Rapids Shopping Gomez

2008-11-20T20:52:00+00:00

Completely unsurprising news out of Steven Goff.

No surprise: Colorado is trying to move Christian Gomez and dump his 2009 guaranteed contract of around $400,000. Gomez barely played the final few months of the season under then-interim coach Gary Smith, who clearly doesn't think much of the 2006 MVP.

Needing a win to keep pace with their closest Western Conference rivals, Chivas USA got strikes from a player returning from injury and a new acquisition in the first half and then held on for a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.

2008-09-26T19:12:00+00:00

The Colorado Rapids, unbeaten in the past three games, are now headed to New York for a tough game on the turf against the Red Bulls. Much has been made of the consistency of the team in those recent games. Unfortunately, injuries mean there will have to be some changes in tomorrow night's line-up.

Taking on Toronto

2008-09-20T01:38:00+00:00

Sorry for getting this out a little later today, went to the Kevin Hartman book signing in Lee's Summit tonight. Had a good time there. Anyways, the Wizards are back home at Community America Ballpark to take on the Canadians, Toronto FC. The Wizards come in off the 2-0 win over LA, while Toronto comes in off of a home draw with top of the table Columbus.

Rapids 1stXI Beat Dallas Reserves

2008-09-17T19:32:00+00:00

Well, it could have been a first eleven. With a defense featuring Bouna, Ihemelu, Burciaga and Erpen and a midfield consisting of DiRaimondo, Peterson, Christian Gomez and Dalby, the Colorado Rapids fielded a very strong reserve team today in a straightforward 3-0 victory over visiting Dallas.

Bouna On The Move? Fire In Town

2008-09-13T21:57:00+00:00

Nick at We Want Rapid Man takes a look at Bouna's situation. The Denver Post also covers it here. It looks to be headed down the same path that lead Herculez Gomez to Kansas City. Will things turn around? Will we see Bouna in nets for the Rapids again? Or could we see him traded to a team looking for a goalkeeper?

Moments of inspiration courtesy of Mario Gomez aka "Super Mario"

2008-09-06T17:29:00+00:00

For those of you who aren't as familiar with Mario Gomez here are some moments of inspiration courtesy of the man known as "Super Mario".

Mario Gomez stays at Stuttgart

2008-09-06T17:08:00+00:00

Apparently, Robinho wasn't the only big name player that Manchester City tried to recruit on the deadline day of the transfer window as ESPN reports in this article that they placed a big for Mario Gomez as well. I wonder if they also tried to recruit Pele and Franz Beckenbauer out of retirement....

Anyway, it seems that "Super Mario" wants to move on to a bigger club after the success that he has had in recent years with all of the goals that he has scored in the Bundesliga.

TRANSFER: Abe Thompson from FC Dallas to Kansas City Wizards

2008-09-05T16:28:00+00:00

FC Dallas parted with Abe Thompson for some allocation money. With recently acquired Herculez Gomez from Colorado, it looks like the Wizards are trying to bolster an attack that has been weak and still try to make it into the playoffs. Courtesy of:-the Patrician

KC Trades For Thompson

2008-09-05T15:15:36+00:00

Looks like the Kansas City Wizards are trying to make a serious push towards the playoffs. This morning they have traded for Abe Thompson from FC Dallas in exchange for an undisclosed amount of allocation money. This marks the second striker that the Wizards have traded for this week (the other being Herculez Gomez from Colorado).

Gomez Introduced

2008-09-05T00:53:00+00:00

At the Wizards press conference today, the Wizards officially introduced Herculez Gomez to the Wizards media. Thad from The Back Post was there and got the picture below. As you can see, Gomez will be wearing number 21.

One team is in desperate need of some offensive help while the other team might just be raising the white flag.

That's one way to look at the Colorado Rapids trading of forward Herculez Gomez to Kansas City for allocation money and draft picks (4th rounder and 1st round supplemental in '09).

New Boy Gomez Looks Famous

2008-09-03T20:55:00+00:00

Not only does newly acquired forward Herculez Gomez have some pretty good soccer credentials, his looks give him a little street cred. Check out these two pics below and tell me that's not the same guy. Well, it's actually not. First up is Hollywood star John Leguzamo. Next is our newest attacker, Herculez.

Where Are All The Good Guys Going?

2008-09-03T20:50:00+00:00

Kansas City in this case. The Colorado Rapids today traded Herculez Gomez to the Kansas City Wizards. I am personally gutted because Herc was always approachable and a damn fine footballer to boot. More details to follow.

Manchester City are not after Dimi, Berbatov could stay at Tottenham or go to Manchester United

2008-09-01T14:18:05+00:00

Manchester City's last-second shopping list: Berbatov, Gomez, Villa, Ashton, Podolski...did I miss anyone? This is stark. raving. mad. A club up the creek without a paddle where finances are concerned, the owner sells the club on the weekend and with less than 10 hours to go to the transfer window, the board are off looking to [.

Pablo Likely to Stay a Rapid Until New Year

2008-08-28T22:00:00+00:00

So, I did manage to get up to training today but I am probably not able to add too many insights into who will start tomorrow for the Colorado Rapids against RSL. That was because I got involved in a good conversation with club captain, Pablo Mastroeni. By the time we finished talking, the boys were off in the bus to take them to the airport for tomorrow night's game.

Conrad up for Goal of the Week

2008-08-25T20:10:00+00:00

Captain Kansas City now has five goals on the year. Not bad. His latest effort, our last-minute equalizer Saturday against FC Dallas has been nominated for Sierra Mist Goal of the Week. Come on Wizards fans...go vote and get Jimmy on the end-of-the-year ballot!

Take a look at the goal here, if you don't remember it:

He is now our leading scorer with a new career-high.

Rapids' Relief as Team Finally Tastes Victory

2008-08-18T02:25:00+00:00

Acting head coach Gary Smith punched the air as the referee blew for the 90 minutes. It sure was mighty relief for the Colorado Rapids organization and their fans that the team finally managed to score some goals and eke out a win against a frequently dangerous Kansas City side.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go

2008-08-16T23:20:00+00:00

This indecisions bugging me
If you dont want me, set me free
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Should I stay or should I go now?

Aaaahhh the good ole Clash, you've gotta love them and never were more those words more appropriate then when looking at the many indecision regarding so many players across Europe.

Head for the Rockies

2008-08-15T19:48:00+00:00

The Wizards head west down I-70 to Denver to take on the Colorado Rapids tomorrow night. The Wizards come in after holding off Chivas USA 3-2 at home last Saturday, while Colorado comes in having lost 1-0 at home against Toronto FC. Colorado's fans' spirits are low with the way that the team has been planning and that Coach Clavijo is still in charge of the team after their poor performance of late.

Fernando Clavijo's coaching peers

2008-08-14T09:52:00+00:00

Goff reported that he was given the vote of confidence for the rest of the season yesterday, though now it's edited to quote a Rapids official saying that actually didn't happen. I'm not surprised that there's no move to fire him. If they didn't do it after last year, why do it now? His contract is up after this season, and hopefully then the Rapids will make a better decision.

INCOMING: Gabriel Badilla to New England?

2008-08-11T15:35:00+00:00

The rich get richer. That's they way it might appear if this deal comes to fruition. Reports out of Costa Rica and Colombia seem to indicate that the Costa Rica national team defender has played his last game for Deportivo Saprissa and is headed north to join the Revs.

We also received this in our inbox:

Our Revolution blog has uncovered stories in the Central American press which state that 23 year old Costa Rican defender Gabriel Badilla is close to signing a 2 year deal with MLS.
