Many local first timers came to their first Colorado Rapids game today. They came for Messi and left knowing Matt Wells' team can ball out. I hope that's enough for them to come back. These thoughts and more on Colorado Rapids 2-3 loss vs Miami:

Welcome to Burgundy Sky Sturm B.

I hope the Denver-based Messi Tourists are convinced the Colorado Rapids can ball. Because they can. Hopefully that was enough for them to want to come to another game this season.

Last ticket check in I'm going to do. It's clear most if not the entire stadium open. Several sections with empty seats. Mostly 300s, ~$140. There's entire rows up for resale. We'll see what resale market looks like given Messi is expected and the bots paid a lot up front.

It's a good ball by Rodman. It's a calm finish by Lavelle.

Great start to the second half for the USWNT. Much-needed goal.

64' It's three! Another goal from a corner! The ball in is good, and Japan doesn't deal with it. It finds the foot of Kennedy Wesley, and she steers it home! It is her first international goal, and the substitute now has a goal and an assist on the night.

3-0 | #USWNT

47' And just like that, it's 1-0 USA! It's a good delivery on the corner, and substitute Wesley gets a head on it, and finds Naomi Germa for the headed goal. The crowd wanted it, and they got it!

1-0 | #USWNT

56' IT'S TWO! IT'S ROSE LAVELLE! Good play from the USWNT finds the striker in on goal, and she makes no mistake to double the lead for the United States!

Georgi Minoungou could be Sounders’ missing ingredient Despite being effectively blind in one eye, Minoungou is considered a talent with immense upside.

Yeah wrote about it quite a bit www.sounderatheart.com/2024/09/geor...

For those who don’t know, the desk slab at DSGP is a bit elevated from your normal fold up chair. It feels like you’re at the kid’s table at Thanksgiving. That’s why for 10+ seasons, I have stood during games. Starting tonight, if I fit, I sit.

My feelings around the summit mile high game. Sure the extra reach and coverage is great but a bunch of dudes sent to cover a game who can’t name a single player etc asking a slight variance of each other

This happens all the time in woso as well, and I absolutely share Frankie's frustration.

Players deserve better questions, and frankly as media we don't exactly get unlimited shots at asking one. Every "big crowd...good?" or role model question means something else isn't going to be asked.

1' Kickoff! Colorado Rapids hosting Houston Dynamo. Sam Vines returns to DSGP. This is @bymattpollard.bsky.social. After almost a month on the road, welcome home Burgundy Boys!

Wayne Frederick II is dropping back to LB in a back four when the Rapids are defending, He goes forward to make it a four in midfield in possession, tucking inside. Dare I say it, Frederick is playing the (Sam) Vinesback position. @rabbimarkasherg.bsky.social

Looks like the answer is Thompson and a back three

Are you thinking of left backs Jackson Travis and Miguel Navarro being suspended today for red cards at Toronto?
