Colorado Rapids

All About the Colorado Rapids

Today seeme dlike a good day to talk a bit about one club, the Colorado Rapids. As you probably know, they play in Major League Soccer. Like most sports teams in America, they have a mascot, Rapids Man. And now Rapids Man has his own web site and blog. He very well may be the only mascot in the league with one.

He's got an interview with the best goalkeeper in the league, Joe Cannon :

Fabrice Nöel

On a more serious note, George Tanner has a nice article on Fabrice Nöel at his blog. For those who don't know who Fabrice is, he's one of the most promising players to come of Haiti. He joined the Colorado Rapids in the middle of 2005. He's a young man with a lot of responsibility on his shoulders as his parents and remaining living siblings have yet to be allowed into the US. I say remaining siblings because 2 of his brothers were murdered because he wouldn't transfer to a different club in Haiti. Even if you're not a Rapids fan or soccer fan, it's hard not to cheer for Fabrice Nöel.
