The Breakdown: Philadelphia Union at FC Dallas

It was a dark and stormy night... I've always wanted to start a piece that way. And it was a dark and stormy night, well evening, actually, in Frisco on Saturday. Thankfully, most of the stormy action missed Toyota Stadium, unless you count the storming Dallas offense!!!

Yeah, I made that joke twice. So sue me.

Formation and Tactics

Dallas started the game in a 4-4-2, which was a carryover from the win in New England. But it was for a specific tactical reason, we'll get to it below.
