I Think We've Been Here Before....


In Dallas on a Wednesday night after a blowout game against FSL.  Wait, this seems familiar.  It was three weeks ago that the Rapids had gone to Dallas after getting blown out by FSL on the weekend.  The players refused to play that game to support the protests in Kenosha and the greater movement for racial justice.  Tomorrow night they're back in Dallas but this time they're coming off blowing out FSL on the weekend.  Needless to say the whole tone around the game feels better.  Kickoff tomorrow is at 6:30pm and you know the deal with TV.

Even though this is the middle of our 7 games in just over 3 weeks I think Fraser is going to want to keep things a similar as he can given the success on Saturday.  Lewis for Shinyashiki might be the only change, though I expect liberal subbing in the second half like we saw on Saturday.  Otherwise I think we'll ride the success as long as we can.

Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Kamara.  Dallas has a good defense but a meh offense.  Outside of Saturday our offense is pretty similar to theirs.  We've got tome confidence now, so I think we can score one, but not more than that.  It will be late and probably off of Kei's head.
