Everything has been a welcome change in Dallas this season. A refreshed attack, a home unbeaten streak, a healthy set of starters, a six point lead on the Western Conference, and shrewd offseason acquisitions (I’ve suddenly forgotten who Peter Luccin was) have all catapulted Frisco FC to new heights. None of these things were present […]

Three. Ten. Four. These three numbers have much to bear on FCD’s burgeoning 2013 road campaign: they were last year’s dismal results away from Frisco. Only thirteen out of a possible fifty-one points went in Hyndman’s direction in 2012. This may be the biggest question for FCD, given the club’s superb form in success: can […]

There was a good deal of grumbling amongst supporters after the Chicago Fire lost handily to the Houston Dynamo last week. But after an appropriate cooling off period sense returned—beating Houston at home would have been a feat and the Fire is not the team to do that…yet. Predominately, the reaction was one of frustration, […]
