The draw for the semifinals and finals were this morning at the US Soccer headquarters in Chicago. In order for FC Dallas to host the final, they will need to beat the Galaxy on the road and then hope for the New England Revolution to beat Chicago on the other side of the bracket.

The semifinal round comes in another tough stretch of games for FC Dallas, but thankfully one that sees them in Frisco. On Thursday, August 4 they play their first Champions League game at home against Real Esteli FC before hosting Sporting Kansas City that next Saturday on August 13.
Should FCD advance to the final it will come likely on September 21. That would come sandwiched between two road games in New York City (Sept. 17) and Salt Lake (Sept 24).
