After an offweek, FC Dallas takes their two game winning streak to Columbus. The Crew currently sits on 31 points from 9 wins 6 losses and 4 draws. Look for the debut of recent signings Victor Sikora and Jeff Cunningham. The Sikora just completed a three year run with NAC Breda in his home country's Eredivisie (first division). Since making his professional debut in 1994, he has also played for the Go Ahead Eagles, Ajax Amsterdam and Vitesse. He also has six appearances with the Dutch national team to his credit and played for the Dutch league champions in 2002 and 2004. "(I am) glad to have Victor with us," Hyndman said. "I think he's an experienced player with a great resume who has played at the highest level. He will add to our strike force. He's a quick player, with a good work ethic who really understands the tactics of the game. I really think he will make our team a better team. The one thing that we haven't been able to completely grasp is getting behind the opposition on the flanks and I think he will (do that)," Hyndman continued. "I think he will make forward runs and we can play balls into space for him. He can make some good decisions and can also finish. He'll be a nice addition to the team." Jeff Cunningham trained with his new club for the first time last week and is already getting acclimated to his new surroundings, which includes impressing his new coach. "He's a proven goal scorer," FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman said. "I think in our little scrimmage here that we went for 22 minutes, he picked up two goals. So, I think he's got the speed, he's got the experience and can hold the ball as well as anybody on our strike force. I think he could be that player that we need to make a difference."
