Technically it’s been five months since FC Dallas took the field, but honestly it’s felt more like 10 since I have almost no recollection that the 2020 regular season had already started. Either way, there’s some soccer to be played and apparently Dallas added a new striker during the Rona?
Nothing about this is normal, but let’s try to resemble as much of that as possible as the MLS regular season is restarting with Dallas doing a few back to backs against Nashville.
The staff are continuing to make picks this season and we’re going with a simple points system for 2020:

Here are our staff predictions against NSH:
FCD vs SEA
| Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Result for FCD | FCD Score | Opposition Score | Commentary |
| Ben Lyon | Win | 2 | 1 | The smug comments from Sounders fans this week... |
| Jack Rous | Win | 2 | 0 | How do they do it? Ricardo Pepi |
| Jason Poon | Loss | 0 | 2 | It's been fun but I'm not seeing a way out of Seattle with a win. |
| Jeff Loftin | Loss | 1 | 2 | Close loss after controversial play at the other end which mysteriously doesn't get VAR treatment. |
| Mohammad Bushnaq | Loss | 1 | 2 | Valiant effort but Dallas falls short in the Pacific NW for their revenge bid. |
| Nathan Hill | Draw | 2 | 2 | FC Dallas advance on PKs and claim the Cascadia Cup. Goals from Jara and Pepi. |
| Ryan Scanlon | Loss | 1 | 3 | Seattle’s quality and combination play will be too much for FC Dallas which will not let us get away with what we pulled off against Portland. Michael Barrios gives us a glimmer of hope with a goal before Jordan Morris and Nick Lodeiro put this out of reach. |
What do y’all think? Is Dallas ready or will 5 months off produce some sloppy and uninspired soccer?
