Solid analysis as always, @JasonMa . Rapids in the last playoff spot in the west at the halfway point. If we don’t add some quality, and by quality I don’t mean a CB that only started half the time for an Israeli team, we might or might not hold on to the last playoff spot but we sure won’t advance.
I can only say to Twente " bedankt!" The lasts thing this team needs right now is another center back.
Going to my first 4th of July game. (I usually have to work 6am the next day.) Anything I should know or prepare for? Is it worth getting there early? Is parking a mess? Thanks
Heh heh heh heh. Plan on parking being a major nightmare. They change exit roads around a bit. Tailgate is awesome if you are up for a long day. Fun if they let you on the pitch still for the fireworks.

I was trying to recall when in past years I grew so frustrated with the team that I gave up caring. The excitement wear-off date, so to speak. Thinking July 4 game is the over/under each year. This year it was right at that game. Maybe next year I can make it further into July, or hope against hope into August!
Since the beginning of May, the Rapids have 3 wins, 1 draw, and 8 losses, and have scored 2+ goals twice. Some better players are needed. And not more young players that "have bright futures". Players that make the team better now.
