cough…cough. What an embarrassing display. Yet again. If FC Dallas wins a game and no one is there to see it, does it still count in the standings? Maybe we should all go to the practices and the games should be closed to the public.

I have to say that I agree that being an MLS fan trumps being an FCD fan on Sunday. That being said, does anyone know any details of the LA injury situation? Looks like half of their team, aka Donovan, is listed as questionable for the game. Also, I was semi shocked to find out that Ruiz may suit up for the match. Why aren’t we more excited for the opportunity to beat our old pal?!

FCD 6 – 5 LAG

The big crowd wakes up Alvarez and Toja.The heat slows Bex.Franchino gets ejected.Everybody’s happy.

Yes, DJ Moose Mbenga McDowell, I am in full agreeance (nod to Fred Durst). This is one of the rare times when being an MLS fan trumps being an FC Dallas fan. I would gladly accept a Hoops loss in exchange for an exciting well played match that entertains the futbol novices sure to be in attendance. But, I fear that this team will come out and cough up another fur ball, as they seem to always do when the spot light is on.

I hate to say it, but I agree with you, The Other Alex. The only reason we even stayed in the game during our last LA match-up was because our goalkeeper stood on his head…and that was a game for charity.

And Jason, is Ruiz playing or not? You say it’s doubtful but then wonder if he’s going to disrupt the attack. If Ruiz is playing, this one is going to be ugly. Hell hath no fury like an ex-FCD player scorned. I’m sure Ruiz wants to rub this one in Morrow’s face.

Ditto what the ‘other alex’ said.

Great analysis unfortunately.

Looking at the expected FCD line-up I see a tight game with L.A. totally in control of the m/f. Toja wide left with his hands full with Beckham, Ricchetti and Saragosa shielding the back “three” which will actually be four as Rocha will have to play right back as Drew Moor will be marking Gordon. Davino, unable to mark anybody will be “free” and once again his uniform won’t need washing. Cooper and Alvarez will be constantly tracking back (Alvarez not so much as he hates defending) leaving Abe up top to forage on his own. So, with 7 defenders,Sala and a two man m/f of Kenny/Arturo I see L.A. dominating the game and it’ll be a question of how long FCD can hold out.

As much as I hate to say it, I would take that score over 0-0, as a high scoring affair would help PHP a lot more than a big goose-egg on the scoreboard. It looks like the game will definitely sell out. If I were management I’d make all seats for the next 2 games $10 – for the remainder of the night. I’m sure you’d sell at least 1000 tickets that way.

LA will score but they will likely give up a few chances as well. I say 2-1 probably LA since we don’t seem to have an attck anymore.

I’m expecting another 0-0 draw out of this one. I hope I’m wrong.
