PODCAST (August 30, 2018) – Hello Rapids Fans! This week on Holding The High Line, Rabbi is back! The wifi is working, so you don’t have to listen to Red talk for 40 minutes all by himself without a water break. Unfortunately, the worst Colorado Rapids loss in club history happened on Saturday, losing to Real Salt Lake 6-0. We try to make sense of that game, what it means, and how the fans and the club can move on from what the heck happened in that game.
Holding The High Line: Worst Colorado Rapids Loss
We then preview the friendly in Memphis against Tulsa Roughnecks FC. It turns into a smorgasbord conversation on the USL, talent levels throughout U.S. Soccer, squad rotation, and why the Rapids need a win on Wednesday.

Matt Pollard is the Managing Editor of Last Word on Soccer and an 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.
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.
