In a game that could and probably should have been a tad more lopsided, the Bulls controlled the midfield and effectively the game. Ronald Waterreus got the 'Best Start for Keeper' record and the whole RBNY team followed with the 'Best Start for a Team' record. All of this done away from home. So is it time for people to jump on the bandwagon now? This is the cleanest and most consistently exciting soccer I have seen from an MLS team in awhile. Dane Richards makes Marvell Wynne's speed on the right wing obsolete while Hunter Freeman covers the defensive department. Altidore had a couple chances but receiving balls in the box on the ground was an ordeal for the young'un. Reyna did what he does best, control the game, outshining Juan Carlos Toja in the midfield. All in all, Arena seems to have the pieces but can he keep them all together in health and mind? FC Dallas was also plagued by 'too many games' syndrome it seems, McCarty and Nunez (who had a couple good runs) looked tired mentally and physically. Kenny Cooper showed his big man skills while Ruiz never really got started. Hislop yet again looked questionable in goal but made some good acrobatic saves (the funny thing is, most of them were after the whistle had blown)
Because I Think...'s MVP: Hunter Freeman, a good game at right back but also has made Arena look brilliant in his dispatching of Marvell Wynne. Kind of makes me wonder why Colorado gave him up in the first place. He could share this honor with Carlos Mendes who played solidly breaking up FC Dallas attacks with simple toe-tackles and a presence in the box.
RBNY: H. Freeman (1)FCD: NONE
