The second half of Friday night’s Viernes de Fútbol doubleheader features FC Dallas and the New York Red Bulls, two of the most impressive teams in the 2015 MLS season to date, clashing at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas (9 pm ET; Univision Deportes/UnivisionDeportes.com and in English via SAP, MLS LIVE in Canada/Mexico).
To mark the occasion, Red Bulls fan site Once A Metro has taken us all on a brief but memorable trip back to the 1980s.
Back then, “Dallas” wasn’t the home of Fabian Castillo, Mauro Diaz & Co., but rather the name of television’s most popular show, a primetime soap opera with more twists and turns than most viewers could ever hope to keep up with.
The theme song alone should cause instant flashbacks for many middle-agers. But even if you can’t quite remember (or are just too young to have any idea) who killed JR Ewing, you can surely appreciate the ethos of big hats, big hair and big oil as you count down to the big game in Frisco.
