When the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals get’s underway tonight, many of us don’t really know what to expect from the Panamanian opponent. Those of us who have seen or attended CCL matches, have expectations that will likely be met. We can expect lax refereeing (“Getting CONCACAfed”), chippy play, stall tactics, on-the-field dramatics, and all other sorts of things associated with CCL play. But once we clear all the CCL debris, what can we actually expect to see from Arabe Unido?
As Oscar Pareja and FC Dallas prepare for tonight’s home game against Panamanian side Deportivo Arabe Unido (or DAU), Papi and the team will find a “mirror image” staring back at them.
