Sorry folks not had much time for this this week. Some quick thoughts on tonights game.

Colorado v Dallas

Have to say I like Dallas a lot here. They will qualify from this round of the playoffs and comfortably too imo.

Colorado for me only got here due to the poor start and inconsistencys of LA and RSL.

They are a side who are pretty physical nd battle well but they lack quality badly in the final half of the pitch.

Second lowest scoring side in the league with their top goalscorer having a measly 7 goals. They have relied many a time of goals coming from other areas on the pitch.

A boost for them is the return of Terry Cooke. The best delivery by a mile in the MLS and his set plays could be the only hope for Colorado.

Big blow for Colorado is the suspension of Petke. Very good defender who will be sorely missed meaning Maestroni is likely to deputise which then weakens Colorado in the middle of the park.

Winless in 5 games and i expect this run to continue to 6.

Dallas are a great side and have a great chance of going all the way.

All through the squad they have quality and have a good mixture, especially upfront with pace, power and skill from Ruiz and Cooper.

No injury worries here and this game will suit them to a tee as they know Colorado will have to make the plays and the attacking onus is on them.

Both sides hve played 4 times in the league so far this season. Dallas are unbeaten winning 3 times and drawing once.

At Colorado they have beaten them 2-0 and 2-2 so have the momentum in their favour coming into this game.

All in all i feel the lack of scoring quality in the Colorado line up will come back to haunt them and feel there is some big value in Dallas here.

For some cover back Dallas on the level ball handicap.

Dallas +0 Asian Handicap @ 2.18 (6/10)

Plenty of time left mate.

The longer it stays 1-1 the better as Colorado will start pushing more forward hoping for the winner which will then gift Dallas a lot better counter attacking opportunity.

What are you on by the way?

Dallas win and im delighted but even if its a draw im in good profit. Just hope Colorado don't win

lol...i took ur advice on the lvl handicap during in-running, mins later dallas strike, was happy for less than ten mins...lol

VacheronLim · #9 (**permalink**) 22-10-2006, 02:22

dallas go ahead as i'm typing...hehe

GaNgStA kEeKs · #10 (**permalink**) 22-10-2006, 02:23

Yeah 2-1 now.

Going by what the Dallas fans are saying it looks like the linesman did us a favour as it was meant to be clear offside

m happy as long as the results favour us, we do get our share of injustice sometimes isn't it? tis should balance things up...

Ive had about 5 last minute goals against me this season roughly in MLS so lets hope no more today

Dallas basically played defence defence last 20 mins.

GaNgStA kEeKs · #13 (**permalink**) 22-10-2006, 02:55

Colorado down to 10 men now

GaNgStA kEeKs · #14 (**permalink**) 22-10-2006, 02:57

6 minutes of extra time. What a joke

GaNgStA kEeKs · #15 (**permalink**) 22-10-2006, 03:03

2-1 full time.

Colorado had 3 times as many attempts on goal as Dallas but it came down to the attacking quality difference in both sides like i mentioned.

Possibly be back tomorow with some more although the games look a bit too close for a punt.
