The Colorado Rapids and New York City FC are not conference rivals. We aren’t even in the same conference, so we only see the Yankees of MLS once a year. While they are suffering from a bunch of injuries, the Rapids are coming off of their first away win, which should make for an interesting game at altitude. Confidence should be high for the Burgundy Boys this week, especially at home, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy.
We talked to Jake at Hudson River Blue about whether or not NYCFC will come at the Rapids full force, how to slow them down if they do, and what is going on with Andrea Pirlo?
