Youngest team in the Western Conference, 4th youngest in MLS. Everyone locally and nationally doubted this hire. 1st in xG. 4th in the West behind 3 great teams who spend more money.
If Colorado Rapids keep this up, Chris Armas should be a finalist for MLS Coach of the Year.

August 2024 has been one of the best months in Colorado Rapids history. Down twice, the Rapids come back. Hung around, took their chances, and found a way to win. A brace from Navarro. Then Darren Yapi in stoppage time! WHAT. A. MONTH.

With the Rapids finishing third in Leagues Cup, don't want to hear anyone other than Wilfried Nancy mentioned for MLS Coach of the Year over Chris Armas. Columbus wins Leagues Cup and comes back to win the Shield, fine give it to Nancy.

Fulltime! 2-2!
Good effort to get a result. Miami with better chances but down at half. Lionel Messi and Barca friends sub in and change the game. Colorado gets one chance down 2-1 and makes it count. What a moment for Bassett to earn a point at Inter Miami! History.

Sources tell Burgundy Wave that Colorado Rapids have interest in signing Kellyn Acosta. The former Rapids midfield war daddy (2018-21) is a free agent. He's wanted to play in Europe. That led to his departure in 2022. A reunion could happen if foreign targets don't work out.
