I hate that this could apply to more than one player at any minute this week

5 languages you’d want to be instantly fluent in:

1. Hawaiian (to understand and help my nephews more with their culture)
2. Spanish (helpful for many reasons, including soccer)
3. Japanese (because I'm never going to get it myself)
4. German (for gaming)
5. Swedish (family background)

Hell, just forfeit and don't travel. Thy can use the Djordje money to pay the fine from the league. 😁

He certainly can't alter who's counted, but does anything prevent an additional census between the 10 year censuses (Is that the plural of census?).

Hey, if looking like an uninformed idiot is your thing more power too you. I'm still going to put out the factual data though so anyone reading your drivel knows what's really going on.

Thanks, I had the exact details of who travels and why wrong. But the point remains. This wasn't a one off or some poor scheduling by the MLS teams as he was claiming, this was built into the structure of the competition.

You should stop digging when people point out you're wrong.

The top Liga MX seeds in each of the 6 pods got one "home" game against the lowest seeded MLS team. For example the Rapids are travelling to LA tonight to play Cruz Azul.

Talk to me when you get 6 in a row against Liga MX sides. Then we can talk about one of one 😁

I think the schedule change is a stupid idea but the one thing that I do like about it is that it avoids the international break that results in weird playoff scheduling.

Will Mihailovic be playing? Will Navarro?

And with Portland going to PKs, the Rapids are officially eliminated from Leagues Cup

Fair enough, but right now (without Djordje) he's going to get similar results playing on this team.

07.08.2025 01:19 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

But if they don't sell him do you have any faith that they'll find a setup made close to Djordje? Because without that, Rafa Navarro is Portuguese for Kevin Doyle.

07.08.2025 00:25 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

The problem with Colorado is bigger than 'do they sell Rafa?'

The Q is, if they *don't* sell Rafa, will they build around him for a cup run in 2026? And if they don't, will he force his way out, like Djordje?

This team & ownership either needs to become ambitious or accept perpetual irrelevancy.

Do you think they will continue to pursue Navarro now that this is done?

@jeremiah.sounderatheart.com I have the Rapids at 4-5-2 all time against Liga MX. That's the '98 CCC Rapids-Leon series, the '11-'12 CCL group games against Santos, and the 7 games in LC play over the last 3 years. Wins were over Leon in '98 and some of the 5 in a row LC run that weren't shootouts

All the worst people are mad about our tifo. Truly the greatest response you could ever hope for. Thanks, pal.

He's complaining about this and running his mouth while in just over a week his USMNT defensive partner is getting his number retired by the team he dedicated his playing and post-playing career to.

There's a lesson there, but he won't see it.

Honestly, odds are Navarro is never going to be worth more than he is now. I hate selling him because I have absolutely no faith in this FO to replace him, but without Mihailovic to feed him he becomes another Kevin Doyle.

06.08.2025 18:27 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 3    πŸ“Œ 1

Do you really think that we'll sign someone who can make Navarro as successful as he has been?

Fred is now retired and often will post up at the Hanger Bar on Father's Day and/or his birthday. I had somebody get him to autograph a still of him fishing from the plane float for me.

Years later, when Spielberg was filming Jurassic Park on Kauai Hurricane Iniki hit. Fred was the pilot of the first group over to Kauai to check on the production crew after the hurricane.

At the Indy-themed Jock Lindsey Hanger Bar at WDW there's a "T-Rex tooth" and a thank you note to Jock.

The pilot at the beginning of Raiders, Jock, is not an actor. Fred Sorenson was the pilot the production crew hired to fly them around Hawaii looking for filming locations. When they were trying to figure out who to cast for the pilot in that scene, they asked him if he'd do it. 1/2
