The biggest talking spot going into the match, this week, was how FC Dallas was going to handle missing seven players, including three on the back line. Looking back, it really didn’t have any affect on the match. No disrespect to DC United, but with their lack of attacking bite, there probably wasn’t a better matchup for FC Dallas this week than United. DC had a couple of opportunities to score and put some pressure on Dallas but just couldn’t convert, including a makeup penalty call. As we start to get a more full picture of what FC Dallas is doing on the field, the Houston match is becoming more of an outlier than anything.
