I'm about as impatient as Juan Pablo Angel...

ESPN MLS PRIMETIME THURSDAY...

FC Dallas vs. Red Bull New York
Pizza Hut Park

Home has been good to Dallas at the start of this season and it they look to continue against the Metrobulls. Shaka Hislop would really like to have a good game before he gets booted out of goal again in favor of the Argentine Dario Sala. Can Toja keep the Dallas midfield sound and collected with Nunez providing the offensive spark again? Looking at the MLS preview, the line-ups look borderline identical to each respective team's last match. Also, stumbled across this fast fact: Clint Mathis' red card last week tied an MLS record of 7. Is he really that big of a hot head? Regardless, RBNY will likely go with a 4-5-1 as their midfield is their glue. Look for Dane Richards and Dave Van den Bergh to light up the wings, hopefully connecting a cross with the 17 year old Jozy Altidore's head.
Prediction: RBNY 2, FCD 1...could be even more high-scoring this, but I think you're gonna see RBNY's defense excel a bit and start to jell.
