The Colorado Rapids had high hopes when they departed for Orlando. In the few weeks since, their momentum has been crushed, leaving behind more questions than answers.
Head coach Robin Fraser took over near the end of last season, and the club finished strong under his stewardship. That energy carried into 2020 as the Rapids opened 2-0-0, making them 7-2-0 in the boss’ first nine matches.
Then came COVID-19, an extended pause in play, and this month’s disappointing showing at the MLS is Back Tournament.
A lackluster effort in a 2-0 loss to Real Salt Lake set the tone early.
