Hello Rapids Fans! Well, it's been an eventful week in Rapids Land. Rabbi and Red are here to break down the Kellyn Acosta-Dominique Badji trade on every level. We analyze the asset management of the trade, how Acosta fits into the team, what Colorado is losing in Badji's departure, and what the next few years hold for Acosta in MLS.
The guys provide some context and insight on this move with conversations with various players and club officials. You'll also hear directly from captain Tim Howard, who talks about Acosta's expectations, Memphis BBQ, and much more.
We also recap the Rocky Mountain Cup draw over the weekend. The guys talk about a bad 24 minutes, some good play after that, and super sub Dillon Serna sticking it to Real Salt Lake. Then we get off track and go full tactic nerds. Sorry?
Matt provides some news and notes from Boca Juniors for the friendly today. Mark has the scouting report on D.C. United for the weekend match. We end the show of course with #AskHTHL.
Oh and Matt is going to a wedding in Texas this weekend and has no idea what to wear. Please help him.
This episode does contain some profanity. Matt had a long Monday and just didn't have the mentality to edit the bits out. It's also really long. We had a lot to say. Apologies on both fronts.
