Holding The High Line, a Colorado Rapids Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Hello Colorado Rapids fans! Surprise, we have an episode during the international break! The week before Labor Day, Red spoke with Federico from MLS Soccer Italia about the Pids. We discuss the team's tremendous turnaround from 2023 to 2024. We also talk supporters culture, DICK's and more given the Pids are an MLS original and paved the way for MLS expansion teams from tomorrow.

Most of this information you already know. But it's refreshing to hear that someone new to the league and looking at it from a European perspective sees the value in the Rapids and wants to learn more. Enjoy.

Also, here's that episode with legendary Italian Rapids fans, Lino De Rosa.

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it's the international break. Also Red's going on the engineering equivalent of international duty. The guys talk about that Darren Yapi winner among other things.

Rabbi and Red banter about quidditch and soccer team names. We do Good Thing, Bad Thing, Big Thing on the win over FC Dallas. It was a lot of meh and a game of moments. Leagues Cup energy for sure for the Burgundy Boys.

Then we preview the home match against Portland Timbers. That will be after the international break. Do the Timbers own the Rapids? Are they their Kryptonite along with LAFC? Or does this just come down to who the hope team is?

We finish talking the Zack Steffen USMNT snub?

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we're back and still buzzing from the Rocky Mountain Cup. Rabbi and Red do a full Colorado Rapids Leagues Cup preview.

Could both the men's and women's teams medal in Paris? We discuss the state of Leagues Cup as many around MLS are boycotting the tournament in solidarity with the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Mark finally gets a word in on the loss to LA Galaxy and Colorado's huge 3-2 win over RSL to clinch the 2024 Rocky Mountain Cup. Then we look ahead to Leagues Cup. There's revenge in mind for the Portland Timbers on Thursday. Then the Marcelo Balboa Classico against Club Leon on Monday.
