FC Dallas Vs. Real Salt Lake: Game Thread

It's game day here in Frisco. FC Dallas is hosting Real Salt Lake tonight in a big Western Conference match. Both teams will be gunning for three points, especially now that both Portland and Seattle are neck and neck with the two sides in the standings after last night. 

Dallas comes into this game riding a five-game unbeaten run while RSL are unbeaten in their last two league matches. Both clubs last loss came in Portland ironically enough. 

Feel free to use this thread as your in-game discussion tonight!
