In just a bit FC Dallas will hit the field up in Pachuca, at almost 8000ft elevation. That fact is why the team has been in Mexico for the last week. Trying to acclimate to the conditions and it should prove helpful in a place where the home team hasn't lost in their last 29 home games. Pachuca is also on a bit of slump of sorts, no wins in their last three. If there's a MLS team prepared and constructed to do this, it's Oscar Pareja's Huntmen. Just a few thoughts before kickoff.
Pareja must not out-think himself: Oscar has an odd history, dating back to his spell at Colorado, to make questionable personal and formation changes in big games.
