The Rapids crash out of the Open Cup and things are starting to look dire for the Colorado Rapids. After a tumultuous 18 hours of Open Cup mayhem, the Rapids now prepare for a big challenge against Western Conference giants, Los Angeles Football Club. 

The boys are back to discuss the abysmal loss to the San Jose Earthquakes as well as discuss what we want to see from the Rapids in their upcoming fixture in the US Open Cup. 

The Colorado Rapids are 3-3-3 with 11 goals for and 11 goals against. They have a nice chance against the San Jose Earthquakes to be on the better side of their record. Jared and Juan recap the win against Portland as well as look forward to what this team could, and should, look like heading into the stretch of the May games.

The Rapids failed to capitalize on a pick up game against Charlotte. Jared and Juan discuss what that means as well as the signing of Gyasi Zardes. 

The boys are back after a lengthy break. We discuss everything going in the Rapids landscape involving the two back to back losses on the road and the elephant in the room regarding the wing play and the problems that the Rapids find themselves. We also take some time to talk about Rubio's production through 7 games and discuss the upcoming 7 games on the schedule.

The Rapids failed to beat Salt Lake at home. Jared and Juan discuss the events that unfolded. 

Beat Salt Lake

Today on the C38 podcast, Juanners and Jared sit down to discuss the upcoming game against the Houston Dynamo as well as recap the Sporting Kansas City game this past Saturday.

On this midweek episode of the C38 podcast, Juanners invites Nicholas Rosser of the Stormchasers SG to talk about the local team they support: NoCo Hailstorm FC. The Hailstorm are the newest team to hit the Colorado landscape of soccer teams and we discuss with Nick all the different ways in which he is raising awareness for this team and ways in which the team can help be a pillar of community for the Northern Colorado (NoCo) area. We discuss the team, the coach, the location of the team, as well as the upcoming local fixtures the team will have as they prepare for their upcoming season in USL League One, the third division of US Soccer. The games before their inaugural match and season opener on April 19th include two friendlies this upcoming weekend. One that will feature a game on Sunday, March 20th against Rapids 2 that is also a fundraiser for the fires that shocked and devastated Boulder and it's surrounding areas last December. You can follow Nick on twitter @NicholasRosser and his podcast @LinnersandWosers as well as NoCo Hailstorm FC (@NoCoHailstormFC) and the Stormchasers SG (@StormchasersSG) for further updates on the new team out of Northern Colorado

The Rapids beat Atlanta 3-0 this past Saturday and despite the dominant victory, Juanners still believes there are questions about this side left unanswered. On the pod, we discuss Rubio and how he needs to keep the hot form up to keep the momentum of the season strong. Also, a preview of Sporting Kanas City and how their start to the season has been just as lukewarm as the Rapids. All that and much more on the Centennial 38 podcast.
