Well, it was ugly. FC Dallas went on the road and lost to Real Salt Lake last week. As the coaches say, on to next week.
This week, Dallas play host to Chicago Fire in the “highly anticipated” Brimstone Cup. Dallas comes in having lost last week but still lead the West with 35 points, one point more than Los Angeles FC. Chicago come in on weary legs, having played Philadelphia on Wednesday night. That game was a lot of fun with the final score being 4-3 in favor of Philly. Chicago has now lost two in a row and come in at eighth in the East, one point behind Philadelphia and Montreal who are tied for the sixth spot.
