@Talent_Valencia He’s been good! Scored in his debut. Good on the ball. Covers ground really well. He’s made a good first impression with the fans and his teammates.

@BurgundyWave How is Loïc doing?

65' Loïc Williams with a defensive play to stop a counter. Throw in Austin. Williams raises his arms and the south stand comes alive. 0-0 | #Rapids96

BREAKING NEWS: Larry Berg will be the next MLS commissioner, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. Berg is a co-owner of LAFC. He will need to sell that stake as part of the transition to becoming MLS’ third commissioner.

For those wondering Palmer Ault was drafted by Colorado in the 2024 SuperDraft. Rapids had his rights through the end of 2025. So he became a free agent January 1, 2026.

Janine Sonis pulls Denver level from the penalty spot 🎯

Fulltime. 1-1. Good on Denver Summit to comeback after conceding in the first half. Disappointing result given the run of play. Summit and Rapids in a similar state right now. #TogetherWeClimb

72’ GOAL DENVER SUMMIT! Substitute Tash Flint wins a penalty and it’s Janine Sonis scoring another PK! 1-1! #TogetherWeClimb

0-1 at halftime. Goal was initially called offside. VAR gave it. Right call. Disappointing for Summit. Kössler and others with a bunch of chances and they concede first.

Denver Summit FC fans in 111 and 112 sing happy birthday to Tash Flint, who’s celebrating her 30th today.

Melissa Kössler is back in the lineup for Denver Summit. Makes sense after Thomas’ struggles the last two games. No other lineup surprises. Summit in their secondary kits tonight.

Denver Summit Talking Points: A three game week, all at home, starts tonight vs fellow expansion team Boston Legacy. burgundywave.com/2026/08/02/key…

NWSL Matchday 16/30 Denver Summit vs Boston Legacy Centennial Stadium 7 pm MT ESPN Summit are back at home. Need a result against fellow expansion team Boston. Especially after last week and fumbling the bag at Boston.

Lucas Herrington to Hull City seems immanent and inevitable. Here's what the financial windfall mean for Colorado Rapids and why the price makes sense for Hull now and longterm: burgundywave.com/2026/08/01/luc…

Lucas Herrington to Hull City closer to done. For less than some of the other numbers suggested. $17 mill up front is still about double the club's record transfer fee. The 15% sell-on clause could be huge in the long run. Best for all parties.

🇦🇺💣 BREAKING: Hull City has reached a verbal agreement to sign Australia int'l defender Lucas Herrington for a deal worth up to $23m, per sources. - $17m (!) fixed fee - $6m add-ons - 15% sell-on clause of any profit - Deal not done, but just formalities nytimes.com/athletic/74846…

Updated with quotes. Lucas Herrington spoke in mixed zone.

Lucas Herrington was made available but he did not address the transfer rumors.

Herrington was made available in the end but did not comment on the transfer rumors.

The credentialed Rapids press requested Lucas Herrington for mixed zone. We were originally told he would be available. We have now been told he will not. We asked why. "Lucas won't be doing media tonight." So about locker room access ... @LaurelPfahler @SoccerReporters

Rafael Navarro on his approach to penalties (through a translator): "I've learned a lot form Marc Burch, about run ups. We're practicing that a lot in training. It's coming off in games."

Colorado Rapids beat Austin FC on a late Rafa Navarro penalty. It was an unconvincing but needed win. It could have been Lucas Herrington's final match for the Pids: burgundywave.com/2026/08/01/raf…

WHO ELSE BUT NAVAGOL?! From the spot to secure three points 😤🇧🇷✅
