FC Dallas has spent the majority of the 2016 campaign atop MLS the league, winning the Supporters Shield for the leagues best record on the final day of the regular season and capturing the US Open Cup that signifies the best soccer team -- regardless of level -- in the United States.But FC Dallas will have to pull off a miracle on Sunday when it hosts the Seattle Sounders FC at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas in the second leg of the Western Conference semifinals to make sure 2016 is not defined by eight minutes of the second half of its 3-0 loss to Seattle on Oct. 30.After a scoreless first half at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, the Sounders FC netted three goals in the first 13 minutes after intermission. Forward Nelson Valdez began the deluge in the 50th minute before Nicola Lodeiro put away the game, and likely the series, with goals in the 55th and 58th minute. FC Dallas never responded.The conference semifinals are held over two legs, with aggregate goals determining which team moves forward. In the event that both teams score an equal number of goals over the course of the two matches, the team with the greater number of road goals for the series advances.Should the series be tied for both total goals and away goals, the teams play two 15-minute periods of extra time at the conclusion of the second leg in which away goals do not count. This is followed by penalty kicks, if necessary, to determine the winner.Seattle will advance to the conference semifinal (against either Colorado or Los Angeles) unless FC Dallas scores at least three times and keeps the Sounders FC without a goal. Should the Sounders get just one goal in regulation time, Dallas will need to score five to advance.I have to kkeep the optimism for the group that has overcome (adversity) during the year, Dallas coach Oscar Pareja said.dddddddddddd Well keep fighting. This team has shown during the year that we can overcome difficult situations. Why not this one, as well?FC Dallas has to score once before it can score thrice; it hasnt found the net in its past two matches since the season-ending injury to Mauro Diaz, its top playmaker.What FC Dallas is attempting has never been achieved in league history.If you think about it like you need to score three goals right away, or four goals right away its just overwhelming, Dallas forward/midfielder Tesho Akindele said.
