Description
The Rapids fall in Vancouver, but is it a warning sign or just the cost of facing elite teams in a brutal stretch?
This week we break down the 3-1 loss to the Whitecaps, what we learned from a run against Miami, LAFC and Vancouver, and whether Matt Wells is ahead of schedule with this group. We also preview the Colorado Derby against the Switchbacks in the US Open Cup, discuss squad rotation, and ask how seriously the Rapids should push for silverware.
Plus:
- Was Vancouver just better, or were cracks exposed?
- Concerns around depth and fixture congestion
- Zack Steffen discussion
- Colorado Derby preview
- Can the Rapids make a real Cup run?
