Colorado Rapids • Seattle Sounders Football Club • American Professional Football League

Three questions: Sounders at Rapids

Max Aquino / Sounder at Heart

The 2020 MLS regular season has been a roller coaster for the Colorado Rapids, having had five straight matches cancelled because of a COVID-19 outbreak. I talked with Abbie from the Burgundy Wave to get a sense of what’s going on ahead of the match with the Seattle Sounders.

Sounder at Heart: So, this is a really weird season for the Rapids. What’s it been like being a fan during this roller coaster?

Burgundy Wave: It’s been a tough season for Rapids fans. We came into 2020 with a lot of hope after Robin Fraser took over last season and they started with a road win and a home win, which was great. Then the MLS is Back Tournament happened and they struggled to get going again, which really shook everyone’s confidence. Getting a big (first) win in Sandy against RSL and bringing home the Rocky Mountain Cup was huge and right as the Rapids were picking up momentum, the COVID-19 outbreak ran through the club. But now, here we are, with a real possibility at the playoffs, so hopefully it will all end well.

The biggest downside is that fans aren’t allowed in the stadium and many fans can’t watch the games due to Altitude’s issues with local cable companies. It’s a very big pain point for fans and has really affected local enthusiasm for the club.

SAH: The Rapids traded away Kei Kamara this season. Who is the most goal dangerous player for Colorado?

BW: While Kei Kamara was a dangerous aerial threat, other guys have stepped up in his place and it hasn’t really been an issue. Cole Bassett was on a hot streak before the COVID-19 outbreak, with three goals and two assists in four games. If Diego Rubio gets in a groove, he can be dangerous. Jonathan Lewis has been getting more time lately and scored two goals in two games before the break. And you can’t count out Andre Shinyashiki, so for once, the Rapids have a few scoring options.

SAH: I was really happy to see Robin Fraser finally get a head coaching gig in MLS. How’s he been doing in Colorado and what are some key takeaways from his first season?

BW: Robin Fraser is generally well-liked by fans and has done a decent job so far. They almost squeaked into the playoffs last year and this year has been so weird that I think it’s difficult to really take much away, to be honest. There have been questions about his game management and usage of subs, as he typically waits until pretty late in the game to sub players in and it doesn’t usually work out well. Other than that, he’s made some smart roster decisions and never wavers in his belief in the players. Assuming things get somewhat back to normal next season, I think that will be a bigger indication of what Fraser and this club are capable of.

Los Angeles Rams • National Rugby League • Sean McVay • Thomas Brown • Head coach • Centre-back

Sean McVay sees endless potential in Rams RBs coach Thomas Brown By now, Sean McVay should be used to losing his coordinators and assistants to promotions around the NFL. He’s seen Matt LaFleur, Zac Taylor and Greg Olson all leave for either coordinator or head coaching jobs, which is a testament to the impact McVay has on his assistants. He should prepare to possibly lose Thomas Brown at some point, too. Brown is currently the Rams’ running backs coach but McVay sees no limit on how high he can ascend in the coaching ranks. McVay left no doubt about Brown’s potential as a coordinator candidate, despite this being his first gig in the NFL. “Yes. I think that there’s no limit for this guy,” he said last week. “I’d be so happy for him if he continues to ascend but sad for the Rams. I think he can do whatever he wants. I think he’s definitely a coordinator. I think he’s got head coach potential, in terms of his leadership and the way he relates to guys. This guy’s a great coach. I don’t t

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic crushed by 'lucky loser' Lorenzo Sonego in Vienna quarters WATCH AND READ Djokovic suffers worst loss of career Novak Djokovic lost for only the third time this year after a listless effort in the Erste Bank Open quarterfinals and walked away happy. The top-ranked Djokovic lost his first meeting with 42nd-ranked Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 6-2, 6-1. It was his heaviest ever defeat in a three-set match. The only other time the Serb had won just three games was at the 2005 Australian Open at the hands of Marat Safin in a best-of-five set encounter. He lacked power in his groundstrokes and produced a string of mistakes. He fell 4-0 behind, and won just five points on Sonego's serve in the opening set. In the second, Djokovic missed all six break points before conceding his service game for a fifth time when Sonego closed out the win with a passing shot. Sonego shocked the world no.1.

  1.   In one of the animated "blooper reels" at the end of  Toy Story 2 , "Stinky Pete" — the villain of the movie, who's voiced by Kelsey Grammer — asks two Barbie dolls if they're "truly identical" and offers them a role in  Toy Story 3 ...but under the implications that he'll get "something" from them in return.
