Atlanta United travels to the Lone Star State to take on FC Dallas for a special Fourth of July fixture. For those who aren’t aware, it gets pretty darn hot in Texas during this time of year.
Frisco, the host city of FC Dallas, registered a high of 100 degrees at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Although it won’t reach that hellish temperature on Wednesday, it’s still expected to hover around a toasty 89 degrees at the time of kickoff. Tata Martino told reporters on Tuesday that he thinks this gives Dallas a bit of an advantage at home considering they’re more used to playing matches and training in that kind of weather.
