Holding The High Line: Colorado Rapids Officiating Bias?

June 16, 2023 by Last Word On Soccer

PODCAST – Hello Colorado Rapids fans. This week on Holding The High Line, Matt Pollard is joined by Brendan Ploen of the Denver Post. We discuss Lionel Messi to MLS, what the Denver Nuggets winning the NBA Championship and the reaction to it say about the Rapids, and more. Red makes good points about the loss to Orlando City. We discuss possible Colorado Rapids officiating bias or what really could be going on? Then we hype up Moïse Bombito and Ploen discusses Victory Crossing possibly actually happening?

During the show, we discuss Rabbi’s and Red’s columns on Messi, Red’s Bombito feature, and FC Ryukyu singing Country Road.

About Us:

Matt Pollard is an editor 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 2017, he covers the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL for Pittsburgh Soccer Now.
