It's time to give the local eleven a shot. The Rapids already look like one of Major League Soccer's most-improved sides after a rough 2018 season, and the league itself has never been better. Gone are the days of American nobodies listlessly knocking the ball around with a few aging European stars; now the passing is crisp, the goals are well worked, and teams are full of diverse young talent from all over the world. It might have taken a couple decades, but the Rapids and their MLS rivals are finally playing the Beautiful Game at a level worthy of that nickname.
