Who are the guests tonight? What events will we be talking about? Are the Rapids drawing and closer to the Gomez situation?
Tuesday night's guests include: * Colin Clark: Midfielder for the Colorado Rapids * Mac Howell: Manager of Community Relations for the Colorado Predators What's on Tap for Discussion? * African Cup of Nations * MLS Team Transfer Market/New Signings * Jaime Moreno Signs Two Year Deal with DC United * International Updates Chelo is either on his way or already in England, so there are some other hosts.
Wow! What a show... Thanks Peter and Rodrigo for speaking with me. Thanks Marcelo for setting it all up - I wish your England trip to be a pleasant one. I'd like to hear what the listeners thought about my Colorado Predator's interview. Is there anything that came up or wasn't mentioned, that you would like to hear about?
Thanks Ringshot!!! I really appreciate the shout out... I think your points hit the nail on the head. Unlike Peter and Rodrigo, I do think that the indoor game as we play it can enhance a player for MLS, particularly the goal keepers. The amount of reflexes and the ability to get back to your feet is paramount since the ball bounces back into play more than the outdoor game. An example of a recent signing (by the Colorado Rapids) is Mike Graczyk who played keeper on the Albuquerque team you saw us play. Anyway, thanks again for your support.
No problem! I thought about that while at the game and decided to bring it up to FTP. The game was fun! Unfortunately, I live in Broomfield so it's quite a haul for me... but I'll be sure to try to go to the next key game! And I'm pretty sure you'll have other, closer C-Firmers going as well. G'Day...Ron
Yep, we are looking at having some exhibition games as I mentioned on the air; possibly in your area. Next, key game would be the Rocky Mountain Championship as long as we can hold on to first place it will be back at the Fieldhouse and we would definitely need your services again. I will, of course, keep you posted.
Do you guys have a tentative date set up, that way I can make sure my work doesn't conflict with a possible cup...
The Rocky Mountain Championship will be March 1st. We are one win away from claiming home field advantage. If we win, it will be for sure at 8:00PM at the Parker Fieldhouse. Background stats: At this point, we have claimed a playoff spot. The other two teams in contention are the Albuquerque Asylum FC and the Colorado Rush. The worst we can go is 6-2. The best either Albuquerque or the Rush can go is 6-2. Since we only play them once this season, we have the tie breaker over the Asylum FC due to our 18-15 win against them this past weekend. Also, since we already defeated the Colorado Rush once earlier this season by 11-4, we hold a 7 point advantage over them in the series with one game left to play. If by some unfortunate events we don't win and go 6-2 for the season and Colorado Rush also goes 6-2 and defeats us by 8 points* or more on the Feb.16th, then the Rocky Mountain Championship will be held in Colorado Springs. Otherwise, it will still be held in Parker. *Theoretically the Rush, going 6-2, can win by exactly 7 points and still get first place if they pass us in point differential; which they are currently need to score 70 more points than we do in the other 2 remaining games.
Nice on my birthday. Maybe the Preds can treat me to a great game of indoor soccer and claim the cup (if we make it, although I won't mind seeing any Colorado team win it)....
Good show this week, even without Marcelo. I like what Peter has to say and his enthusiasm. Rodrigo's really growing on me. He's doesn't watch the same games I'm seeing (Niko? Who's he kidding), but he adds a perspective that keeps the show moving.
I think MBs show is surprisingly well done and doesn't pull punches. I'm really surprised at the caliber of the guests too. i think the Rapid's fan that was on recently did a solid job.
