KK: regarding the misses by Dom and Drew: It’s almost an unwritten law that bad teams don’t get the breaks. I agree with you totally on the Guarda first 4 seconds give away, that set the tone right there and I had the same feeling as you. Had that been Rocha SH would have pulled him right then.

twotone: It was Dello on the post. He drifted inside off the post as the ball came across. If he held his spot, Petke’s header hits him in the face. I laughed too at Dax’s listing of 6′0″.

FriscoFan: I’m in sec 108, row 27. I have not gotten my season ticket renewal letter yet – 23% really?!?

I think an orange cone might have had more production than Guarda. It only took him 4 seconds to make his first giveaway. Opening kickoff passed back to him, he traps, touches, passes without looking to his right straight to the Colorado player. I knew it was going to be a bad night right then.

With all that said, if FCD could finish (Moor’s open header, Dom inside the 6 twice, etc), they win that game. Not that either team deserved a win…

i watched the game on tv last night and the best par tof the game was when Dax came on the the ESPN2 stat line read “Dax McCarty 6′0″ 170″
my girl, who’s watched about 30 minutes of soccer in her whole life, asked if the corner flags were at least 6-feet tall cuz Dax was barely taller than the corner flag…..? i chuckled.

mikemike, wasnt that Avila on the post for the Petke goal….i mean off the post.

“3. Anybody else think Saragosa had a pretty good game?”

Yes, actually I did, so I was surprised to see him taken out — must have been because he was playing well . .. (yes, I know the real reason — to bring in more offense)

1. Not too suprising that Petke was unmarked given the lack of experience on the field. Looked like Coopers man though?

2. Dello Russo shoulda stayed on the post – he easily heads that ball away…

3. Anybody else think Saragosa had a pretty good game?

Finally, the season’s over!

Morrow might not have had the team playing “attractive” soccer (although I happen to have enjoyed it), but Hyndman’s got the the team not playing at all.

I really really want to renew my tickets for 2009 because I like the fact that Dallas has a soccer team, but I can’t help but think that if I renew my tickets it will let management think that I support their personnel decisions.

I’m sad.

Steve Morrows is looking in the glass bottle laughing his butt off. But then really feeling sorry for the guys. At least Marco was on the right stretch winning. These guys are greatest its not there fault that the so called coach is bring smu in.Its not even funny its a disgraced to the team. We have a great team. the guys love there fans and the true fans will always believe in them. But there is a few guys that are just to wet behind the ears need to play on reserves for along time.

There were something like 850 people in the stands at kickoff last night. (I stood up and counted, section by section.)

I will not be back next year. My seats in section 108, row 16 will be available to anyone at 23% more than I paid this year. Enjoy…

What a season. In general, I understand that I’m not a coach, and I must give the professionals the benefit of the doubt. That’s worked up until this point, because the teams I cheer for are either competently managed (Broncos) or completely hopeless (everybody else.) But I just can’t get on board with Schellus’s decisions. My favorites are riding pine, the style of play is brutal, and the quality has taken a nose-dive. I’m sure I’ll get over it in a few days, but I can’t fathom renewing season tickets at this point.
