Monday Morning Gaffer: FC Dallas at West Texas United Sockers

Hot Furness Burns FC Dallas

June 9th, 2010 . By: Buzz Carrick

Sockers' Dominic Furness battles with FC Dallas' Anthony WallaceWhile a five hour drive isn’t something I want to do every day, this annual trip to Midland is quite fun. It’s a small event for the reserves, but it’s taken seriously out here and is a lot of fun. A crowd of about 1800 on the short notice of this event isn’t to shabby. WTUS PR guys says they draw more than that in regular season events. That’s not bad at all for a PDL team.

Travel Squad for Midland Game

June 7th, 2010 . By: Buzz Carrick

The following is the list of players on the travel roster for the game in Midland against the West Texas United Sockers.  The starting lineup will obviously come from this list of players.  One could reasonably expect both new signing Milton Rodriguez and trialist Jackson to start.  I think it also safe to predict the diamond 4-4-2.

Zip It: San Jose Earthquakes at FC Dallas

June 6th, 2010 . By: Jay Brownlee


Brek Shea scored twice Saturday night as FC Dallas used a second-half surge to cruise by the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 at Pizza Hut Park. Shea’s goals, just two minutes apart were ample demonstration that his early-season jitters seem far behind the young player. Shea’s emergence should figure in any chances Dallas has over the remainder of the season to secure a post-season berth. Indeed, both goals were so calmly taken and made to look so simple that memories of booted game-winning sitters faded in these two lovely goals.
