This has been a recurring question, and one I wish I had a better answer to. Last I checked, there has still be no official decision made from the club on the full-stadium games. I can't imagine the construction precludes them from, say, 95-percent stadium games if they so desired.

Colorado's four goals were certainly a fluke, given that it hadn't netted a single tally in more than 10 hours of game action beforehand. Its ability to pick up points was less so. The Rapids
have barely been watchable this year, but they've allowed just two goals -- the best mark in MLS -

More support for the forwards. No Sounder but Obafemi Martins and Clint Dempsey has scored yet this season, and both Lamar Neagle and Marco Pappa have been spoken frankly about needing to be more productive. Seattle needs more help from its current wingers or add some reinforcements from the outside

Second question from me, and this one is a crazy thought one, but after the Sounders spotted Querétaro and Ronaldinho at the team hotel in Houston a while back, would it ever be possible for the Sounders to snag Ronaldinho in the future? As an attacking midfielder, he could fill the void as Gonzo gets older (even though Ronaldinho is 35 and older than Gonzo). It's a crazy thought, but then again, so was the rumor that we got Dempsey (which turned out to be true).

Well that photo-op was pure coincidence, as Queretaro just happened to be in town at the same time. Ronaldinho has been a pipe dream for the league as a whole for quite some time now, and the longer it goes, the less likely it is to be realized. Barcelona-era-Ronaldinho was one of my personal favorite players growing up, so I'd love to see him in MLS. But those rumors have long since edged into believe-it-when-I-see-it territory

In general, I'm not a fan of situations in which one team does all the leg work to bring a player to MLS only for another to swoop -- see: Jones, Jermaine. It's an unfortunate side effect of the single-entity structure. I prefer van der Vaart as a centrally-based creator, anyway

I will be there in New York myself, actually. I'm very much looking forward to my first Yankee Stadium trip. NYCFC has already begun crashing back to earth after its hot start, which is to be expected. Orlando City looks to be a playoff competitor from start to finish -- especially in this Eastern Conference. That was a dominant performance in Portland last weekend
