When you see it…

Could not imagine more perfect conditions to play soccer in. Playoffs on the #Rapids96 home turf is less than 90 minutes away…

Rapids get a shot off for the first time in the 80th minute.


Oh also, follow us on that photo app thing?

Rosenberry addresses recent run of form but said team is ready to turn it around: “In Austin I felt that that performance gave us a lot to be excited about.”


Padraig starts with a flashback to the firing of Robin Fraser and talks about getting back to a place where the club feels they should be… “I think now we go into these playoffs in a really good frame of mind.”


Time to find out more about the state of #Rapids96

What a typo.

And yes... there is still a nightmare scenario where the Rapids can finish 9th and go to Vancouver for the play-in game. Like Kevin Garnett said: Anything is possible.


The simple answer to this? If Colorado beats the Galaxy tonight and beats Seattle on Saturday, then a Seattle win against Vancouver tonight could clinch a home playoff game on Saturday for the 'Pids. ... but that's a lot of ifs.

NEED an MLS Playoff Machine to see the scenarios where #Rapids96 can secure a Top 4 Western seed so I can book flights into Denver. Anyone done the math already? @Burgundywave @DNVR_Rapids



Technology has not been our friend today, but that won't stop us from updating you on all the playoff scenarios that're on tap for #Rapids96 heading into tonight...


I don't have my car back from the shop yet, so no practice today, but I AM filming in the new studio for the first time ever today. Just wanted to get to say that out loud and know that there aren't any headaches that can stop this from going down 😎


The original plan was to use League's Cup and the international break afterwards to get up to full speed. Then it became pretty clear that this #Rapids96 side was headed for the playoffs, so we thought... Why not lock in for October?
