Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, we complain about the Concacaf Overton Window. Rabbi and Red banter about hotel art and our 2025 Highliner scarf merch!

Then we discuss the Concacaf Palencia investigation. It answered one question but prompted several more. Is the confederation to be taken seriously? Are the clubs at fault for the lack of transparency? Is Sergi Palencia innocent given this statement? Did Chido Awaziem cry wolf and if so, should he be punished? We discuss.

Then we do Good Thing, Bad Thing, Big Thing on the 3-3 draw with FC Dallas. Shout out to FC Dallas Comms for getting us the opening audio of the conversation with Lalas Abubakar. We preview Saturday's match with Austin FC, new players, Decision Day revenge, and all.

At the end of the show, we discuss Northern Colorado Hailstorm almost merging with Rapids 2. We talk U.S. Soccer on the brink of hosting the 2031 Women's World Cup and what it means for Denver and the new NWSL team. Then we have an Ask HTHL on Chris Armas' tactics and formation as it relates to the midfield.
