The 2010 MLS Cup Final was an All-Western Conference affair and now the teams that squared off in that memorable final meet again for the first time.
Colorado rolls into tonight's showdown (9pm, Fox Soccer Channel) with FC Dallas undefeated, while Dallas enters still searching for its first win of the season after suffering a pair of losses that included red cards.
The Rapids will be without injured forward Conor Casey, but Irish striker Caleb Folan will look to build on his strong start. Dallas will need to tighten things up defensively, while trying to get David Ferreira going.

Enjoy the action.
EVERYONE had a good game, only fcd’s forwards were quiet. Great show. Preseason is over in big d
One thing I can not stand in soccer is pacifiers and thumb sucking. David Ferreira needs slapped.
loyd had a very good game too. his only knock is not being able to deflect a cross the the forward couldn’t handle.
Thats the Dallas i know! amazingly they’re even faster than last year!(thx Castillo/Jacobson) Good soccer all over the field!
BTW George John is absolute CLASS at the CB position. Its getting to the point where you literally have to try NOT to bear witness to that.(or have an old tv/shtty stream)lol. For the good of the land I hope Hyndman will be gracious to Bradley though i probably wouldn’t be
You sure you don’t want to go with the “fluke” reading so many are convinced of? After all, this was one match and all…
I said a few days ago that the rapids should have been off to a record start when they started off against an expansion team and the two bottom teams from last season. Put them against a team that wasn’t a bottom dweller and see what happens I almost feel sorry for them next week.
ROFL
This isn’t the NFL. Removing your jersey is the rule violation, not the fact that a jersey is a prop. Of course, I don’t actually know the official policy on props like that, but maybe it would have been a yellow if he had it handed to him from the crowd like Neymar and his mask incident.
That’s actually not a bad point, the prop thing…
How is pulling a pacifier out any different than taking off a jersey with another jersey beneath? Both are props……
your referring to CO i presume…?
Positives for the Rapids tonight:
1. No red cards.
2. They chose the right match to win against Dallas FC and the right one to lose.
3. Those new away jerseys are an improvement.
Did the Rapids pay off the official to not give them cards or eject their players? WTF
watching on fsc…in regards to brek shea…happy with him at lb and his performance so far. considering this is his first start there i wont complain to much about his poor pass distribution, but his runs up the flank have been nice. if he’s ever going to be an option at the national level at lb, his “D” will need to improve but once he gets that down he’ll have a lot of upside. he’s a very pacey player so it wouldnt worry me too much of him getting outrun or being able to recover after getting juked. i guess time will tell on if he develops by getting enough minutes at the position for dallas
Disappointed overall with the quality of play
its always just big kicks from one side of the field to the other, no real possesion, and too many back passes to the goalie
That’s correct. Presumably they didn’t get the rights to show them online when they were negotiating with MLS.

did not see this scoreline coming, considering their respective starts… 3-0 to Dallas
Just so I’m certain: The much-maligned foxsoccer.tv does not carry the FSC MLS games (like this one), right?
Brek Shea playing Left Back. Very pumped about that. I always thought it was worth a shot after hearing the reports he did so well playing CB this summer. Hopefully he can turn into something really good there and be the next LB for the usmnt. Very hopeful thought there but you never know.
Where’s the red card? That has to be an ejection.
Goal Dallas. Well deserved after the pressure they were putting Colorado under
dallas is bringing it!
much appreciated
Mastroeni failed a fitness test???
someone hook me up with a link, didnt seem to see one on the Atdhe site.
shea’s playing left back? angling for the USMNT job?
