Lucas Herrington is the lowest paid of the 44 MLS players at the World Cup.

Rapids to the @Socceroos 🇦🇺

Lucas Herrington has been called up to represent Australia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup 👏

[Tim Hotze @sing_electric]

As part of the write up, I re-ran Paul Harvey's pre-season analysis of who had it harder after the break with current data — Fire third-hardest schedule adjustment post-World Cup.

Full description about this in the 5 Things

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Umm… I know somewhere this could’ve been put to good use

[Tug Gingrich @TugGGSN]

These are the parts of demolition i don't understand. You're telling me that a gigantic high def video screen that isn't all that old is just worthless? Can't be used anywhere? No one wants it?

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

@FisherTyler__ @MatthewMangam @nysoccerjournal It was used in the COL vs SJ game tonight so definitely available

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Miguel Navarro CDM? Or Rosenberry RM? Frederick and Ronan are ready for minutes all of a sudden? Why travel with Cannon instead of Charlie Harper or something. Lots of questions…

@FGsuperpenguin @Burgundywave Not as bad an Ian Murphy

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

@JDSportsfan85 @BraidonNourse @boxstatefooty Who besides Steffen isn’t?

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

On paper, the Rapids should’ve won 3-4 of the 6 they’ve lost. Two things are true, 1) games aren’t played on paper, 2) Matt Wells is clearly actually an effective coach and none of this is really his fault.

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

HOW IS THAT NOT REVIEWED

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Lucas Herrington with his first true error as a Rapid. Took 1016 minutes which is impressive for an 18 year old.

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

@Dlmtheman @footy5280 Absolutely no one is asking this besides you

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

@annanamshirin I don’t think you understand how VAR works. If they don’t have a clear and obvious angle, they don’t review it, and the call on the field stands.

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

This was only 18 months ago 😢

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Some #USMNT fans will say no because he plays in MLS but Zack Steffen is having the best month of his career while all the European based GKs struggle for mins or have poor performances one after another…

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Nico Hansen is a very capable MLS goalkeeper who I would be happy to have start for the Rapids for the next 6+ years.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

An immense ball from Andrés Cubas, but Zack Steffen’s incredibly poor 2026 continues as the Rapids trail Vancouver 2–1 at halftime.

Some shocking moments from him this season on a Colorado team that is otherwise quite impressive.

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Lucas Herrington is outstanding. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

[Inside Rapids @insiderapids]

Among many other spectacular things he has accomplished in his first 4 months, Matt Wells has somehow turned Wayne Frederick into a written in pen starter from an extreme liability.

2025: 8 fouls, 3 YC/1RC 200 mins
2026: 5 fouls, 0 cards, 417 mins
