Rabbi and Red — Wed, 13 May 2026 04:34:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got more big news and a triple game week. Oh the Rob Holding DOGSO.

The guy banter about Leander Schaerlaeckens' new book "The Long Game" about the USMNT. Also we've got takes on VARsenal probably winning the Premier League.

We break down the 0-1 loss to St. Louis CITY, wind, the controversial red card, and more. Are we worried? Is it now panic time? And what does this say about next week?

We then look ahead to the two games this week. There will be squad rotation against James Rodriguez and Minnesota United. Real Salt Lake is doing some new things tactically under Pablo Mastroeni. They've got wingers who are vibes, not just Diego Luna.

Oh, and the MLSPA dropped the player salaries. We do a deep dive on what you need to know about the Burgundy Boys getting paid.

Here's Red's article about the player salaries.

I-25 Derby. Houston. Ryan Sabin. Kei Kamara. St. Louis City Preview.

Rabbi and Red — Wed, 06 May 2026 04:49:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we again have too much to discuss. We banter about the Darren Yapi U22 contract extension. And we do some International Roster slit arbitrage math with Rob Holding getting his green card.

HTHL recaps the I-25 Derby game that had everything. Colorado Springs Switchbacks and Yosuke Hanya were good. There was that Kosi Thompson red card and the Josh Atencio handball. The penalty shootout. But also rest in peace Ryan Sabin.

We then talk about the Houston Dynamo game. There's not much to judge given the injuries. But is this fixture congestion or a bigger concern about Matt Wells Ball?

The guys then look ahead to St. Louis CITY. It's a get right game for the injured Pids.

Oh, and Kei Kamara retired.

Check out Rabbi's latest edition of Backpass. It is an EXCELLENT piece on Matt Wells' tactics.

Life after Messi: Is the US Open Cup the Rapids' Best Chance for a Trophy?

Andre Simone, Duane Brown, Yahir Vasquez — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 16:40:20 GMT

The road to silverware starts tonight. With the MLS season proving to be a gauntlet, the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has officially become the most direct path for the Colorado Rapids to bring a trophy back to the Mile High City.

In today’s episode, the DNVR Rapids crew previews tonight's Round of 16 "Derby" against the Colorado Springs Switchbacks at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. After a historic night at Empower Field that saw the second-largest crowd in MLS history (75,824 fans!) witness a battle against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, we re-evaluate where this team stands in the Western Conference hierarchy.

How do the recent results against Miami, LAFC, and Vancouver shift our expectations for the rest of 2026? We dive into the tactical adjustments needed for the cup, the latest news surrounding the Denver Summit, and why tonight's matchup against the Switchbacks is a "must-win" for momentum.

On today’s show:

• US Open Cup Fever: Is this the Rapids' best chance at hardware this season?

• The Messi Effect: Reflecting on a historic, record-breaking afternoon at Mile High.

After 10 games: the Rapids sit in the middle of the pack in the West (4-5-1). The US Open Cup offers a chance to pivot from "playoff hopeful" to "trophy winner.”

• Western Conference Reality Check: Analyzing the gap between the Rapids and the top-tier contenders like LAFC and Vancouver.

• The Local Derby: Previewing tonight’s Round of 16 clash vs. Colorado Springs Switchbacks.

• Summit & Rapids News: Updates on the local soccer landscape and the NWSL's Denver Summit.

• Tactical Preview: Who starts tonight? Rotating the squad for the midweek cup tie.

Toronto Recap. Houston Preview. Sam Vines. Rebrand Update.

Rabbi and Red — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 03:31:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. You may be disappointed, but are you not entertained? This week on Holding The High Line, we talk left back red cards and much more.

Rabbi and Red banter about the World Cup ticket price fiasco getting worse. We talk Messi headlines getting misconstrued. Also, how are ticket sales going for the 30th Anniversary game at Mile High?

We talk about the wild 3-2 loss at Toronto FC. We go through all the officiating calls including the three red cards. The guys discuss whether the Zack Steffen own goal is an indication of a bigger problem and what it means. But hey, at least Djordje Mihailović didn't start.

They guys react to the Rapids One Club, One Legacy update. They will not be rebranding but will reimagine the crest. We discuss what that means and what's off the table. We're optimistic. But the club on some level is still putting the merchandise cart before the horse.

We preview Houston Dynamo. Who's starting at left back? What do we think of Sam Vines returning to DSGP?

Oh, and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is back. USL League One side Union Omaha comes to town on Tuesday.

We also get his take on Matt Wells' tactical approach and the new-look 2026 Colorado Rapids. We also make jokes about obviously being his favorite podcast, since we're named after him.

Denver Summit Attendance. Toronto Preview. Mihailović and Fraser. Georgi Minoungou.

Rabbi and Red — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 04:50:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. Happy April Fools. On this episode of Holding The High Line, we preview the Toronto FC game.

The guys banter about the Denver Summit home opener and the attendance record that was set. We do a round table on the international window. The USMNT is back in a familiar and disappointing state. A number of Rapids players had good call-ups. The Lucas Herrington and Darren Yapi hype is real.

Rabbi and Red breakdown the end of the transfer window. Georgi Minoungou and Kosi Thompson were late additions. Luïc Williams was official as well.

Then we talk TFC, Robin Fraser, Djordje Mihailović and more.

Are the Colorado Rapids latest additions the key to them being MLS contenders?

ALLCITY Network — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Colorado Rapids have added some serious fire power at the end of the transfer window with the likes of Georgi Minoungou and Loic Williams. Will theses additions be enough for Matt Wells to make the Rapids a real contender? Denver Summit FC have broken the record for the largest attendance to any non international women sporting event, but their biggest accomplishments have come on the pitch. Getting favorable results against top NWSL teams has put them in a spot ready to compete for the rest of the season. USMNT and the rest of CONCACAF battled European juggernauts in their latest friendlies. How did they fair against high level competition? Join Andre Simone, Duane Brown and Yahir Vazquez as they discuss all things soccer on the DNVR Rapids Podcast.

Memories From Toronto: Goalkeeper Matt Pickens

Rabbi and Red — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:22:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. On this episode of Memories From Toronto, we speak to goalkeeper Matt Pickens.

Red speaks to the beard about his soccer journey that led him to Colorado Rapids. We talk about how the club assembled and established that formidable defense. Pickens gets real on Gary Smith and the club politics during that time.

We then talk about that playoff run. There's the extra time and penalty shootout at Columbus Crew in the second leg. The Eastern Conference Final vs San Jose. And of course the MLS Cup Final. The freezing cold.

Then it all comes crashing down. Pickens discusses how that team got broken up and how they all went their separate ways. Matt talks about his path to coaching and reuniting with Smith.

Calvin Harris Interview. Loïc Williams. International Window. Denver Summit.

Rabbi and Red — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 14:04:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Soccer fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we open up with friend of the pod Daniel Sperry's Calvin Harris interview after the game on Saturday. Then we talk about the Luïc Williams signing.

Rabbi and Red banter about Hudson River Blues shutting down (rest in peace) and Sam Vines to Houston Dynamo. We think it's a good fit for the Vines Back. The we break down that 1-4 victory against Sporting KC. Matt Wells Ball arrived. Paxten Aaronson and Wayne Frederick had their best performances for the club.

The guys talk international window, World Cup qualifying, USMNT, and Luïc Williams.

With no Rapids game this weekend, we touch on Denver Summit FC hosting The Kickoff, their first home game this Saturday at Mile High Stadium at noon. We answer some very good Ask HTHLs.

NYCFC Review. Sporting KC Preview. MLS Cup on a Friday.

Rabbi and Red — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:57:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, it is Saint Patrick's Day. Red gets a bit independent against the English. Sorry, not sorry.

We banter about the USMNT Word Cup kits. We also discuss the MLS Cup Playoffs schedule and the MLS Cup Final being moved to a Friday. The guys also discuss why no Colorado Rapids player, past or present, is making the World Cup other than Auston Trusty and Moïse Bombito.

Rabbi and Red recap the 3-1 loss to New York City FC. How much of this game came down to the small pitch at Yankees Stadium? How good was Darren Yapi? And what do we make of the team still trying to play out of the back?

Then we turn to Saturday's game against Sporting KC. Calvin Harris will play his first match against his former club. What do we make of SKC's season so far and their small roster? How should we judge this game given the state of them, the Rapids, and the fact that Colorado lost both games to them last year? We discuss.

Darren Yapi. LA Galaxy red. CRYSC. NYCFC Preview.

Rabbi and Red — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 04:42:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we talk about the Rapids War Chest of GAM, CRYSC, and more.

The guys recap the 4-1 win over LA Galaxy. There were so many standout performances, namely Darren Yapi and captain Rafael Navarro. The game was affected significantly by an injury and the red card. Are there underlying tactical concerns still for Matt Wells and the Pids? We discuss.

Then we have a roundtable on a bunch of topics. Mark has an update on this year's podcast merch. Matt gives some updates for Denver Summit as they kickoff their expansion season in NWSL. We talk MLS suspending players for life for betting and the underlying hypocrisy in that. Then we chat about the updated MLS GAM number. How should the Rapids fill their two open U22 slots and should Darren Yapi's contract extension fit in there?

Red also talks about why the Colorado Rapids Youth Soccer Club and Colorado Soccer Association news isn't as bad as some have thought.

Then we preview Colorado's game at Yankees Stadium against New York City FC. Oh, and Bill from Missourah asks us what engineering and Torah concepts the Pids are.

Rabbi and Red — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:56:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, that first 20 minutes was rough. And we have the Cole Bassett Revenge Tour to look forward to?

The guys banter about Denver Summit launching the "Evergreen Kit." We recap the 2-0 loss at Seattle Sounders. The first half was a mess. The second half was better because of the substitutes. There were a few good performances and a lot of bad ones. We break down the tactics, the lack of execution, and the fascinating Matt Wells postgame press conference.

The boys react to Sam Vines getting waived and bought out by the club. We give him his flowers, a reasonable amount. We discuss what went wrong for Vinesy, what it means for him and the club, and whether the 2021 Vines Back is still in there.

Then we preview the home opener on Saturday. What do the Rapids need to do better? What can we expect from Cole Bassett and the Portland Timbers? Oh, and how about that fan forum and the screen updates?

2026 Colorado Rapids Season Preview

Rabbi and Red — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 05:58:00 GMT

Hello Colorado Rapids fans! Welcome to season nine of Holding The High Line with Rabbi and Red! On this episode, we do our full 2026 Colorado Rapids season preview!

Before we preview, we discuss Matt Doyle leaving MLS dot com. Mark gives his key observations from Rapids Media Day. We talk Miguel Navarro returning to the Rapids and the end of preseason.

Here are our XI questions that will define the 2026 Colorado Rapids:

What is Matt Wells' game model and will it work?
What is Paxten Aaronson's role and how will the midfield work without Cole Bassett?
Will Rafael Navarro stay and can the team support him offensively?
What are our expectations for Dante Sealy given the $1.9 million price tag?
Can Hamzat Ojediran be Hamzat The Destroyer and make the team concede less goals?
Who is starting at left center back and left back and will they be good enough?
Who starts at the other winger opposite Dante Sealy and will they be good enough?
Who will be the captain and who will provide the vocal leadership this team needs?
How will Denver Summit impact the Rapids?
Can the Rapids capitalize on the game at Mile High and the World Cup?
Will KSE bring back the members of the front office who are in a contract year?

Oh, and we also talk about the Seattle Sounders game. Gulp.

We discuss a few pieces of content during the episode. Here's Mark's Western Conference preview. Here's Matt Pollard's article about Matt Doyle. For those interested in MLS Fantasy, here's links for Kickbase, Fantasy UTD, and Sofascore.
