For twenty minutes against Houston, FCD played some of the pretties soccer we’ve seen this year. But pretty doesn’t win. The same old problems of finishing and defending raised there head.

There is simply no better team in Major League Soccer right now than Houston Dynamo. Unfortunately for FC Dallas, Houston used their old whipping boy to prove their point Saturday night in Dallas at hot and damp Pizza Hut Park, mercilessly and methodically destroying the home club 3-1 in the Texas derby.

RSL got themselves a plane. Seriously.
I’ve been thinking about the bad attendance and I’ve been wanting to try and place some blame. So to that end I did some number crunching. So here’s a breakdown of each MLS season, FCD’s numbers, and where they finished in attendance and in the standings.
FCD is averaging a whopping low 8801 in the stands this season.

An odd match at an odd time in odd weather, it’s not a wonder such an odd game took place. This game was was set up as a reserve game for FCD from the get go. Why FCD decided to charge a gate and make it an official friendly I don’t know. Perhaps they have to or were asked to? To be far I recall other games against teams from other countries being done this way during the season, Atlas springs to mind, but given the crazy game the gate ended up hurting the usefulness of the event.
