Rescind Blas Perez’s red card. It’s not much of a request and more of demand. But if you’re intent on providing justice it will happen. There was no intent by Blas on the play. Was it a bit reckless? Yes. Was it his first offense Sunday night? Yes. Did it have some unfortunate timing? Sure. […]

Why do the powers that be hate the Dallas midfield? How many Ouija boards are in the FCD locker room? Is half the team practicing Santeria? Do we really need to break out the horse placenta to speed up Villar and Ferreira’s recovery? Let’s hope not, but Dallas is in desperate need of a full, […]

“You can call it an emergency,” Hyndman said. “I think when you go without four starters; it’s becoming a bit of an emergency.” Let’s try five starters. The FCD injured reserve list resembles a team returning from the trenches more than it does a team returning from the soccer field. David Ferreira, Ricardo Villar, Carlos Rodriguez, […]

Not to get too Dickensian and poetic about Wednesday night, but the game was really a tale of two halves.  Technically, Dallas should have taken more than a one goal lead in the first half. Technically, Salt Lake should have been on their back foot after the pummeling they took during the first 45 minutes. […]

An unbeaten record (8-0-1 in the league) against a quality side like RSL does fit all the characteristics of a spell well set upon the Utah-based side. Dallas, still, will have its work cut out after a difficult road loss on Saturday at the hands of the Whitecaps. “It’s disappointing losing on the road, but […]

Vancouver came out like a team determined to put its recent defeat at the hands of Kansas City in the past. Dallas came out as a side hoping to set up another final 20 minutes of late-match drama. BC Place witnessed a match won in just 10 minutes of pressure from the home side. Vancouver’s […]

Dallas finds itself pitted against a recently-defeated Whitecaps side on Saturday. Hyndman and company fortunately find themselves in a preferable situation, having a full week’s rest and time to travel prior to Saturday.  Vancouver, however, was routed by Kansas City (like all of KC’s opposition) Wednesday night and only has a three day respite ahead […]

Whatever type of cliché nickname from the American sports world applies fully to the boys from Dallas at this moment (“Cardiac Kids” just popped into your head, right?). Those few fans with shaky hearts are probably the only ones suffering. FCD is starting to develop a habit of switching it on late in the game. […]

I had a tough time coming up with a good, non-Google Translate translation of the headline (since everyone’s doing it). There’s something about playing a team with a mainly French website that rubs me the wrong way (probably similar to the type of feeling most foreign women get in Paris). Joking! Canadians are wonderful people, […]

Until the 9th minute Thursday night most FC Dallas fans would’ve pinned Fabian Castillo to be the highlight of the match. Castillo ruptured a few Revolution ACL’s and MCL’s in the process, taking multiple cutting runs and knee bending turns through the New England defense. Most would agree the match was a fairly dull affair until […]

FC Dallas is at the foot of a mountain, gazing upward. Certainly it’s not a Vesuvius (with the lava, ash, and all) or Kilimanjaro, or a McKinley for that matter, but the uphill climb the team faces could become steep without a desirable result against New England Thursday night. Team issues with FC Dallas Team mentality. Brek Shea and Carlos Rodriguez […]

Is this tailspin as bad as the Hindenburg’s? Not quite, but serious corrections need to be made to a Dallas squad that has capitulated in the second half three games on the trot. As refreshing as it was to see Brek and Carlos back in the lineup Friday night, FCD looked uninspired late on against […]

FCD finds itself in a funk at the moment. Not the type of funk gracing your ears as you drunkenly stumble around your cousin’s wedding reception (we’ve all got vices). It’s the type of mental funk that a team enters after giving up leads after 45 minutes for two consecutive games. The boys in red […]

FC Dallas finds itself on somewhat of a skid (let’s face it: the Portland match should’ve been won) after losing 2-1 to Sporting KC at Livestrong Park Sunday evening. If not a skid, then certainly the boys from Frisco left the game with their confidence battered. Goals for FCD were sparse and unpredictable. Dallas’ sole […]

Pardon me for the melodramatic overtones hanging from that headline. Bobby Warshaw: your heroics in KC last year are still not forgotten, and a fightback that special will have to be replicated on Sunday (or at least the effort will need to be). Simply put: this will be a tough task for FCD. Dallas enters […]
