Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we've got some election distraction content. Rabbi and Red talk after the Colorado Rapids LA Galaxy Game 2 in which the Rapids lost 4-1.
We recap how injuries to Cole Bassett and Djordje Mihalović hampered the Pids in this series with the Gs. We give some kudos to Oli Larraz for another big goal in a big game. Chris Armas took a big risk with the formation change, what he called (mostly) a 3-4-3. It worked and we might be excited to see it next year. Regardless, the Rapids came up short. We discuss what went wrong, what it says about the club, and what it means going forward.
