Brendan Ploen That run!!! Add the later goal and I couldn’t be any happier for Mal. She is SO back.

Swanson is the FIFTH Coloradan to score this weekend, joining Tess Boade, Sophia Smith, Janine Beckie & Ally Schlegel.

Lauren Milliet & Jaelin Howell had assists. Tell me why Denver shouldn’t be the next #NWSL expansion city?
Insane #ColoradoSoccer talent

When they say run #withthestars , they mean like this:

Talk about a Colorado Connection — Swanson (Highlands Ranch) to Schlegel (Parker)! #ColoradoSoccer

Chicago Red Stars 11 vs Seattle:
Alyssa Naeher (GK & C), Taylor Malham, Sam Staab, Natalia Kuikka, Tatumn Milazzo, Julia Bianchi, Cari Roccaro, Penelope Hocking, Mallory Swanson, Jenna Bike & Ally Schlegel #WithTheStars #HereForTheCrown

Do we think Djordje has seen the Doyle tweet from last weekend? Methinks yes. 😂 #Rapids96

Colorado Rapids 2-1 FC Dallas talking points:
- Harris, Cabral, and Bassett in the attack
- A run of form like nothing seen in 2023
- Bombito and the defense
- Still room for improvement when defending a lead

The #Rapids96 made the 'A block' in MLS Wrap-Up. The Miami-Nashville game led the show & then it was the derby between SKC-STL. 'Pids-FCD (with a long conversation about the Armas Effect) followed.

Wild times in Commerce City.

Bring Trevor home. Colorado needs a bonafide striker if Rafa’s loan expires. He’s it.

Matchday 9: Colorado Rapids 2, FC Dallas 1.

When THE RAPIDS go on an unbeaten streak winning three of the last four & surprise some national analysts in the process:

CO will look to extend their unbeaten streak to four.

It's Brendan Ploen on socials tonight. I'll be keeping y'all posted throughout the match. Join us!

.Burgundy Wave programming note:

Brendan Ploen will be running social tonight. I'll be volunteering for Sustainability Night in the first half, in the press box for second half. Normal postgame coverage. Come to Section 105 to say hi and talk about protecting the environment.

The misogyny of what happened at Caitlin Clark’s press conference is bad. Really bad. But also — The number one rule of being in sports media is that athletes are not your friends. They’re not. They’re there to do a job, you’re there to do a job, you coexist as professionals.
