Hey folks. Old account got hacked then suspended after the World Cup. After trying 100+ times with the automated X Support, I give up. Thanks E lawn? Restarting my account from scratch. Take this as a PSA to reset your passwords and 2FA.

Sunny, this is Connor Hellebuyck.
He’s the greatest goalie of his generation.
His defect is that playing the Winnipeg Jets would potentially give us a reduction in our expected win probability.
Yeah today wasn’t good enough. The season wasn’t good enough.
Trying a new thing! Your Rapids Press Row Season Predictions:
Me - 9th, loss in play-in
@BraidonNourse - 6th, first round loss
@BrendanPloen - 9th, play-in loss
@mitch__carroll - 9th, play-in loss
@LWOSMattPollard - 9th, Wildcard win, loss in round of 3

A serious football club wanting to be a perennial playoff team and win a second MLS Cup wouldn’t just run it back with this FO.

Programming note: I’ll be in South Bend, Indiana tomorrow. Got tickets to Miami-Notre Dame months ago before I knew Decision Day would be decisive for the Rapids. @shaw_eamon will be running @BurgundyWave.
Hoping Pids qualify and Canes don’t get smoked.

"The Roots have demonstrated that a community can build a compelling professional soccer brand. What they have yet to prove is that such a club can sustain itself without the financial resources traditionally required to compete in American professional sports."
The Oakland Roots have been a model for sports franchises that center community. But does America have a space for such anymore?
On this critical moment for Oakland’s pro soccer team and what their predicament conveys about modern sports

The powers that be are turning college football into something you watch on your couch with social media and a gambling app open, instead of it being a communal celebration.
And that is not sustainable for people caring about it long-term.

Matt Wells on Wayne Frederick's assist:
It comes from me winding him up. I was so angry with him. If he learns to believe in himself as much as I believe in him, then he's going to be a top player. I was shouting 'I told you so.' He is capable of running football matches.

"They're sick of hearing that. They just decided actually no, let's come from behind in the game."

Saturday was lights out at Centennial Stadium for 2026. Denver Summit can still make the playoffs, but they'll be the road team the rest of the way no matter what. Covering the inaugural season was so much joy. Excited to keep covering Women's Soccer.
I spoke to Joe Shaw about his book, Miami Before Messi, a history of the Miami Fusion. Even found a way to connect it back to the Rapids. A butterfly flapped its wings at Lockhart Stadium and Pablo Mastroeni went from almost undrafted to Rapids captain.
