Fulltime! Rapids win 2-0!
Goals from Hamzat and Ojediran. So many improved performances from last week. Good shift for Harris. Dominated the game at times. Cole Bassett and Antony go home without any goals or points! #Rapids96
RAPIDS SET PIECE GOAL🚨 Sealy to Herrington. Their first goal contributions for Colorado. Rapids deserve that with how dangerous they've been on set pieces.

Halftime. 1-0 on the three pointer from Hamzat Ojediran.
Way better than last week. Rapids were energetic, dynamic, physical, and creative on corners. Back and forth half. Could be 1-1. Both teams a little patient on the ball. Curous to see what Bassett does in the second half.
Scenes in CC!
Hamzat Ojediran scores from Greeley! The bounce might have troubled the keeper. Either way, love a D Mid goal. Rapids needed that.

7' GOAL RAPIDS! Ball recycled off the corner. Gets to Hamzat Ojediran and he shoots from 30 yards out! It bounces past the keeper! Aaronson with the assist.
1-0 | #Rapids96

For reference, the population of the Burlington metro area is about 225k. So this is about one ticket request for every 23 people. For a USL-2, semipro team. The Green have built something incredible, and in like four years

Drippin or Trippin?
Wells took responsibility for it. “We as a group, me included, were way off the level that we have set.”
This is the best postgame press conference with a Rapids coach in some time. Zero coach speak. Informative and to the point.
Full Rapidsing now.
We’ve had a goal.
Overturned goal
Red card
Which was then overturned but called a reckless yellow?
Oh the Rapids are so back baby!
1' Kickoff! The Matt Wells era has begun. Colorado Rapids at Seattle Sounders. This is @bymattpollard.bsky.social. Not in the face.

Colorado Rapids first starting XI under Matt Wells:
Steffen(c)
Cannon-Herrington-Cobb-Travis
Ojediran-Aaronson-Atencio
Sealy-R. Navarro-Yapi
Bench: Hansen, Rosenberry, Holding, Manyoma, Frederick, Harris, Ronan, KDP, M. Navarro
We're assuming it's a 4-3-3. Might be wrong.
SUMS KIT
Matt Wells and Pádraig Smith getting rid of Rapids Homegrowns like Traitors murdering Faithfuls. We just got so much clarity for a Rapids preseason that had so many unknowns. Wells did say change would be difficult.
BREAKING: Colorado Rapids have bought out and waived left back Homegrown Sam Vines. Even with the Miguel Navarro loan and Vines on $900,000, did not see this coming.
Just an asinine thing to say for someone who grew up in Chicago.
There’s 3 El lines, a commuter rail & bus routes right there. Nothing around it?!
Shae, can I introduce you to the booming metropolis of Commerce City, CO? Truly the perfect stadium land use model. Zero transit, all superfund vibes.
Great move. With Denver Summit officially breaking the NWSL attendance record, they've opened the upper bowl at Mile High starting at $20. For comparison, the get in price for the 500s for the Rapids-Miami game is $92 right now.
Fans, stay tuned to @burgundywave.bsky.social ahead of the
@mls.bsky.social opener for a cool 1v1 chat I had with @coloradorapidsbot.bsky.social Dante Sealy. You're really going to enjoy him in this team. A humble, chill, personable guy off-pitch+confident, determined, relentless attacker on-pitch.
Sam Bassett has signed a one-year deal with USL Championship defending champs Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Team option for 2027. He previously was on loan at Nashville. Good fit. It’s fun that the younger Bassett Hound is now a Riverhound.

New NWSL attendance-record 🚨
@denversummitfc.bsky.social is coming in HOT into their inaugural NWSL season, selling over 45,000+ tickets for their home opener at Empower Field, breaking the single-game league attendance record of 40,091... And the season hasn't even started 🤯
KSE President of Team & Media Operations, Kevin Demoff on club's valuation:
"It's embarrassing. We should not be there as KSE. I can tell from the fanbase that there is skepticism. That's fine. That's earned. We don't have a brand new stadium. Doesn't mean it can't be packed."
Padraig Smith on winter transfers:
"We worked on acquiring two players for positions... a defensive midfielder that we filled with Hamzat [Ojediran]... a left-footed right winger. We achieved that with Dante Sealy."
Said left-back was an area where they wanted more competition.
What Matt Doyle leaving MLS Soccer dot com says about the league and its media coverage:

Some up close details. The blue lettering looks nice. The sleeves look better in person. The black has some texturing. Still a plain shirt with an ironic name. That zip up jacket from Topo Designs IS 🔥
