Most MLS teams that do that use the roof so maybe there’s some structural/logistical complexity that’s not obvious. But to your point, it seems simple and would be an easy win and it hasn’t happened and there’s a lot of those with this club.

There were a few panels on Game Boy screen. β€œA wild Timber appeared!” RapidMan used some attack. β€œIt’s Super Effective!”

There’s no infrastructure to do hoisting. It’s been discussed for years. Add it to the list of things we’d like changed about DSG.

Rob Holding says he was a bit up set that Lucas Herrington got the MOTM Oar for his first home game and he still hasn't gotten one. The oar looked like it had the Union Jack on it.

PRO Response to Pool Reporter Question on the Jimer Fory red card:

Portland #27 made no attempt to play the ball, lunging at the opponent with studs exposed. This tackle endangered the safety of the opponent.

PRO Response to Pool Reporter Question on the Pantemis yellow card that was a possible DOGSO:

A yellow card was issued due to the direction of play and the fact that there were two covering defenders with a possibility to defend.

Phil Neville interrupts the press conference with Matt Wells to say hello and congratulations. Wells said good luck with the takeoff given the wind/turbulence. Goods sportsmanship. Funny human moment.

"The response from last week, the mentality. Much closer to the identity we want to have as a team. Really pleased" - Matt Wells on the performance

He joked about how he wanted that one back! He was miffed that Lucas Herrington got the MOTM oar that had a Union Jack on it!

Great minds think alike. Rapids still win so who cares. No we get to multiscreen the night games. Yes ha ha ha yes.

Cole Bassett chatted it up with a bunch of former teammates. He traded shirts with Connor Ronan.

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

84' THE COLORADO RAPIDS HAVE SHUTOUT ANTONY! The Brazilian subs out having previously scored 6 goals in 6 games against the Rapids.

2-0 | #Rapids96

28.02.2026 23:21 β€” πŸ‘ 15    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 1

82' Rapids triple subs: Ted Ku-DiPietro, Connor Ronan, and Keegan Rosenberry on. Sealy, Travis, and Atencio off. That will do it for Rapids subs.

2-0 | #Rapids96

77' RED CARD! Jimer Fory with a slide tackle on Aaronson. Call stands. That should be game.

73' Yellow card to goalkeeper Pantemis. Came out of the box and tackled Cannon. Not a DOGSO based on positioning of others. Set piece goes off the crossbar and out.

2-0 | #Rapids96

72' Rapids are bossing the game. The midfield's doing such a good job of getting open for easy passing triangles. No idea what Portland's doing. No pressure on the ball. Waiting for a turnover to then counter but that's not working. @stumptownfooty.bsky.social

69' Not in the face! Guerra with a half volley on a cross and Steffen saves it off his face for a corner!

62' Cole Bassett gets on the ball and takes on a defender 1-v-1. Heard some boos from the south end of the stadium. Could fans be booing Cole?

59' Another Rapids sub: Wayne Frederick on for Ojediran. That's two sub windows used quickly.

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.
