“We liked our performance out in LA, and we’re going to build on it.”
FC Dallas Head Coach Eric Quill
Tied for 8th in MLS, FC Dallas (4 points, 1-1-1), hosts perhaps the best team in MLS, San Diego FC (9 points, 3-0-0), at 7:30 pm CT at Toyota Stadium. San Diego has yet to allow a goal against, while bagging 8 for themselves.
It’s Anime Night with a giveaway of a Specialty Naruto x FC Dallas T-shirt for the first 1,000 fans. A post-match drone show featuring Naruto Shippuden will begin shortly after the final whistle.
San Diego opened their series against Toluca in the CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 with a 3-2 win at home on Wednesday night. They go to Toluca next Wednesday, so fans will hope they look past FCD with the bigger task at hand midweek.

FC Dallas Lineup Prediction
Let’s face it, Bernie Kamungo has been poor, but the swap of sides last week woke him up a bit. Also, the two other options at left wing back, at least the ones that don’t require moving Shaq Moore or Herman “Monster” Johansson, are less assured and trusted. So I am leaving Bernie in the prediction XI.
Leaving Kamungo in is, in part, because of Osaze Urhoghide’s status being “questionable.” I’m going with the vibes I hear and leaving Oz out; obviously, everyone hopes for good news that he is fine.
The Big O being out means Senastien Ibeagha has to go into the middle as Alvaro Augusto is nowhere near trusted enough to start in the middle. So it comes down to Nolan Norris at left center back or Lalas Abubakar at right center back with Shaq More at left. I’m going with Norris.
But this is clearly a “who the hell knows” situation when, far and away, the team’s best defender could be out.
