A few people have noticed that it's MLS' first Rivalry Week of 2016, and thanks to a scheduling quirk, the New England Revolution host FC Dallas this week, instead of say the Chicago Fire last week.

Maybe we could've flipped those two fixtures? I mean, I'm aware that the Revolution once traded away Oscar Pareja for a bag of soccer balls back in 1999, but we don't speak of the pre-Nicol years much. I could bring up that wonderful 2007 US Open Cup final and Wells Thompson's winner but I don't think Dallas harbors much ill will towards New England because of that.
