Last time the team played in Texas I had started the in game thread and the team won so for good luck sake I am doing it again. Its going to be a hot one. Current temp is 97 and with the humidity its closer to 99 degrees. Subs will be key as there is a short turn around.
According to Neil Sika, we have the same lineup as the last MLS match: [LINEUP-4-4-2]Mendoza, Heinemann, Anor, Gaven, Ekpo, Balchan, Gardner, Marshall, Iro, Miranda, Hesmer[/LINEUP-4-4-2] Glad to see Iro starting again, tRR playing from the bench. As it should be.
Crew starting lineup: Hesmer Miranda Marshall Iro Gardner Gaven Ekpo Balchan Anor Heinemann Mendoza Crew bench: Gruenebaum, O'Rourke (?!?), James, Rusmir, Rogers, Meram, Cunningham I thought O'Rourke was going to stay home. Perhaps that's a misprint from MLS. That's a pretty solid bench tonight!
Dallas starters: Hartman, John, Ihemelu, Loyd, Jackson, Benitez, Alexander, Shea, Chavez, Jacobson, Hernandez Dallas Bench: Seitz, Wiedeman, Guarda, Warshaw, Villar, Luna, Rodriguez
Wow. Bad series there. Poor throw in by Miranda. Great job by Hesmer not allowing a rebound. Burgess commenting on Miranda's "tummy" ....
mendoza really unlucky with that, hartman making a good save. and heinemann missing a sitter from the corner.
