""The biggest piece is mentality. We know our backs are up against the wall, and Colorado is going to be the same monster. "They're in the playoff picture right now. They're a couple of spots above us, and we're chasing. "And when you're chasing, you have to knock people off. It is one that we have to go after this weekend.""
""It's going to be a really tough game. I've seen them play lately, they're combative, they're tough, they're making things happen. I already know we'll have our hands full. "This is what it's all about; these are all playoff games for us. We're not looking to just scrape in and stumble into the playoffs; we want to make some noise in the playoffs.""
FC Dallas sit 11th in the Western Conference with 34 points, one behind ninth-placed San Jose and holding a game in hand. The team has a five-game MLS unbeaten run (W2 D3) and secured a 2-0 home win over Austin FC that provided a confidence boost. Colorado are eighth on 39 points but have not secured a playoff spot and respond after beating Houston 2-1 following back-to-back losses. The upcoming match at Toyota Stadium is framed as a crucial, combative contest with both sides treating it like a playoff game. Dallas need wins over higher-placed opponents to improve postseason positioning.
