FC Dallas started off the season incredibly hot. Through the first three games, the Hoops scored three wins — the only team to pull off the feat this year — and after ten matches had secured 20 points. But the last four matches have not been nearly as kind to FC Dallas. In those matches,
Promotion and relegation in soccer can sometimes be the most exciting thing in sports. As the season winds down, there’s drama at both the top and bottom of the standings. Teams at the top are clamoring for either a spot in the Champions League, or the equivalent, the league title and possible promotion to the
Over the past year-plus, FC Dallas has become known for its flashy offense. Between Mauro Diaz, Fabian Castillo, Blas Perez and Tesho Akindele, the Hoops certainly have no shortage of highlight-real playmakers. But there’s also the saying that goes, “defense wins championships” which is true for all sports. Scoring points/goals/runs is nice and all, but it
As much as soccer is about the 11 guys on the pitch working in rhythm with each other, the offensive end of the game primarily focuses on one guy who creates chances for other guys to cash in goals. For the U.S. men’s national team, it’s Michael Bradley. For Manchester United, it’s Angel Di Maria,

Last August, I got my first taste of professional soccer when my dad and I went to the U.S. Open Cup match between FC Dallas and Philadelphia, which saw the Union advance on penalty kicks. But this past Saturday I attended my first MLS match with all the bells and whistles the FC Dallas game
So I wrote this Wednesday afternoon before MLS and the players reached a deal and when things seemed like they weren’t going anywhere. Obviously now there’s a new CBA in place. But here’s what I would have said today had no deal been reached yet. As I write this post on Wednesday, there is still
Last year, two Dallas-area sports teams exceeded the expectations of many in their respective sports: the Dallas Stars and FC Dallas. Unfortunately, the Stars have failed to build upon that surprising season to be in a better position this year. With only about a month or so until the end of the regular season, it’s
As the start of the 2015 Major League Soccer season approaches in two weeks, there’s a dark cloud looming all of the pomp and circumstance surrounding the opening weekend–CBA negotiations. Currently, MLS and the player’s union have no CBA in place; that expired back at the end on January. Now the race is on to
