Congrats to LA, POR, and SEA for making the playoffs while Abu Farchi runs in circles

Kamal Miller should be sent off. Extremely glad Velde doesn’t play for my team.

That’s nice 🙂
Through the 1H today, Rafa Navarro has 8g w/@stlCITYsc in 571 minutes and he had 10g for COL in 1,973 minutes in MLS play. That's 1g/71 minutes for CITY & 1g/197min for Colorado. #AllForCITY

Loïc is just making sure everyone on the back line is directly reasonable for dropping points at least once this season

The #USMNT's first post-World Cup window is in the books! Here is a breakdown of the minutes over the four wins.

Matt Wells should have 90% decision making powers to replace Bushey. It is imperative that R2 play a similar style and have a similar philosophy to the first team.

FWIW, Paxten Aaronson (5g) is within distance of Mihailovic (2022-6g), Navarro (2025-6g, 2026 w/CO-7g), and Rubio (2022-7g) for single-season open play goals. I don’t have the numbers for other 10+ goal seasons, but imagine getting to 8 would put him near the top of non-PK goals

This is partially a cherry picked stat, but also speaks to Paxten fulfilling expectations. He’s been excellent since around May. Currently at 7g/7a overall, it would be incredible to see him hit 10/10. Did not take a PK until Rafa left. TBD if he gets them or Whittaker.

So 2-years on the Rapids appear to be fumbling on both Beaudry + Campagnolo (Z) Z was always the better prospect and they worked hard to get him to CO It might not matter bc Nico Hansen turned out to be an unexpected MLS ready keeper, but still a bummer for HGs
How would you manage the #Rapids96 goalkeeping core? Steffen working his way back to the natl’ team Beaudry/Campagnolo are both top 5 domestic prospects in their ages Campagnolo (18 in March) has interest from Europe; he WILL move abroad unless the club can swing something big

Again, it probably doesn’t matter now because it looks like Hansen could probably just start for next 5 years

Kendall Starks arguably had the best run of the Rapids 2 goalies in 2026. He’s off to college in West Virginia and it doesn’t sound like returning to CO is high on his list. They have some other 2010/11 GKs that might just be next up

Felipe Gutierrez is Diego Rubio’s coach at La Serena in Chile?

Rapids 2 abysmal season is over. Although it’s a development team, winning 4 out of 28 matches should be grounds for a coaching change. You have to at least compete in half your games to serve the developmental purpose. Losing every week can’t be good.

Most MLS NP teams have an age-appropriate player who’s on a first team contract who lifts the entire team. You couldn’t tell that Ali Fadal and KSB were any different than insert random 17 year old academy kid.

All 4 of their wins came against teams that missed the playoffs. Also led the league in red cards…
