Zip It: FC Dallas at KC Wizards

September 20th, 2009 . By: Jay Brownlee

In American football, teams often look to try to win the game on at least two of the “three” sides of the ball, offense, defense and special teams. Soccer, of course, is a much more free-flowing sport, but winning offense and defense is sometimes not enough to win a match. If soccer has a pointy-ball equivalent, it is the set-piece that comes closest to special teams. Poor play on set-pieces can and do cost teams matches.

The FC Dallas Jersey Pitch

September 18th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

A interesting document, FC Dallas Team Jersey Presentation, came across my desk earlier this year and I couldn’t really decide what to do with it. It’s a document FCD sent out to potential jerseys sponsors and it was eventually forwarded on to me b y one of them. I imagine through several hands before mine. Jerseys and the lack of a sponsor comes up a couple times a year and since it’s a hot topic again I decided rather than posting the document for people to download, since technically I don’t own the thing, I would just share some highlights of the presentation.

Practice Observations: A Problem

Thursday, September 17th, 2009, 9:30 AM, adidas training field.

September 17th, 2009 . By: Buzz Carrick

It’s a bit wet out, cloudy and overcast with sprinkles all session; just as it has been all week. The cool low 70s temps make for great training conditions. Hyndman says it’s been a terrific week. We’ll see if it translates to the KC game.
