Spring is in the air.... MLS time in Texas

Mr. Lucky

Opening day for the MLS is right around the corner…… Long season, IMO it should be cut before the start of Football. 

We have 3 MLS teams in the Tex/Lou area. (NoLa would be a great place for an MLS team)

ATX ( Austin FC)  | DTX (FC Dallas) | HTX (Dynamo)

 

Lets start with HTX La Naranja - New Coach New Front office, this will be a rebuilding season for the Dynamo. Last year was like walking on a bed of hot coals.  Ben O will have his hands full, however all H needs is a spark and a chip to start the season right. They made some key moves in the offseason. Coco being one. The Mexican guy will have to prove his salary this year. Our prediction for the Orange, they will get it together on the back end of 2023. Wont be enough to make playoffs,  Progress in EaDo is what the faithful want to see. 

 

DTX - How many Jesus's does a team require? This team can win, nobody wants to see that Spain Tika Ta BS. Texas we pin our ears back and go forward.  How many games last year did we see, Dallas had the other team against the ropes, but never could land the KO blow. They got to cautions at times and got light in the pants. I would like to see DTX, get after they go up 1 nil. They tend to relax with a lead. FYI Playoff teams don't relax with a 1-0 lead. FC will make the playoffs.

 

 

The Green Trees, ATX is well balanced. They play well, with good form. I want to see Austin get nasty. The First game I want some to get a red card from the jump and set the tone for the season. The goons on the back, show the league hard times. IF you come back here, we will leave a mark. The only thing lacking from the ATX holding up that trophy is TOUGHNESS. They get tough they win the MLS cup. Playoffs yes, Championship depends on the pants.
