There’s something about soccer in the Centennial State that feels different: the crisp air at kickoff, the dramatic skies over Commerce City and the passionate supporters who bring warmth and noise no matter the season. The landscape shapes the team, and the team, in turn, represents the soul of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIn this commemorative issue, we exclusively interview and feature Tim Howard, Marcelo Balboa, Carlos Valderrama, Terry Cooke and Zack Steffen, plus many more club legends and key people away from the pitch who have been every bit as vital to the Rapids story over the past 30 years. In these pages, we revisit the most iconic moments in club history, from the early days at Mile High Stadium to the vibrant energy of DICK’S Sporting Goods Park — a stadium that has become a fortress and a second home for generations of fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWe explore the unforgettable highs and the moments of perseverance that have defined the club. At the heart of it all is a celebration of the Rapids' crowning achievement: the 2010 MLS Cup victory. That season, Colorado’s underdog squad defied expectations and captured the league’s top prize in a dramatic extra-time final. The journey to the championship, the locker room chemistry and the leadership of players like Pablo Mastroeni are all remembered here in detail, a testament to belief, resilience and unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBut the Rapids’ story goes far beyond one night of glory. It’s the story of a club that has helped shape American soccer in its modern era — developing talent, building a fiercely loyal fanbase, and becoming a cornerstone of the MLS landscape. It’s the story of players who gave their all, fans who never wavered, and a city that embraced the beautiful game and made it its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eWhether you’ve followed the Rapids from day one, discovered them along the way or are new to their story, this issue is a tribute to everything the club stands for. It’s a look back at 30 years of ambition, challenge and pride. Here’s to the memories, the moments, and the mountains — and to the next 30 years of Colorado soccer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e---\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_spec\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e21 x 27cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFebruary 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e268 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEnglish\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Glory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57900460409213,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/5149\/9341\/files\/2026-03-0509.05.24.jpg?v=1772750453"},{"product_id":"glory-country-edition-mexico","title":"Glory Country Edition: Mexico","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the publisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-field=\"excerpt\" class=\"ProductItem-details-excerpt\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ProductAccordion-a9bc54b3-69df-483b-8561-10c1c4f6caac-template--23480959369525__main\" class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003eMexico moves in colour – in noise, in rhythm, in heat. Streets spill into plazas, conversations at taquerias stretch late into evenings, and football sits right in the middle of it all, on every screen in every bar.

In Mexico City, we soaked up the atmosphere at Club América’s temporary home, Estadio Azulgrana, courtesy of Homefans, with our charismatic local guide. We took in Pachuca v Necaxa at Estadio Hidalgo, and experienced the full-on intensity of El Clásico Tapatío – the Guadalajara derby – as Atlas hosted Chivas.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003eEverything we saw was captured on film by Miles Myerscough-Harris (Expired Film Club), Enrique Medina and Ale Gutiérrez, giving this issue a texture that matches the places themselves. In Mexico City, where the tournament will open for a record third time, the game already feels stitched into the fabric of the city, with the Azteca standing as a colossus at the edge of town.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003eThis issue reflects that. Juan Villoro writes on the national team with the authority of one of Mexico’s defining voices. Cris Freddi revisits 1970, the tournament that changed how football was seen. Marcela Mora y Araujo returns to 1986, a World Cup shaped as much by image as by incident, while we sat down with director Rachel Ramsay to explore the overlooked 1971 tournament – a story that refuses to stay buried. We also had the privilege of talking to living legend Hugo Sánchez to discuss his enduring impact on Mexican football.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003eElsewhere, Jon Arnold guides us through the three host cities preparing for 2026, and we examine how designers created iconic visual languages for each of Mexico’s World Cups so far.
