Can't even go with a sweater, vest combo. Have to break out the winter coat again. I haven't worn a jersey to a home game this season.

I would have loved to do to the long sleeve jersey and vest combo this weekend. Sadly, that will not happen.
Wear under armour or uniqlo heat gear under the kit. Really thin undergarments that'll keep you warm. If you really want to vest, go ahead and rep the jersey and the vest. Don't let the weather wear you down.

The team is 3-0-0 at home when I wear my winter jacket and specific scarf that I've been wearing all these game. If it continues, I'll have to do the same even in the July weather...
 
Got 2 tickets to the game if anyone wants. Section 103 row 4.
 

The good news is that the weather is trending warmer.

What happened to Maxime? The only player that acknowledged me while boarding the trip back to New York from Portland. We can't miss his defensive presence. Noooooo...

I guess Ibeagha fills in next to Callens.

DAL - 9 (1.5)

Goals Conceded
NYC - 9 (1.1)
DAL - 3 (0.5)

ETA: They've been going with their backup goalkeeper, Maurer, while Gonzalez is injured. If he sounds familiar, it is because he was the Cosmos goalkeeper until this season.
I decided to calculate your schedule ranking index based on Power Rankings for Dallas.

12, @13, 14, 18, 19, 22 = 16.33
And only one of those on the road. For reference the NYC score is 10.13, with most on the road.

You need to fine tune your index by assigning a pulled-from-random but defensible multiplier for Away games.

In any event, their schedule has been very soft to date.
 
Good stuff. I am also going to reply to this in the MLS Elite thread.

I will say here that Dallas is a tough team to analyze. Schedule that's not too tough and mostly played at home. Undefeated, but a lot of ties, which is probably because their games are low scoring.

Is there a game of theirs this year that is particularly impressive? Going up to New England and winning 1-0 is a really good result, but it's hardly something a team wants to claim as its best performance. Our win at SKC and tie at Atlanta are both more impressive, for example.

Hey guys,

It's a personal matter that we've been asked to respect his privacy about which we're honoring. PV told us he's waiting and seeing for Sunday.

Okay, if it's a personal matter then it's about his family and not about his physical well being (i.e. injury). Having a child, illness/death in the family, etc.

There's more to life than football.
Yeah hope everything is ok

fun story: my family and I stopped by the Church of Sweden in the city a few weeks back (don't ask), but I noticed they had this posted: http://imgur.com/gallery/G1BPKMa

Spoke to some of the people there - they like to plan outings like this and bring as many people as possible. They were even at the home opener when Tinnerholm scored. So if you see anyone with a Swedish flag tomorrow, give them a high-five.

Why did you and your family stop by The Church of Sweden a few weeks back?
