It was only about a week ago that the Seattle Sounders were tied for the fewest points in all of MLS. With a win against the Colorado Rapids on Sunday, it’s at least possible that the Sounders could close out the week in a playoff position.
While that would require some results elsewhere to go their way, the bigger picture shows that the Sounders seem to have found their footing after struggling to balance Concacaf Champions League and the MLS regular season through the season’s first two-plus months.
A big part of those struggles was due to heavy rotation in the starting lineup.
