Market

Daniel Steres puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Colorado Rapids, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Paxten Aaronson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Colorado Rapids this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Connor Ronan gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Daniel Steres: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Colorado Rapids have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Ahmed Longmire out for 142 days

The medical room confirms 142 days on the sidelines for Ahmed Longmire, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Colorado Rapids sink to position 13

7 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad

Keegan Rosenberry keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Colorado Rapids may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Only the photograph left for Kimani Stewart-Baynes

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Kimani Stewart-Baynes will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colorado Rapids the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Colorado Rapids

Paxten Aaronson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Miguel Navarro keeps on missing

Shots: 10, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Squad

Hamzat Ojediran gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Zack Steffen keeps Colorado Rapids in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 14 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Paxten Aaronson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Colorado Rapids this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Alexis Manyoma in the eights

A performance of 9.25 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Paxten Aaronson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Alexis Manyoma sends Colorado Rapids past LA Galaxy

It finished 2‑0, and it was Alexis Manyoma’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Colorado Rapids.

Player ratings

Rob Holding shuts the door

Defensive actions: 20, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Match

Colorado Rapids tear Houston Dynamo apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Houston Dynamo, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Rob Holding shuts the door

Defensive actions: 30, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market

Rafael Navarro moves on

Everton pay $10.5M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Loïc Williams

Defensive actions: 28. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Squad

Paxten Aaronson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Paxten Aaronson and Colorado Rapids agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Colorado Rapids

Paxten Aaronson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Paxten Aaronson in the eights

A performance of 8.67 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

No hiding place for Hamzat Ojediran

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Hamzat Ojediran, and the manager let it.

Market

36 months and counting on Rob Holding

Still no offer on the table, and Rob Holding’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
