At what point does Hans Backe literally start calling every single one of his detractors and say, "Scoreboard." So far, I've been spending the bulk of this game basically just saying how awful I think the New York Red Bulls coach is, and yet his team is leading 1-0 and poised to register a mild upset over FC Dallas in the MLS Cup wild card round.
FC Dallas Vs. New York Red Bulls Live, MLS Cup Playoffs 2011: Hans Backe Is Crazy ... Like A Fox ... Or Something
Backe only brought five bench players. He somehow duped a German goalkeeper into playing for his team. He refuses to play the next-great-American-prospect. He loves him some Mehdi Ballouchy. So far, it's all paying off and I'm starting to wonder if maybe he's just out-crazied all of us.
Maybe Backe really knows what he’s doing and this is all part of the plan. No one likes him, and he doesn’t care.
Then again, there’s still about 18 minutes left in this game and a lot can still go wrong. Come on Dallas, I really don’t want to receive that phone call.
