Where was our D?

The D was out. No Loyd, no Benitez, our center back was playing right back, our backup right back was playing left back, and our backup center back was clueless.

It appears to have burned out from excessive use this summer.

PREVIEW...

It's ugly, but we need to see it...



Schellas drops some interesting hints regarding officiating.

Why am I not optimistic?


Galaxy and Rapids win, FC Dallas in driver's seat

[CONCACAF CHAMPION LEAGUE] The Los Angeles Galaxy and Colorado Rapids both won, but FC Dallas, which fell to Tauro FC, 5-3, in Panama, may be the best placed to join in the Seattle Sounders in the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals.

TAURO FC-FC DALLAS. FC Dallas got two goals from homegrown player Ruben Luna, but it was an otherwise miserable night in Panama City, where it fell to Tauro FC, 5-3, and had Colombians Jair Benitez and Fabian Castillo sent off for straight red cards.

Still, FC Dallas (7 points) sits into the driver's seat heading into Day 6. It hosts Toronto FC (7 points) and will qualify for the quarterfinals with a win. It will also advance with a tie if Tauro FC (5 points) doesn't win at UNAM (8 points).

I'm going to be arriving to the game pretty close to game time as I'm hanging back at work a bit to let Samantha meet me here and she can ride with me up to PHP to save fuel in her ride.

Dirk Nowitzki has tweeted that he's coming out to the game to watch Brek play.

If by some miracle FC Dallas makes the MLS league final, do we have to go through the CONCACAF tournament again? I'd rather send the orphaned child Oliver.

Yes.

What the hell happened tonight? My lungs are still weak from the cold I had, and so I didn't come out. Was Toronto ten times as motivated? If so, WTF? Can't be Shelles ain't tryin' to jack our brood.

We prolly make CCL if we finish 3rd in the West. Because in all likelyhood LA or Seattle win cup

Rather than a game of two halves, the FC Dallas-Toronto FC group finale turned out to be a game of two mindsets.

FC Dallas, needing only a tie to advance, didn’t come out to win, and didn’t. TFC needed to win, and did.
