The headline’s a tad harsh, to be fair. No one saw Portland’s goal coming.  Not Schellas Hyndman.  Certainly not John Spencer (he was giving a TV interview at that exact moment). Definitely not Darlington Nagbe, the eventual goalscorer, who found a gift-wrapped back pass via Daniel Hernandez (if we can even call it that) inside […]

Before I get into anything serious I’d like to posit that Sunday’s game was a hell of a time. Dallas enters this game on a bittersweet high from their victory last Sunday versus New York. Fabian Castillo left the game in the 31st minute with a knee knock that could potentially sideline him for Saturday’s game. David […]

Dallas began with a healthy Ricardo Villar filling in for David Ferreira as third central midfielder (and fifth total). Against many predictions Hernan Pertuz started in place of George John for FC Dallas. For New York, a young Juan Agudelo started in place of in-form (at least according to the preseason) striker Kenny Cooper. From […]

Vengeance could be very sweet for Dallas. New York didn’t have to perform brilliantly to beat a fatigued and faltering Hoops squad in the first round of the 2011 playoffs to move on (2-0 in Frisco). However, the Hoops come up against a New York side in flux at the moment. Goalscorer Luke Rodgers is […]

I could’ve titled this “David Ferreira is Back and There is Nothing Else You Need to Know.” Really, I should have. The prospect of having DF10 back in the lineup opens up a world of possibilities for Dallas. The Hoops enter the 2012 season in an attempt to shake off 2011’s late-season blues. With new […]

Since the last update FCD’s been very active in their preparation for the 2012 season. Since then the squad has scrimmaged the New York Red Bulls (lost 2-0), Houston Baptist University (won 5-1), River Plate (tied 1-1), and the University of Memphis (won 6-0). This time has seen the rise in stock of a couple […]

Perez, Rodriguez, Hedges, Pertuz – not household names. Marquee signings? It remains to be seen with the season slowly approaching, attesting to the offseason activity that has picked up recently since the turn of 2012. They all certainly give FCD added depth in the back, save Blas Perez, who the club and supporters hope proves […]

FC Dallas defender George John’s move to English Premier League club Blackburn Rovers has apparently been called off. FC Dallas announced this on Sunday. “Despite mutual interest, Blackburn Rovers and George John have decided not to enter into a contract,” FC Dallas president and CEO Doug Quinn said in a statement. This comes as a […]

Big news came out of Frisco, Texas this afternoon when word came down that midfielder Eric Avila had been traded to Toronto FC for striker Maicon Santos. FC Dallas will also receive an international slot from Toronto FC. This leads me to believe that FC Dallas is still looking to make a big international signing. […]

FC Dallas (11-5-6) will come back home this weekend and face Chivas USA (6-7-8). Chivas USA had been struggling early on this year, but are now on a 5 game unbeaten streak and they are coming off a 3-0 win over the Houston Dynamo. FC Dallas are coming off a 2-2 draw to the New […]

Those of us in the Hoops nation are all talking about Kenny Cooper and where he may end up and if he would be a good fit for FC Dallas. Personally, I don’t think this would be a good move for FC Dallas. First, Cooper is still very young, 26 to be exact. He is […]

It was a hot 100 degree night at Pizza Hut Park Saturday night as FC Dallas hoped to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Real Salt Lake. They faced a revamped D.C. United offense who were coming off a 1-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls. There was not a lot going on […]

FC Dallas will travel to Rio Tinto stadium this weekend to face off against Real Salt Lake in a rematch of last year’s Western Conference semifinals. Real Salt Lake is coming off a wild 3-3 draw to the New England Revolution, who are now in the middle of a 5 game unbeaten streak. FC Dallas […]

FC Dallas came into the 2011 season with high expectations, they were the MLS Cup runners up and had the league MVP on their team. But the 2011 season got off to a slow start for FC Dallas, they only scored 3 goals thru their first 6 games and were an abysmal 1-4-1 thru week […]

FC Dallas (9-4-4) will hosts the Columbus Crew (6-4-6) in the second leg of the 2011 Pioneer Cup this weekend at Pizza Hut Park. FC Dallas rolled over the Portland Timbers last week in a convincing 4-0 victory. The Columbus Crew are also coming off a convincing 4-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids. FC Dallas […]
