There he is. The fangs, the claws, the poised predator stalking his prey; and yet again, as he lurches forward at the critical moment to seize the bunny, the bunny scampers away. Cristian Colman is nearing Wile E. Coyote status when it comes to futility.
It’s easy to forget that Colmán scored twice in four games in CCL including a crucial header that almost sent FC Dallas to extra time in Pachuca. This has everything to do with the fact he only has one assist to show for the entirety of his MLS and US Open Cup matches so far, and that’s down to a spectacular combination of bad luck and self-inflicted misfortune which, although not the product of an anvil or a purchase he made from ACME, are no less tragic.
