Elite Eight
With consecutive losses, already there are mentions of last season’s collapse being heaped onto Oscar Pareja. Hosting Minnesota this weekend, FC Dallas should expect to earn three points. With a point, the Hoops will remain in first place for one more week, but extending this poor run of form would inspire even more doubters. On current form, FC Dallas lost in the Acosta for Badji trade.. 12-4-6. Previous: 4th. FC Dallas. 6. team. 370
375. All good things come to an end. Vancouver was able to provide resistance in all the areas of the pitch Diego Valeri loves to occupy most. With their attack frustrated, the Timbers allowed two goals before Valeri could convert a penalty. The Timbers rode their wave of results to the top end of the table. Losses to Vancouver and D.C. United will test this team’s resolve. Sporting KC welcomes Portland this weekend. Another loss and Gio Savarese will have to question going with the same approach in every game.. 10-4-7. Previous: 2nd. Portland Timbers. 5. team
Away games never require pretty or attractive play. With Bradley Wright-Phillips at striker, only a chance or two is needed to snag three points from a conservative and dull bottom-of-the-table team. Exhibit A would be last week’s 1-0 win at Chicago. The Red Bulls got the job done and now sit top of the table on Points Per Game. This week’s game at Vancouver will be a test, but, with help, it would see the Red Bulls take the top spot on total points as well.. 15-6-2. Previous: 3rd. New York Red Bulls. 2. team. 373
