This decision day, the Rapids need a result. Not for a playoff spot — that’s already been claimed for the first time since 2021. Not for home-field advantage in the first round — that one was in their grasp but slipped in just five games. The Rapids need a result to prove to themselves that they are who they think they are. When the 2024 MLS season is over, Colorado will not be remembered for the four games in five it lost to slide down the standings.
