FC Dallas registered their second most important road win last week when they traveled to Vancouver. (The biggest one was SKC and getting that monkey off their back.) The question now is, can Dallas do it again? Portland is incredibly good at home (10-2-3) this year while Dallas has only won once, ever, in Portland. This one points to “nah, not this time” for Dallas, but they’ve already proved us wrong twice this season. Will they strike a third time?
