Disappointed that Matt Wells turtleneck is not included in the collection

Gonna be a great day to overload on rapids talk

For sure, I just meant the FO let Santos leave, so it seemed like Vines had the position locked up. Based on what has been said and done today, I’m not sure he’s even the backup.

Wells was raving about Travis today at the presser, and they just brought back a guy they previously thought wasn’t good enough. Vines must be having the worst possible preseason imaginable.

Haha I totally forgot we led the league in Abubakars at one point.

On a scale of Sidney Tavares to Lamine Diack, how “that’s so rapids” is the Navarro signing?

I know it’s not the main point but it took me way too long to realize “for kids launching in 2026” wasn’t about kids being born in 2026 😂

Sam Vines right now

Thankful I planned my return trip yesterday instead of today 😅

Agree, if the youth games start at 6 it should be fine. I just have ptsd from driving through DSGP for parking during those tournaments, so adding more events on that site is not ideal 😂

I know their website says it’s not there but my son has a couple of games there, including saturday. Maybe they’ve scheduled all the youth games after the stadium traffic is gone but they’ve definitely overlapped games in the past.

During a massive youth tournament that is being hosted there that weekend. Gonna be a nightmare around there.

Years ago you could watch their preseason games online if you signed up for Orlando City’s email list.

Years from now this will be an amazing piece of bar trivia

You do not, in fact, have to hand it to him.

Absolute unserious club if this is true. How does bringing this guy “back” in mid February make more sense than exercising the Santos option and giving him a full preseason to beat out Vines?

⬛️⬛️⬛️

Sooooo….you have two CBs you aren’t sure will be MLS starters so you bring in another guy who….may not be MLS ready. And likely won’t have a visa for a month anyway.

At some point you either trust the players you’ve brought in already, or admit you don’t know what you’re doing.

He doesn’t actually care what she did. She’s team Trump, that’s all that matters in his mind. And he knows he can lie about even the most easily debunked aspects of her case and it will cost him exactly zero political capital.

Thanks I hate it 😭

I do think a big international signing would help, but for me at least, Lozano wouldn’t be it. His reputation outweighs any upside.

It’s still early so I’ll keep my rose colored glasses on until we’re staring at 5 points going into the Miami game. But the more I think about the Cole move the less it makes sense.

I do love the idea that Wells saw Cole assist the only goal of the Nashville game and was like “nah this guy isn’t a good fit” 😂

I know I’m in the minority but moving the stadium would make me go to less games. I’m 5 minutes from the stadium now, no way I’d make every game if it meant driving downtown.

Ultimately, a winning team will solve a lot of attendance issues.

He’s term limited so he’ll be looking for a new job anyway soon.

How much of this is Cole wanting out vs Rapids moving on and thinking he had peak value now?

Who should rapids spend the money on to bolster the roster?

Fan favorite. Spoke his mind. Provided continuity across multiple coaching changes. This one hurts.

Not to mention Bad Bunny and Green Day as entertainment. No way his fragile ego could handle that level of booing.

Also 3 consecutive games against the same opponent is…odd. Happy to see a top tier opponent, but by night 3 what can we really expect from both sides?

So Ajayi to Rapids may be more realistic given this news 🤔
