FC Dallas is nearly done with their summer-long road trip, as they take on the Vancouver Whitecaps tonight in BC Place.
Lineups are in from both sides. Let’s dive into what Eric Quill’s starting group looks like, who is on the bench, and who we believe will see minutes later on in this one.
What Changed From Last Match
Talk about rotation. Josh Torquato earns his first start of the season, 4th of his career, replacing Kamungo.
Front three of Farrington, Sarver & Binyamin rotating in for Musa, Valiente, Moreno.
Abubakar & Ibeagha in the backline, Urhoghide rested with Shaq Moore moving to the wings.

Who should come off the bench?
Given the heavy rotation, I’d imagine Musa, Moreno, Kaick, Kamungo and Valiente will come off the bench in this one.
Key Question Heading Into Kickoff
Can the defense rebound against the Caps?
Wednesday night was nearly a disaster for the club, as Dallas gave up a two-goal lead before Ran Binyamin rescued the team in the 90th minute to win 4-3. We know that Vancouver is always going to be a tough out for this Dallas squad, as they were one of the last teams to beat Dallas in league play. Brief lapses like we saw in Utah on Wednesday will get pounced on by the Caps.
