Holding The High Line: Zac MacMath and Company Prepare for Orlando City SC

Podcast – Hello Rapids Fans! Today, Rabbi and Red have a jam-packed show. We review the nearly great result against Real Salt Lake, much to the chagrin of Mark. The guys talk about the great opening 20 minutes, the following 60 minutes, and the disappointing final 10 minutes. We discuss the red card to Tim Howard and a few other keynotes.

Then we do a deep dive into all things Orlando City SC. We talk about the club also being in transition and the attacking weapons they have. The guys look at how the Rapids can beat them and on their first national tv game of the season no less.

Matt then provides some updates from training in a segment of ‘From Field 20’ featuring an exclusive sit-down with Zac MacMath. We finish with some amusing Ask HTHLs. We weren’t able to get to all the questions we got via Twitter, so we will respond by Wednesday evening via Twitter whether we answered the question in this episode or not.

Holding The High Line with Rabbi and Red is an independent soccer podcast centered around the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.

Matt Pollard is the Managing Editor of Last Word on Soccer and engineer by day. A Colorado Convert, he started covering the Colorado Rapids as a credentialed member of the press in 2016, though he’s watched MLS since it started. When he’s not watching or writing about soccer, he’s being an outdoorsman (mostly skiing and hiking) in this beautiful state or trying a new beer. For some reason, he thought that starting a podcast with Mark was a good idea and he can’t figure out how to stop this madness. He also hosts Last Word SC Radio. Follow him on Twitter @LWOSMattPollard.

Mark Goodman, aka the Rapids Rabbi, moved to Colorado in 2011. Shortly thereafter he went to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, saw Lee Nguyen dribble a ball with the silky smoothness of liquid chocolate cascading into a Bar Mitzvah fountain, and promptly fell head over heels in love with domestic soccer. When not watching MLS or coaching U8 soccer, he’s generally studying either Talmud or medieval biblical exegesis. Which explains why he watches so much MLS, probably. He writes about the Rapids for Around MLS and covers the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL for Last Word on Soccer. He also writes for American Soccer Analysis. Follow him on Twitter @rapidsrabbi.
