Good Lord! Ralph Priso AND Oli Larraz revenge game‽ Give me Caps by a mile, a red card, and the busiest night the Rapids Physios have seen all season. Conversely, #Rapids96 might get the upset playing a 9-man Vancouver side. #COLvVAN

Ok, but streets are saying Matt Wells hates strikers. WHY DOES MATT WELLS HATE STRIKERS‽ #COLvVAN #Rapids96 📸 Colorado Rapids

$12M, straight 💵 Cash ▫️That’s how much one club (STL) decided a run at 2 ‘26 trophies & a CONCACAF Champions Cup berth was worth. ▫️That’s also how much another club (COL) decided building for ‘27-‘29 was worth. ▫️Opportunity Cost = Whittaker NOW vs ‘26 Hardware Shot + $8m/Different Winger in ‘27

4 Goals in 5 Matches between club and country for Donavan Phillip, and the feeling that we are starting to see his star ascend. #Rapids96

PIDCAST@pidcast.bsky.social

26' GOAL #RAPIDS96| DONAVAN PHILLIP, the Saint Lucian Sensation, skies over his marker on the corner to head the ball down, to the far post and in. Paxten Aaronson delivered the corner from the left flag. COL 1 | 0 SJ #COLvSJ

1' #Rapids96 have some nice build up from their third via Cannon and Atencio to Aaronson who releases it forward to Farkhi. Farkhi puts it across to Phillip who digs it off the goal line. #COLvSJ

5' SJ dangerous FK off the right corner of the 18. They get cheeky with it & go top of the box then left of the box. Jasinski in but a sliding Wayne Frederick disrupts the shot. In the process, we see Wayne chose the white compression shorts, rather than the customary black, tonight. #COLvSJ

SJ XI #COLvSJ A strong runout, even sans Tsakiris. And immediate props to SJ Admin for “Elevation” vs “Altitude” 🫡

0' KICKOFF #COLvSJ As of now the front six looks pretty fluid: Farki up top, Aaronson left, Whittaker #10, Phillip right.

#Rapids96 XI #COLvSJ 📋 Pids out in a 4-3-3 with Whittaker & Phillip wingers? Or a 4-4-2 with Farkhi & Phillip hunting as a pair. ✅ Ibrahim Sadiq makes his first selection. 😬 Darren Yapi 3rd choice striker

This news absolutely breaks my heart for the Rapids at the same time it excites me to see Erik get to own his team’s identity. I have learned so much from Erik while covering him for two seasons. Fantastic Human. Soccer Philosopher. Colorado Legend. A shootout away from a Championship. Class.

Rob Holding's gotta be careful to not talk himself into a second yellow.

It’s the year 2027. Rapids are in their second season of the calendar. Matt Wells is fielding 7 fullbacks, Morgan Whittaker, Paxten Aaronson and Donavan Phillip. They win every game after conceding first. And most games after scoring first.

PIDCAST@pidcast.bsky.social

HALFTIME: LA 0 | 2 COL Don't even know how to begin to analyze this half of soccer. Galaxy are objectively bad, Rapids are subjectively fielding a formation, Colorado is collectively incredibly fun to watch tonight. Donavan. Pax. Holding vs Ref. Loving this veering into MLS After Dark. #LAvCOL

4' GOAL RAPIDS Donavan Phillip, on a pass from Josh Atencio to release him, turns on the gets and puts a no-doubter into the net, one on one with Marinkowski. LA 0 | 1 COL #LAvCOL

Donavan Phillip now has two goals in two starts for #Rapids96. Even more important, the celly dance was much better tonight for Uncle Phil. #LAvCOL

Also the first time Travis has started in a long time

That’s……a lineup for Colorado. Every fullback except Thompson is starting. Phillip is seeming the starting 9 over Yapi. I gotta see this formation

We can all agree the #rapids96 are the shoe-in ‘27-‘28 MLS Cup Winner now. As many would have you believe, the video board was the final hurdle to success. Book it. Watch it in 4K at The Dick.

42’ YELLOW CARD 🟨 REGGIE CANNON Initially just a whistle for pulling down the STL player out of frustration, but then turns to a yellow when he shares that frustration with the referee. #COLvSTL

Matt Wells and Morgan Whittaker were having quite a chat with the 4th official about the play leading up to the goal. Same with Captain Loïc Williams with the center ref in the field. I little baffled Beaudry wasn’t sent off for DOGSO by grabbing Sang-Bins ankles. #COLvSTL

31’ GOAL SAINT LOUIS #Rapids96 going to be on the #WPIOOTBGW highlights tonight for that backpass to Adam Beaudry and the ensuing muffed clear right to Sang-Bin. Beaudry dives at Sang-Bins ankles as the gold shirted player walks the ball into goal. COL 0 | 1 STL #COLvSTL

32’ Wayne Frederick was the only one to walk back to Adam Beaudry, dap him up and hug him after the mistake. Character. #COLvSTL

18’ Totland’s shoes look at the ball as they cut through Morgan’s feet. Ref whistles and gives Tomas a good talking to. Whittaker & Minoungou both have been getting bullied. Damet and Baumgartl cited #Rapisa96 wingers as a point of emphasis in their pregame. #COLvSTL

22’ Beaudry easily catches a long FK from Edelman. Beaudry also single-handedly (literally) kept the score at 0 against a streaking, solo Sang-Bin earlier. #COLvSTL

15’ A sixth of the game down and the Open Cup refs seemed to have done their homework on officiating this particular matchup. Both teams have been called for real pushes and let play through soft ones. STL tried the “Rob Holding Red Card” play around 9’, Williams bailed them out. #COLvSTL
