Feel Better?

July 17th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

In what may be the first of several moves, Marcelo Saragosa is out, Atiba Harris in. We call that a positive first step and hope for more.

Cowboys Stadium to Small for World Cup?

This picture of Mexico training there tells me it’s close. Damn close.

FCD Trades Saragosa for Atiba Harris

July 17th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

Atiba Harris (Courtesy FCD)In a move that has been brewing for a couple of week and merely waited on the health of Marcelo Saragosa; FC Dallas has sent their Brazilian midfielder/defender to Chivas USA for midfielder/forward Atiba Harris. FCD has been in sore need of a wide right midfielder and Harris can perhaps solve that problem. Harris should also inject some much needed pace into the FCD side.

Monday Morning Gaffer: Comunicaciones

July 16th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

I have to say there wasn’t a ton of entertainment in this game, except maybe for the scrum that resulted from McCarty trading head buts with Freddy Thompson. FCD played almost a First XI in the front rank. I’m ok with that as the team now has a week and a half off to come back fresh. Defensively we saw a few guys get on the field that sorely need some PT.

Hyndman on Szetela

A.k.a. You learn something new everyday.

July 16th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

Yesterday I was fairly harsh on the decision to pass on Szetela without getting something from DC. I said, and I still think I’m right, that there had better be something we don’t know. Some consideration or some player set to come back that will make it worthwhile. So after the post Comunicaciones game press confluence with coach Hyndman, I waited till last then asked a series of questions about Szetela.

Zip It: Comunicaciones vs FC Dallas

July 16th, 2009 . By: Jay Brownlee

CSD Comunicaciones of Guatemala, known to their fans as Las Cremas, came into Pizza Hut Park to face FC Dallas in a pre-season tune-up friendly and losing 2-0 to the home club. FC Dallas came into the match on the heels of an ugly loss in Colorado and looking forward to a bye week, including the next four days off. It was a perfect recipe for a dull match.

Cooper to Bristol City?

Almost a laughing matter.

FCD Passes on Szetela

Unless there is something we don’t know, FCD blew this one.
