And those words are: Not the time to tinker.
Let me be clear at the beginning. I'm not a coach, I've never been a coach, and I don't have
access to the kinds and amounts of information an MLS coach has at his disposal, nor the skills to
interpret it. But, having said that, I just plain didn't understand Bruce Arena's
starting lineup yesterday.

And those words are: EPIC FAIL! Or maybe I've got five words: What the @#$%&! was that? 6-3?
That's a team record for goals allowed in a game. 4 FCD goals game after the 70th minute. Three
came after the 81st minute. It was an unbelievable set of breakdowns across the board and a
new-look, increasingly confident, and very fast Dallas team took full advantage.
Loads of goals this week in MLS. Some were good and others were so-so. Throw in a few PKs and it
was a busy weekend in MLS.
There are plenty of goals this week, especially since we had a 6-3 game and a 3-2 game.

Last week I was all about "No More Ties!", not because i have a vendetta against neckwear (and a
penchant for lame puns), but because winning teams know how to scratch out wins from adverse
conditions at crunch time. The frustrating game in DC was the catalyst, though it was the third
game in a week played in the aftermath of a hurricane at the end of August in DC's home
stadium.
