I just ran into seba in Yorkville. If the team is in Orlando, he isn't with them. Could be just to spend time with his newborn. I mean he has already proven he can get off a plane and walk into a game and score.

When you have a guy like Seba with a winning mentality and ambition to get better it's infectious and motivates the rest of the locker room. The guy is league MVP and he's hungry to outdo himself...never rests on his laurels...how many other players have that kind of drive?
With both orlando and montreal playing 3 games in one week--lots of questions about how we approach the same scheduling. Don't agree that 3 points is 3 points. If we use the same starting lineup 3 games in a row there is a danger that we will have nothing in the tank for the montreal game which is really a 6 point game. Would definately rotate players and limit the time for both seba and altidore and start morgan over morrow who was horrid on saturday. Wouldn't both me if hagglund started over beitashore. I would love to win all three games but if we keep talking about our bench strength lets use it wednesday. After that the games are more predictable and lots of rest in between.
After Montreal, there's a two week international break until the next game. Maybe not as much squad rotation as would normally be for a 3 game in 7 day spell.
Speaking of Colorado, while away on Vacation for the last three weeks I saw the 1-1 LAG-Rapids draw at Stubhub. Howard stood on his head that game and seems to be a large reason for their late season success. How many Eastern Conference teams still have to play them? I don't think that any other eastern conference team will be able to get more than a point off them.

That pass was near perfect. He saw giovinco open before receiving that knock down from Altidore and one timed that volley pass almost on giovinco's foot.
I'm more impressed by his ability to see that pass than the actual pass. Most MLS players would have taken a touch and the opportunity likely lost.
Seeing that it should be balls hot and be played on turf, I'd rest Jozy and anyone else with any minor knocks. Let the young guys run.
yup, I noticed that....great stuff to see....and I've noticed a similar deal with Endoh as well.....
I was on Seba a bit during his slump, because I didn't think he was using his teammates enough to help him break out of it, but man, this guy is totally engaged in the team and city......absolutely fantastic and speaks loads about his character.....management hit it right out of the park with this guy.....as fans of this team we just gotta enjoy every game that he is with us....
With some DP's its an attitude of "this is my standard and as long as I look good its ok".....
With Giovinco I see it as "this is my standard, and I want you guys to do whatever you need to meet it"

I loved the way Giovinco ran over to Delgado and thanked him and I equally loved the smile on Delgado's face after he did that. It may seem trivial but little moments like that will do wonders for the confidence of the young guys and I return give Giovinco more confidence in his team mates. Great to see all around.
Holy guacamole...we're not messing around for this game if this is true:
I'm more concerned about midfield wilt in this game.
Wheeler suggested they might go with a 3-5-2/5-3-2 to deal with Larin. I could live with that. Midfield 3 of Johnson Osorio and Bradley. Bring on Delgado for Johnson later in the game.
What is Morrow's yellow card situation? I might sit him for Morgan so he could definitely play vs Montreal, if he is out with 1 more yellow.
Morrow is ok, Bradley though is on the brink

I would be surprised to see Vanney go for all 3 in this game. He has already stated that he wants to come home in 1st. I think Bono will have a lights out game. He has something to prove with Orlando after the way his first game went. It would be somewhat of a redemption game if he can hold a clean sheet.
