PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids Fans! This week on Holding The High Line, Kortne Ford has played a professional soccer game! We open the show with Red speaking to him. The guys banter about WoSo not coming to Denver. We attempt to recap the hot mess that was the 1-1 draw at Sporting KC. We discuss what might have influenced the officiating of that game. You can find more information here and here. Then we break down what’s up with Cole Bassett.
Colorado Rapids Podcast: Cole Bassett Discussion
How close did Bassett come to leaving the Rapids this window and why didn’t he? Has he had a bad season or is it complicated? What does this all mean for the rest of 2021 and beyond?
Rabbi and Red finish the podcast off by previewing the road game at San Jose Earthquakes.

About Us:
Matt Pollard is the Site Manager for 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 ’96. 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, the artist formally known as 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 soccer or coaching his son’s U-8 team, he’s generally studying either Talmud or medieval biblical exegesis. Which explains why he watches so much MLS, probably. Having relocated to Pittsburgh in 2019, he covers the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL for Pittsburgh Soccer Now.
