Scratching the Chalkboard: Mismatched CB Pairing Dooms Dallas
Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY SportsRegardless of who made the team last night, this fixture away in Portland was always going to be a tricky one. Up until last night, Dallas’ record was 1-4-2 at Providence Park, so even if Dallas had their full squad, it still wasn’t a sure thing that FCD would be able to walk out of there with any points.
But with the injury to Walker Zimmerman and Matt Hedges being called to International duty, along with Maynor Figueroa who can slot at CB too also getting called up, Dallas had to make do with Atiba Harris and rookie Walker Hume as the starting pair. Then, of course, the pairing had to deal with Fanendo Adi too which put the team at a huge disadvantage.
