The other night I woke up in a startle. It was something that had never happened before. I had my first dream about FC Dallas. I actually never remember my dreams, but this was so vivid, so clear that it felt so real. Waking up and realizing the events hadn’t happened yet was a huge let down.
Here’s the situation. It was playoff time, the Western Conference Finals. FC Dallas were one game away from advancing to the MLS Cup Finals for the second time in franchise history. The opponent? The inventors of soccer, tifos, supporter’s groups and bacon wrapped shrimp, the Seattle Sounders.
