The Colorado Rapids are back in the win column, and we’re breaking it all down! Zack Steffen and Đorđe Mihailović led the charge, but who else has stood out six games into the MLS season? Plus, after a tough Champions Cup elimination, we evaluate the Rapids’ early-season performance.

Late-game heroics have been the theme—three of the last four goals have come after the 70th minute. Why are the Pids only scoring late? Do we have a *Kevin* problem, and could Omir Fernandez be the solution?

It’s time for some *Star Spangled Banter*! We check the USMNT panic meter and ask: Are the old heads right in their criticism of the national team?

Plus, NWSL updates, predictions, and picks. Like, comment, and subscribe for more Colorado Rapids talk, and follow us for exclusive content! #Rapids96 #MLS #USMNT
