FC Dallas’s lone representative in this year’s Gold Cup is Bryan Acosta. With the Catrachos beginning their tournament a week from Tuesday, there still hasn’t been an indication whether Acosta will be available for FC Dallas when they travel to Carson to take on the suddenly diminished LA Galaxy. Acosta has played all but 14 minutes for FC Dallas this year providing great range, accurate passing to hold possession and bite as a defender at his position that won’t be easily replaced.
That said, there’s at least a little disagreement among the staff whether or not he’ll be missed or his absence will be a net positive.
