FC Dallas looks to end a nine-game slump as they head north for the first time to battle expansion side Minnesota United.
Are we that bad?
Dallas have been poor this winless streak (that’s probably an understatement), but a strong opening to the season should carry us to the playoffs right? Well... FC Dallas currently sit in 8th place in the Western Conference, right above Minnesota at 9th (albeit nine points above them). Is FC Dallas’ 2017 season really comparable to the worse of the two new expansion teams? If the standings don’t tell the whole story and the product that the teams put out on the field means anything, Dallas has a fair claim to be the better team.
