I’ve come up with my own little system for grading games. Take a look if it sounds interesting to you. https://halfspaces.com/play-it-again-sam-dallas-vs-minnesota-mls-8-10-19/
Always nice to see someone add numbers. They don't tell everything but you hit on seomething with the first half second half stuff. Look who had the best second halfs - Pomykal +7 , Ferreira +6, Barrios, Cannon and Servania +5. That's all academy kids except for Barrios.
Yup. I know Pomykal best since I’ve watched him the most, but you could see the extra energy late in the game from several of those guys. Good fitness coach or something there in Dallas.
Could be they grew up here and the weather doesn't bother them as much. Of course Dallas Cup is around Easter and they did the same then when they were younger.
