MLS Countdown just did a rundown of all the new stadiums in MLS and now I want to cry.

Every coach should hang up the first part of Keegan Rosenberry’s answer—about his 54’ banger—and every player the second part.
#Rapids96 #TORvCOL
Veteran answer from Keegan Rosenberry, in both its restraint and putting the onus on themselves, about the officiating today—and across the MLS so far this season:
#Rapids96 #TORvCOL
Loved this question framing from @bymattpollard.bsky.social and answer from Keegan Rosenberry:
#Rapids96 #TORvCOL
“2nd game w/ Miguel at LB, Jackson at RB & slotted Paxton into LW, Dante at RW, that looked like it was resulting in some nice overlapping play & some good chance creation. How are you feeling about those relationships & the tactical patterns you're creating there?”
#Rapids96 #TORvCOL
“Hey, Matt, so tough match next week against Houston, positionally speaking, and then also, since you brought up the two goals conceded, who are your full backs going to be, and are you gonna make a change in goal?”

What’s the record for number of cards in a game? Colorado Rapids response…

Fulltime. 3-2 Toronto. Game finishes 9v10.
Steffen-led meltdown. Referee had a day. Impressive from Colorado to go up 2-0. Inexcusable to lose from there.

#TFCLive v #Rapids96 was #MLS 2.0 coded. Quality of play was not as good as we've seen in the past, but the vibes and moments were electric. What a way to welcome the league back from the international break!
If Matt Wells is true to his word, I think Steffen needs to sit next week. He arguably cost us this game. #Rapids96
Herrington AGAIN. #Rapids96
Is Ian Murphy playing as a winger?!? #Rapids96
A slap on the back? That's not a fucking yellow. This ref is so not in control of this match #Rapids96
12 minutes of stoppage time. This game is finishing by chugging the rest of the bottle. #Rapids96
84’ SUBSTITUTION #Rapids96
OFF: Manyoma, Aaronson, R. Navarro
ON: Murphy, Cobb, Yapi
Line change.
TOR 2 | 2 COL
#TORvCOL
85' Goal Toronto. Josh Sargent gets his goal. The extra center-backs look silly now. Off a corner, the striker rises highest and heads past Steffen.
3-2 | #Rapids96
Of course. Completely collapsed. #Rapids96
HOW IS THAT NOT A FOUL, LET ALONE A YELLOW?!?! #Rapids96. This ref is is disgrace
Oh my God. Give the job to Hansen and never mention Steffen in national team discussions again. #Rapids96
77' Toronto goal. Steffen lets the back pass go right by him. Not good. Look away, Mauricio Pochettino. Potential foul on Rafa prior, not enough, however.
2-2 | #Rapids96
The Jared Watts/Tim Howard own goal
has just been surpassed by the Keegan Rosenberry/Zack Steffen own goal.
JFC.
#Rapids96
Zack Steffen what are you thinking?!?!
Absolutely should have been called abck for a foul in the build up, and still might with VAR, but YIKES that is a howler for #Rapids96
OMFG Steffen. #Rapids96
Ohhhh, that's super soft isnt it? #Rapids96 done harshly there.
Hey, CPL, how long until everyone can use that challenge system? Asking for some Rapids fans...
74' It's another red card for Colorado. Miguel Navarro got a poor yellow minutes earlier, and he goes somewhat near Laryea, and the referee sees enough for his third red card.
1-2 | #Rapids96
This game is super drunk. Announcers agreeing that was ridiculously harsh second yellow on M. Navarro #Rapids96
I just got a red card watching this game. #Rapids96
