F*C* Dallas, 2022 Edition


We're messing with Texas tomorrow as the Rapids head to Frisco to face their old friends FC Dallas.  While its been 11 years since our last playoff meeting (see above) we're still undefeated against them in playoff series.  We're also undefeated against Dallas since Michael Barrios switched sides and came north to Commerce City.  Kickoff tomorrow is at 6:30, and you know the TV deal.

Injury Report:

OUT: M Ollie Larraz (broken leg)

Dallas has nobody listed on their injury report, so both teams are rested and at near full strength.


I don't see Fraser making many changes this week.  Lewis had a poor game against FSL so I'm thinking/hoping Max gets a chance to show his stuff.  Otherwise I expect to stick with what's working, but if Robin is trying to balance minutes we could see somebody rested for Vallecilla or Shinyashiki

Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Barrios.  Dallas is improved and earl on has a slightly better defense than u.  Though that is somewhat tilted by the egg we laid in LA opening day.  I think these teams are too even to separate and they split the points.
