MLS watchability rankings: which teams are the best (and worst) to watch?

23) Colorado Rapids

Somebody had to be last. Apologies, Rapids fans, but English Championship retreads playing in an ultra-defensive 5-4-1 formation don’t exactly create can’t-miss soccer. With offensive tactics that loosely translate to “give something for Dominique Badji to run onto and hope he can win a corner,” there isn’t much to see from Colorado.

Their games can be scrappy too. The Rapids have picked up 56 yellow cards this season, far and away the most in the league. Second placed Orlando City have 41. They commit the most fouls per game (15.4), and hold the least amount of possession in the league (43.4%).
