I wish for a damn raincloud. It's fuckin hot! Anyways. FC Dallas is firing on no cylinders, we have a weak defense, So I'm going to say 3-2 for the G's, Gordo with 1 and Lando with 2
Fuimos. Bebimos. Chingamos.

Of coarse I back Cronin in every game. And there is still time for him to turn it around. Im just speaking of the present moment and so far, I just haven't been impressed yet. And yes our D needs major improvement as well.

Sometimes the choice of a goalkeeper comes down to whether the team wins with him minding the nets. On one of my club teams we had a keeper who was trained by Dave Vanoli, ODP, National Pool, etc. He had terrific technical skill, size (for U16) and athleticism. We had a short but rather explosive guy as a back up. He was always taking chances and seemed caught out of position a lot. He had poor footwork, sketchy distribution and he made some easy saves look very hard. When he played the team won, it was a simple as that. The other keeper went to a better team and played very well. We played them once in pool play in a tournament and tied them. Wondering what the minutes to goals against is for Wicks versus Cronin including all preseason games.

I have NO prediction for this game other than the fact it'll be one of Dallas' highest attended this season.

I DO, however expect to really turn up Telefutura's Spanish PBP as loud as possible to make sure the guys watching basketball in the adjoining apartment go bugfuck.

Good points. Im not convinced on Wicks either. Thats why I picked Joe F. has my new imaginary GK (based on that save he had during the friendly) . But, for real its a tough position. Its the last line of defense which if someone gets close often means that the D didnt step it up enough. But, as a fan of the GK position, I expect a lot.

Donovan sets up Franklin with some magic footwork, but too much passing/drifting, gets cleared.

I said it once and I'll say it again, 3-3. 85F with 20 mph winds (or metric 29C and winds at 32 Km/h). Hopefully the G's can have a fluke goal thanks to the wind and pull away with it. Flash Gordon will have 2. Landon will have another uncomfortable day as it once again appears he reverted to the OLB LD (Our Little Bitch)
