It’s been a difficult year for his Colorado Rapids, but Tim Howard isn’t giving up hope on the 2017 season.
Colorado’s 1-0 loss at San Jose and Minnesota’s 4-0 win over D.C. United on Saturday vaulted the Loons over the Rapids in the standings, leaving Howard and his teammates in last place in the Western Conference and 21st in MLS.
The magic of the 2016 season, when Colorado rode their league-best defense to a surprising second-place finish in the Supporters’ Shield and dispatched the LA Galaxy in the playoffs before falling in the Western Conference Championship to Seattle, has completely evaporated.
