Inbox: Denver Summit loan goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin to newly promoted Crystal Palace for the 2026-27 WSL season. She hasn’t been able to beat out Abby Smith. Hopefully she gets minutes and is in form for France at the World Cup. Her Summit contract is through 2027.
SCOOP: Larry Berg will be the next MLS commissioner. More coming at @sportico.bsky.social via me and Scott Soshnick 👇
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.
NWSL@nwslsoccer.com · 3d agoCasey Murphy sets up Sammy Smith for just the fourth-ever goalkeeper assist in NWSL history 😱
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/k...
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/l...
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.

Hull City and Colorado Rapids reach £17m Lucas Herrington transfer agreement in principle
Sources briefed on discussions have indicated that no deal has been agreed between the clubs but negotiations remain ongoing.

Lucas Herrington spoke to the media but did not entertain questions surrounding the transfer rumors.
Burgundy Wave@burgundywave.bsky.social · 4d agoThe 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.bsky.social @soccerreporters.bsky.social
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/r...
Matt Wells on the Lucas Herrington to Hull City rumor: "The Lucas stuff's off my radar. Pretty emersed in what was a stressful game. No real update on that."
Rocky Mountain Soccer Journal@rmsoccerjournal.bsky.social · 4d agoGrain of salt, but take as you will: RMSJ is told that a fan asked a Colorado Rapids player after the match if this was Lucas Herrington's last game for the Rapids. The player's answer was yes.

Ironically, one of Lucas Herrington's worst performances with Colorado Rapids. Played at right center back instead of his usual left. Didn't do much on the ball. Some awkward clearances. Team did just enough. Surely had a lot on his mind with the Hull City rumors. #Rapids96
FULLTIME! Colorado Rapids win on a stoppage time penalty for Rafael Navarro! This was a bad soccer game. Both teams were bad. Colorado rescues a point in possibly Lucas Herrington's final appearance! August 15 vs Sporting KC is still must win. #Rapids96
90+3 GOAL COLORADO RAPIDS! RAFAEL NAVARRO! NO STUTTER STEP STUVER GUESSES WRONG MANA FROM HEAVEN 1-0 | #Rapids96
90+1' PENALTY TO COLORADO RAPIDS! Yapi with a shot that rebounds. Rafa Navarro chases the rebound. He's taken down! A lifeline for Colorado Rapids! 0-0 | #Rapids96
88' Recycle off a corner. Rafa Navarro knock down header. Just wide of the post. This game miserably feels like a scoreless draw. 0-0 | #Rapids96
85' Final Rapids subs: Keegan Rosenberry and Alex Harris on. Rosenberry with his 200th regular season appearance for the club. Cannon and Minoungou off. 0-0 | #Rapids96
79' Georgi Minoungou kicks a 30 yard field goal from the top of the box. That sums up the last 10 days for Colorado Rapids. 0-0 | #Rapids96
75' Phillip nearly has his first MLS goal! Direct play ups the middle for Colorado. Minoungou plays him in. Phillip can't time his shot off the bounce. Out for a corner. 0-0 | #Rapids96
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
61' Two more Rapids subs: Darren Yapi and Donavan Phillip on. Second ever MLS appearance for Phillip after the San Diego game. Frederick and Minoungou off. Would guess Phillip in midfield. 0-0 | #Rapids96
