomes a 4-4-2 defensively. Atencio and others provide the shape, allowing talisman Djordje Mihailović to find the game. The concepts are the same. The adjustment has been in situational roles.
“It’s a triple pivot sometimes. Moving forward it’ll look more like a 6 and two 8s. I try to stay home and have the game in front of me. A couple times the last couple games, I got sucked too high. I want to attack things.
“It’s nice to build chemistry with the guys around us and be able to switch formations in a week and win on the weekend.”
Between Atencio, Larraz, and Bassett, everyone has taken responsibility. Whether it’s the rest defense or getting into the attack, there’s no finger pointing. Atencio had a tough moments a few weeks ago, conceding an own goal in a 3-0 loss to Portland. Larraz took responsibility for that one:
“He can’t do anything about it. He knows that. He should feel any sort of way. I feel more responsibility for letting that cross come on.”

Atencio is still working on being more vertical on the ball while not sacrificing his role as center back safety valve. He’s set a goal of five red zone (crudely Armas’ term for the final third) per game.
“I want to get on the ball more and help the team in possession. I come from a system (in Seattle) where it’s rotating the ball. Switch the point of direction. (Colorado) wants to be more vertical and aggressive. I want to get better at getting the ball to Djordje’s feet. Make the game fast.”
Atencio’s got some Jack Price in him. Covering ground. Dropping between the center backs Chido Awaziem and Andreas Maxsø to cover gaps and create a numbers advantage. When the team’s done well defensively, Atencio’s been preventing fires.
There’s still work to do. But Armas has been happy with the early returns on that $1.3 million GAM they gave up to get him.
“I’m happy with Josh. He’s a really good fit for us. Everything we knew about him, I’m getting to see and more. Things I value as a midfielder. His mentality. Character. He’s seamlessly fit into the group. isrupting plays. He covers a lot of ground. It helps us meet the demands of the way we want to play. Kudos to our club, we got a nice one.”
Josh Atencio’s not a revenge tour is tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. MT.

COMMERCE CITY – Listening to a soft-spoken Wayne Frederick II talk about the changes he’s seen in his somewhat quick rise to MLS in Colorado, you can’t help but wonder how this young man has dealt with a fair bit of uncertainty coming up through the ranks. However, it’s dealing with those moves and setbacks at such an early age that has instilled a distinct calm confidence you can’t help but notice in Wayne.
“I pick things up really quick, and I think that’s why I have a lot of belief about myself that I can do whatever Coach (Chris Armas) wants me to do,” says the Junior to his Father, Wayne Sr. “I’ve always had to be open to learning.” Wayne explains that has been a constant in his progression due to the fact that coaches have not really been able to make up their mind where to play him on the pitch. “I’m very versatile so I can play wing, 6, 8, 10, right back – all my life I’ve done that.”
Wayne made his MLS debut last year at San Jose. About a year later, he got his first start. It was fittingly at San Jose. He balled out.
Wayne’s love of the game goes back to Wayne Sr., who was born in Trinidad and is a friend of T&T football legend Shaka Hislop, as he admits with a laugh he really had no choice but to carry that love forward. “My family has been in soccer – my dad, his friends – they all played growing up in Trinidad, so I got into it early at the age of 3. I played a lot of sports but at some point I made that decision.”
There wasn’t a lot of pressure from his father, but rather Wayne took his enjoyment of the game and is showing his appreciation for his introduction and support. “I loved to do it, I was doing it every day, and that often and falling in love with it had me keep going.”
“My dad wasn’t able to play (professionally) because he had sickle-cell disease and he became a doctor because of that. He’s kind of living his soccer through me a bit, not in a pressure way, and I’ve never told him but I just want to make my family proud.”
He and his father didn’t always see eye-to-eye, especially in their football fandom, cracks the younger Wayne. “My dad’s a big Arsenal fan, massive Arsenal fan,” he admits (something that makes this writer smile – COYG!!!). My favorite team is Manchester United. (Former Man U striker) Dwight Yorke played for Trinidad, and is the Trinidad Head Coach now, he’s a legend in Trinidad. Once I found out, I was all Man United.”………(kids, right?!?!)
Despite that household rivalry, doing well for his family was always one priority but not always an easy route, he shared with Burgundy Wave. Especially given his late-bloomer physical presence on the pitch.
“I grew up as a really small kid. I was probably 5 ft going into high school (note – Wayne is now a solid foot taller after hitting his growth stage before college). That definitely gave me an advantage because it was tough coming up that way, people doubted me, didn’t really think I could do certain things. I kind of stayed in my age group but everybody was so much bigger than me it felt like I was playing up.”
After being named a High School All-American, winning the D.C. State Championship, and being named the State Player of the Year, Frederick played two seasons for the Duke Blue Devils. He not only impressed on the field, but off it as well earning ACC All-Academic honors. It was here that Wayne really began practicing his versatility by playing virtually everywhere except between the posts.
“I was going to college and got recruited mainly as a center back/right back, but by the end of the year they told me you’re a midfielder for sure,” he explains. “I didn’t know where I was going to play on a given night, or I’d go in at striker and 10 minutes later I’m moving to right back, then moving to left back, so it’s just being open to adapting to anything.”
After being drafted by the Rapids in the first round of the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, Wayne was eager for the next step in his career and looking forward to getting started right away in preseason. However, an injury slightly derailed his fast-track and he had to adjust once again and begin his time in Colorado with Rapids 2 in order to get back up to full speed and integrate into Chris Armas’ system.
“I got hurt the 3rd day of preseason, so I missed all of preseason. You always have to have that belief (in yourself), but getting the injury and not getting going as early as I would’ve liked with everybody else takes a toll on you mentally of course.”
What followed was real blessing in disguise, though, as Wayne took advantage of playing time with Rapids 2 under the watchful eyes of Head Coach Erik Bushey and Assistant (and former Rapid) Collen Warner. “I have to thank Eric and Collen for all the insight they’ve given me,” says Wayne. “They really encouraged me, helped me get back fit, and gave me a lot of instruction.”
“I learned so much going down there just on the style of play, different things with the 6 position, and getting those minutes was important getting the confidence back up and ultimately to show the coaches what I could do.”
Wayne Frederick II plays in a 2025 Leagues Cup match against Club Tijuana at DICK’s Sporting Goods Park.
Once again, Frederick enjoyed a bit of a position change, but one that has led him to the first team in 2025. “Only recently I’ve moved to midfield. I only played 5 months of midfield in college and then I came here. It’s been a big adjustment but that’s what I needed. I needed to learn how to play the position, how to be aware, knowing what you’re going to do before you get the ball. That’s what a box-to-box midfielder is – attacking and defending. I needed that giving me both of those abilities to affect the game in different ways. As (2024) progressed, I think I showed that I learned those things with the second team and it showed a bit with first team training as well.”
“Going (to play with Rapids2), at first it’s like ‘man, I just really want to be with the first team,’ because I really hadn’t trained with them at that point, but I needed it. In the moment you may not realize certain things, but looking back I absolutely needed those games, those minutes, those training sessions just to get more focused on me personally. Doing that, and leading into preseason this year, was really helpful.”
Hearing the younger Frederick speak in such an introspective light, it’s easy to see why nothing really phases him and gives him a calmness on the pitch as well.
A healthy start to 2025 has been exactly what Wayne was looking forward to with the Rapids. Whether being asked to help out defending or moving play forward through the midfield, his versatility and quality both on and off the ball have led to his first significant MLS minutes across four games including one start so far. “Preseason really helped me, I think this year was what I really worked on – knowing where guys were, where the pressure’s coming from, where the next man is, knowing where you’re going before you get the ball.”
“After preseason, I was so happy just to have even gotten it in because not having one you can really tell it’s needed. You don’t realize how impactful it really is in getting the season going, but it was absolutely necessary.”
Another big step in his progression has been on the international stage as of late 2024, as he was called into camp for Trinidad and Tobago ahead of a friendly with Saudi Arabia. Even though Wayne admits it was a bit intimidating at first, he soon settled in and saw his first action for the Soca Warriors in a real eye-opener.
“First call up in December was awesome. I was really nervous. It was quick – only three or four days – two training sessions and a game. I played in that game about 30 minutes and it was an awesome experience. I learned so much being around different types of players and coaches. Then, when I went back there last month (for a 2-match series with Cuba), I could tell that I learned a lot from just that alone.”
When asked how the international game compares with MLS so far, Wayne says it’s another version of needing to be versatile and able to change styles quickly. “In Saudi when we played it was faster, really quick, chaotic in a way things flying around. The guys aren’t with each other for long, you don’t have a preseason and all this time to hone in on what the team wants to do. So, it’s really tough getting everybody on the same page, but that’s another skill you have to adapt to is being able to play with different players, quickly pick up on what’s needed of you.”
As far as how Colorado is going so far in his second season, fans should be happy to hear Frederick give some glowing insight on the Rapids locker room and some of the main reasons he’s optimistic of their chances this year.
“The quality of players I see everyday in training, all of them can do amazing things, I think as everybody gets going more into form, it will come out more in games. Our depth is amazing and it’s young too. I think one of the most important things is the culture. Everybody is cool with each other. I don’t think there’s another team in the league that is this close and gets along with each other so well.”
Hopefully, for Colorado’s solid form to start 2025, that continues to carry over to the team’s play on the pitch as well. Wayne Frederick II is a factor in that, more and more with each passing day.

PREVIEW – Tomorrow, Colorado Rapids are back at home against Seattle Sounders. Burgundy Wave reached out to our colleague (and former boss!) Jeremiah Oshan from Sounder At Heart. Let’s get caught up on all things Rave Green ahead of the match:
Similar to the Rapids, Seattle started the year with Conca Champions and had a slow start to league play. Back-to-back wins including 3-0 over Nashville. What’s the team doing well right now?
The most effective thing they’ve been doing the last few games is translating the turnovers they create into scoring chances. Although the Sounders aren’t necessarily known as a pressing team, they’ve been very effective in that phase of play this year. But it’s only in the last couple of games where those high turnovers have turned into shots.
Seattle retooled the offense this winter. Jesus Ferreira and Paul Arriola (get well) came over from Dallas. Pedro de la Vega already has matched his regular season goal contributions from last year. He looks healthy. What can the Rapids expect from these two and the Sounders attack?
Ferreira was billed as much more of a scoring threat than he’s proven to be this year, but he’s been a creative playmaker who looks much more comfortable playing as more of a 10. Pedro de la Vega has looked absolutely electric when he’s healthy. He started off the season with three goals in his first three competitive matches but then suffered a hamstring injury. Since returning a couple of weeks ago, he’s picked up right where he left off. He’s an aggressive dribbler and a downhill attacker. Fun player.
From afar, it seemed Josh Atencio was tradable because he was behind Obed Vargas on the depth chart. How’s Vargas doing this season? What did you make of Atencio getting traded?
The Sounders were actually in the process of trying to convert Atencio into a centerback, which was showing predictably mixed results through preseason. The main reason for that was the presence of players like Vargas, but also veterans like João Paulo. I really liked Atencio and think this was a trade that appears to have worked out for everyone. I think the Sounders got good value, the Rapids got a quality player and Atencio has a clear path to playing time.
Injury updates: We know Arriola’s probably out for the year with the ACL tear. Jackson Ragen is dealing with a hamstring injury. Jordan Morris, Albert Rusnak, and Alex Roldan were on the bench for Nashville. What injuries will affect the lineup for Saturday?
Aside from Ragen and Arriola the Sounders are pretty much full at full strength, but it looks like they’re content to keep bringing some of those nominal starters off the bench in acknowledgement of how well their replacements have looked over the past couple of games. That means Danny Musovski for Morris, Ferreira for Rusnák and Kalani Kossa-Rienzi in Alex Roldan’s spot.
Rapids fans love a local player who comes good. Paul Rothrock’s starting and scoring goals. Colorado’s biggest question lineup wise is who played on the right with Kévin Cabral’s recent benching and Keegan Rosenberry and Reggie Cannon splitting minutes at right back. How’s Rothrock grown as a player? What does he do well?
Paul Rothrock is a great story of a player believing in themselves and taking the opportunity once it’s presented. He’s a Seattle local who went to college after a year in the Sounders Academy, transferred from Notre Dame to Georgetown and won a national championship, was then drafted by Toronto FC and played mostly with TFCII. Seeing little path to the first team, he moved to Tacoma Defiance where he was reunited with his academy coach Wade Webber. No one really expected much to come of that, but he played well, scored during two different short-term loans with the Sounders and got himself a MLS contract.
Last year, he seemed buried on the depth chart but then scored in his first extended appearance and never looked back. This year, his path to playing time appeared blocked again after the signing of Arriola but he established himself as an option at wing back and has looked good there too. He’s a more creative dribbler than he gets credit for, is composed around goal and no one ever questions his effort.
Prediction time. Rapids-Sounders feels like that Mad Men elevator meme. C38 and the players always get up for Rave Green coming into town. You probably see Colorado as the Whitecaps of the Mountain Time Zone. Atencio Revenge Tour? Sounders get a hard fought road result?
The Sounders have a 10-5-2 record at Colorado and have won their last two games there. They also handle the press reasonably well. This feels like a 1-0 Sounders win to me.
