FC Dallas left San Jose with their 22nd point of the season, good enough for fifth place in the Western Conference. Dallas made due without Pablo Aranguiz, Santiago Mosquera, Bryan Acosta, Carlos Gruezo, Paxton Pomykal, or Edwin Cerrillo so a road point against a team that FCD have struggled against in recent memory is as welcome as the goal keeper kicking the ball into his own net.
This week I want to give some brief thoughts on the game against the San Jose Earthquakes, through a slightly reflective lens (per the usual) and then jump into some thoughts on our staff predictions from earlier this season (I know I’m a week early from the half-way point of the season, I just couldn’t help myself).
