What They're Saying
FC Dallas manager Oscar Pareja (via MLS): "I'm very proud of the players. We really put a great exhibition on for the fans that came. The fans got to see a team that is attacking minded all the time. We came in here [to Portland] and tried to play our game away from home. It was great, but as I said, the best team isn't the one that wins the points sometimes. We have to accept it."
Colorado Rapids midfielder Sam Cronin: "We've been winless in four games; last season makes no difference whatsoever. It's a new group of players, not an ideal way to start the season, but we're going to hold our heads high and keep working."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: No player is more dangerous on the ball in MLS than FC Dallas' Fabian Castillo. In five appearances this season, the 22-year-old has one goal and an average of 4.4 take-ons.
FC Dallas' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Seitz; Hernandez, Loyd, Hedges, Harris; Castillo, Michel, Ulloa, Hollingshead; Perez, Akindele
