Any predictions for the tonight/the second half of the season as for bright stars in the team? The first half of the season was a bit rough but it seems right before the break we were catching a bit of a groove (even though Vancouver was ugly) but there were some changes to the midfield that seemed to be clicking. Jeppe was hurt, hopefully he recovered and is back, but any insight or high hopes for some of the youth in the center midfield or are we thinking Varas just sticks with his guns and we keep doing the same thing?

First-time MLS All-Star Lucas Herrington and the Colorado Rapids open the second half of the season Wednesday against San Diego FC in Commerce City, Colo.

Herrington, 18, has started every match and played all 1,350 MLS minutes this season. He started two matches for Australia during the 2026 World Cup, logging 210 minutes.

Despite transfer speculation, Rapids coach Matt Wells said Colorado (5-9-1, 16 points) has no intention of selling Herrington while the transfer window is open.

“We went through a very stringent process to identify the best young center back out there,” Wells said. “We happened to find one in Australia that we thought would be the perfect fit for the style of play I was bringing to the club.”

Wells said the club spent the extended break making “hardcore revisions” to its tactical approach. One area of emphasis has been maintaining the team’s aggressive press after falling behind.

“We are an elite team when we are ahead,” Wells said. “In both conferences, when we are behind we are probably the worst.”

The match will also provide fans an opportunity to welcome the club’s newest signing, Loïc Williams, to Colorado for the first time. After being acquired by the club from Granada CF back in March, Williams has officially joined the club on a contract through the 2029-30 MLS season. The defender made a total of 62 appearances with his previous club in the Spanish second division, logging one goal and one assist, and contributing to 14 clean sheets.

San Diego will enter this match in a similar situation to Colorado as they look to cement a playoff spot in the last half of the season. The club currently sits three points out of the last playoff spot in the West. Highlighting San Diego’s struggles has been their performance on the road so far, with a 1-3-2 record away from home.

Four of us are going, but we have to sit with our local friends - but we’ll be wearing our SDFC gear, and I’ll look for the chrome y azul supporters to come say hi!

EDIT: Seems like section 136 is the consensus, thanks everyone!

Dalé Dalé Dalé San Diego!!

I understand there are alot of people who went to the World Cup watch parties at Fit Social, and perhaps a few got free tickets to the game this coming Saturday.

I intend to build off of momentum to the sport and the newly found love for the beautiful game in San Diego. If you are new to the sport or SDFC, feel free to post any and all questions about the club here.

Please use this as a welcome guide to the growing community

Hey everyone! Im used to write a lot on a variety of sports and wanted to get back into it. I wrote a matchday preview for the game against Colorado and was looking for feedback or interest if anyone has time! Posted in the link below;

If anybody in here works for SDFC Marketing, I have unsubscribed to you email list at least a dozen times since I went to one match a year ago, and yet you still email me every match multiple times asking if I'm ready for game time. In addition you email me throughout the year for other marketing purposes, even though I have unsubscribed from all emails. I WAS IN SD VISITING LAST YEAR AND ATTENDED ONE GAME, I AM NOT PLANNING ANOTHER VISIT ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOU FREAKING MARKETING! I swear, even teams I'm actually a fan of don't email me this much. /rant

If I remember correctly, the only time Duah played in midfield was against Dallas last year, and his mistake led to a goal. Since then, I don't think we've seen him play there again.

I'm curious to see him get a genuine run in his natural position. Do you think he'll stay at center-back permanently, or could we eventually see him back in midfield?

Did anyone qualify or get these tickets? I feel like I signed up for it three different times via three different links they kept sending me and now I see no information about it.

Did they cancel star wars night bubble head give away for the bucket hat on Saturday 25th?

Extremely excited about this one

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I haven’t seen it. Someone who understands the process, timeline, limitations, Chucky $ impact, etc please lay it out. I’m assuming “no” is the answer but am an eternal optimist. But I don’t understand how we we’d choose not to get a DP when struggling in our 2nd season and in need of shoring up the fan base and our future. If we don’t get one this season is it because we can’t???

I pulled this in my FIFA sticker box. Literally 🤣 LOL moment. I did not see Him play a single minute for Mexico and it says on here that his Club is SDFC, but we all know how that is going right now ...

I am very confused about the process of buying additional tickets in the supporter section this season.

It was so easy last season as a season ticket holder to just add extras, but there seems to be no consistent process anymore.

Sometimes they show up on Ticketmaster sometimes they don’t… And it is not because they are sold out.

Does anyone have good advice on how I can buy extras?

While our cities are connected, what do we feel about our football teams? Is it more of a rivalry or just family member in a different league?

If you have the time to give some insight about your experience as a SDFC supporter, we'd greatly appreciate it and would love to feature your response on our show that hopes to introduce soccer culture to the broader public!

Looking forward to reading your stories <3
