The Colorado Rapids are coming off one of their best years in club history, going best in the West during MLS’ regular season.
2022 has already started sour due to a slow offseason that lacked a spotlight signing and an early bump from Concacaf Champions League earlier this week. In two legs against Comunicaciones F.C., the most significant issues the Burgundy faithfully thought may pop up this year did. The Rapids scored one goal in 180 minutes of play, including nearly 80 minutes in which they were up 11 on 10. Their Round of 16 set went to penalty kicks, and then again, the Rapids struggled to put the ball in goal, missing on four of their seven chances.
