Riqui Puig is such a talented player. I really wished him to succeed at Barca when he was young. Not sure what went wrong for him. Good to see him enjoying his MLS career.
@@TheHidben no he didn’t. He was rejecting every loan offer, Barcelona sold him to LA for Free with a 50% sell on clause because of his partying with pique
No, it's really not. It's like the leading scorer is some random person who scored one goal in the past three seasons combined or something bizarre like that. Puig had over 10 goals during the season, and they played a team they were expected to spank. Theres nothing "wild" about this. Heck it early in the playoff anyhow. Hold your horses.
It seems as though my reputation precedes me, I'm surprised😅 I can't quite say I'm honored given the circumstances, but this comment is well deserved all things considered. So, thank you. And, good luck the rest of the way in these playoffs. My only wish is that we can beat you at least once next year😉 Peace out✌
For the life of me I don't understand how that Colorado backline got them into the playoffs in the first place. I'm pretty sure the people working in the concession stands could have fielded a better back 4.
Heartbroken. That's my one word to describe this match. There's always the debate of whether or not the final scoreline indicates how close the match really was, but, I don't think it really matters this time. Similar to the way the regular season finished, where we fell all the way down the table following 4 straight losses, it just doesn't matter. After all, all those losses are the reason we had to play the Galaxy, right? It would have been different if it ended another way, right? Different, maybe so, but the overall outcome of elimination may have very well been the same. We didn't beat these guys all season. Not even once. This series told us that it was not going to happen; 3rd or 7th in the Western Conference, 1st round or 3rd round. I think the reason why we thought we had a chance, is because we always thought that way this year. That's the kind of culture Chris Armas brought back to Commerce City. It's everything we needed...it was magical!! Hope. Each beautiful comeback we made this season. Our run in the Leagues Cup tournament. The way it seemed one penalty after another would find the back of the net. The way Zack Steffen continued to stand out. And winning back the Rocky Mountain Cup. Compared to 2023, for this being just one year, this season felt like a miracle!! I'll cherish it forever. So, that's it. Getting swept in the 1st Round was a fate none of us wanted, but believe you me. We won't give up!! I mean, are you kidding?! The guys on the pitch didn't quit at all over the past 9 months, and neither will we as fans. Thank you to the MLS, for an incredible season, and for each and every highlight video. Alright then, next up is 2025! Yes, that is very strange to say haha. Anyways, thank you again. Until next time, Go Rapids❤💙
What #10 on Colorado does (or doesn't do) at 5:07 is unforgivable. It doesn't matter if you're a defender - you don't just let the guy dribble past you and jog the other way without a care in the world... I'm genuinely shocked that none of this teammates called him out for being so lazy and not helping the team.
It could be the coach has instructed him not to track back all the way down. Giving him the benefit of doubt because he is not a defender. Not all coaches prefer the attacking players to move too much out of position.
@@kidbrown2010 yea but if you’re a player with heart and ball iq u would still defend that and if that was the coach’s instruction why would he be that deep in the first place ? 😂
i have watched 4 highlights now and i am terrified of the level of positional play i am seeing here...absolutely crazy how the defenders oftentimes lack the very basics
Nice win Galaxy! But c’mon Rapids fans! You’re down by a goal with 5-10 minutes left in the match and tons of people are going home. Where’s your faith? As a Real Madrid fan, I know a thing or two about comebacks and it’s never over til it’s over, haha.
I promise it ain’t because we don’t want to stay, but the traffic in the parking lot after big game like this is hell. It took me 3 hours to get out of the parking lot on July 4th when rapids played another big rival
Real Madrid fans left a couple of years ago when they won against City in ET lol. I remember seeing interviews of people outside of the stadium just learning of the comeback. But yeah, I hate leaving before the whistle. Win or lose you stay till the end.
@@siddharthadoppalapudi7217 Except this is literally the same kind of mistake that he's been making for years (heck, it's the kind of thing that caused Manchester City to lose in consecutive FA Cup seasons). Not to mention, he's spent most of the season as the worst rated American keeper MLS (and one of the worst rated keepers in the whole league) and has given up considerably more goals than the metrics state he should have. Case in point, the mistake he made yet again today.
MLS playoffs are intra-conference before the final? Should've been inter-conference. LA Galaxy vs Columbus or LAFC vs FC Cincinnati would be cool. Like The Champions League knockout stage, you know. This MLS playoff system is a joke. Why would you have to again face an intra-conference team you already faced in the regular season?
I’ve proposed this idea you outlined here to friends, that they should face the lower seeded teams of the opposite conference. I think it would make it tougher and more exciting to face different opponents than the usual ones they have most of the year. But the reason for the way it is must be due to the travel. The east coast to west coast travel, and vice versa, is super difficult and takes a toll on the players. Time difference, jet lag, drastically different weather conditions all take a part in why they do it this way and in all American sports. The US is a massive country where the cross country travel is much longer than the travel between countries in Europe. It’s a couple of hours from England to Spain, Germany, Italy. It’s a 5-6 hour flight from LA to New York, Toronto, or Miami.
I'm very, very happy to see fans supporting their team everywhere and watching the futbol grow popular here in the US a few years ago nobody will show to the matches now each game ks almost sold out Hopefully, one day gets to the level of European and South American leagues

1. Relegation will never happen. 2. Other leagues have Relegation and they're a crap. Just look at Liga MX, had relegation and never translated to anything memorable for its national team. 3. Relegation without financial support for the team that reaches the premier league it's just cruel and unusual punishment. 4. The USA is a capitalist society. If your team refuses to invest in its team and facility it will dissappear. Just look at past MLS teams that have folded. So the incentive to perform year after year is that of keeping your team into existence! Therefore that's your defacto relegation.
@@Leo_messia The way all leagues are facing financial difficulties, just look at the dire situation of the Argentinian leagues and most LATAM soccer and European leagues. Probably MLS will be the only solvent league in the future. I wouldn't worry about "skills" if your league can't pay the bills!
@@Leo_messia No. What I said is that the Argentinian league is so broke. You have Mexicans buying Argentinian teams. What I said is that market and money buys skills.

But go ahead and keep clinching into your dreams of relegation. With time it will come true. But not in the way you're expecting!
