Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Happy autumn. G’mar chatima tova to Rabbi and all the Jews celebrating Yom Kippur. Mark is out so Braidon Nourse from Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal joins the show.
We talk about Braidon's recent news breaking. We discuss the scoreboard being replaced finally, we think. Matt does a retrospective on that and Victory Crossing. They guys react to the club signing Akol Akon. We touch on the international window and Rapids 2 ending their season.
Then we analyze what went wrong against St. Louis City in the Open Cup and Seattle Sounders. Matt Wells said and did some interesting things in both games We discuss the tactics against St. Louis and the Pids nickname. We break down the real issue the Rapids have. It's not home vs road or winning vs losing. It's reacting to conceding a goal.
HTHL then previews LA Galaxy.
Braidon does great work. You should follow him on social and check out RMSJ. His recent Janine Sonis feature and reporting on Moldy DICK's were great.
