    Hate to break it to you Chamo but the entire Houston organization from top to bottom is better than FC Dallas

    looks like Houston had their starting D in for the first half, at least.

    Why is it that the Houston media machine can have a match report and live radio coverage and ours can’t even be bothered to make a blog post about it?

    At least we got a couple of tweets about how cold she was.

    Yes, they have trialists, and not just friends and old college players…..

    I recently sent FC Dallas an email asking if they were interested in looking for a center mid player. I’m kind of soccer agent and well they never replied. The player was Jonathan De Leon. My next email went out to Houston Dynamo they quickly replied and gave jonathan a plane ticket to Florida where he is currently on trial with the dynamo. FC Dallas is odd

    In the Stephens article it says Cunningham has a slight groin pull. Hope it’s not the start of an injury plagued year for him. Dallas definitely need another striker.

    FCD has no GM or Tech Dir currently. that could be an answer to that issue.

    Chase you are not breaking anything to me personally. I did not want to be as blunt as our friend bruno.

    Interesting story anon. I am sure there are hundreds just like that one about every team in MLS.

    Good catch Pegasus!

    We have a master plan, right? No feeds + no blog updates + beautiful pics in HD + inexperienced play-by-play –> people have to come to the games to get their FCD!

    Amen Chase! I have no idea what is going on with this organization! It’s like they are asleeep at the wheel. From top to bottom, I question if this club is even going to make it in the long run. Not surprising that the agent got no response. I can’t even get them to contact me when I am trying to hand them money. All the old Tornado’s have got to be shaking their heads. Those men, and the entire Dallas soccer community deserve better. Hopefully Clark finds his way to this blog occasionally.
