Lightning and MLS Primetime Thursday

What do they have in common beside not knowing when either will strike?

Dario Sala of FC Dallas and Wilman Conde of the Chicago Fire were part of a tragedy in Colombia five years ago. One afternoon lightning struck Deportivo Cali's practice field killing two their teammates and changing them forever.If Conde wasn't out due to a red card this would be the first time on the field together since that fateful day in the mountains of Colombia. They will share dinner following the game according to Burt Constable who wrote this fabulous story of the two and their connection.

'Lightning's nightmare can't stop American dreams'

Oh yea, the game is on the Deuce at 8:00pm.
