    Notes:
    IT'S A LAMAR HUNT PIONEER CUP BONANZA!

    In a tale of turning fortunes, Columbus has been on a rebound while trouble brews in Dallas. Following a wild (and discouraging) 3-3 draw in Texas, will the men of Frisco be up for a quick turnaround in Columbus? I, my dear foolish mortals, certainly hope not.

    As always, we need wins to keep the dream alive.

    Discuss.

    I'm feeling surprisingly positive about this. Dallas has been a bit of a mess recently. They have to travel after a midweek game vs Houston. Higuain only played 60 minutes Wednesday, Pedro about 70. Artur still seems to be out, which may be an issue. I do think Raitaila is a significant downgrade from an in form Francis as well. Crap, I may be talking myself out of my positive feelings.

    I didn't watch the Dallas vs Houston game, but I feel like the Crew is just in a better place right now. Win by 3. Keep the pressure on Atlanta and Montreal.

    Look, anyone with even a slight appreciation for Crew history can look at the schedule and see where the banana peel is that will derail the Crew's season. I mean we can beat a decent Dallas team and decent KC team at home. Maybe pick up a point on the road at Vancouver.

    It's when we feel most confident, most assured that we are gonna make the playoffs, that we will suffer a catastrophic loss to an extremely poor DC United at home. The Crew won't emotionally recover and drop their last two games on the road.

    Let us all enjoy the good times while they last. Love your brothers and sisters. #SunshineBrigade

    Other pertinent info

    Columbus Crew SC Home 9-3-1
    FC Dallas Away 3-4-4

    Dallas is a decent away team losing only 4/11, but Columbus is a fairly strong team at home. Add in travel and current form, Crew should win this one.

    Are we forgetting this is rivalry week? Goals count double and the Garber point coefficient is in play making this a real 4.5764 pointer.

    The Higuain - Santos interplay was a joy to watch. I haven't seen that since 2012 when Mirosevic and Higuain played a few games together. If both start again, this should be nice to watch.
    Goal for Ola and Santos. Assist for Higauin. I'm going way out on the limb there...

    Is Afful available? Jimenez combined well with Santos but Dallas has a lot of speed wide. I'd prefer Afful, especially with Francis out on the other side. I could also see Abubakar in for Williams or Manneh starting for Meram for fresher legs.

    I didn't get to watch much of the last gm. Is Manneh 100% ?
