FC Dallas got help from the referee in the dying moments for the second straight game to salvage a home draw against Toronto FC. After referee Mark Geiger’s dubious call in the penalty area during stoppage time, Kenny Cooper converted the kick to give FC Dallas a crucial point and a chance to still make the playoffs. ]]> http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/10/13/on-the-brink/feed/ 11 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/10/04/bailout-plan/ http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/10/04/bailout-plan/#comments Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:01:27 +0000 John Carlton http://www.3rddegree.net/?p=2442

Needing a win to maintain position for a playoff berth, FC Dallas instead managed only a 1-1 draw at home against the expansion San Jose Earthquakes. The Hoops came back from a goal deficit to salvage a point on a Kenny Cooper penalty kick in the 89th minute. The result means that FC Dallas need to win their remaining games and hope for help to get into the post-season tournament. ]]> http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/10/04/bailout-plan/feed/ 15 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/29/the-surge-is-working/ http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/29/the-surge-is-working/#comments Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:35:51 +0000 John Carlton http://www.3rddegree.net/?p=2387

In Week 27 of Major League Soccer, FC Dallas’ wild season continued Sunday with a 3-0 win against visiting DC United. Goals from Andre Rocha, Jeff Cunningham and Kenny Cooper gave Dallas one of its more complete victories of the year. With the playoffs looming, the Hoops are finding their form at the perfect time and resurging as a force to be reckoned with in Major League Soccer. ]]> http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/29/the-surge-is-working/feed/ 6 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/14/counter-punch/ http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/14/counter-punch/#comments Mon, 15 Sep 2008 01:31:16 +0000 John Carlton http://www.3rddegree.net/?p=2248 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/14/counter-punch/feed/ 15 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/05/sinking-ship/ http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/05/sinking-ship/#comments Fri, 05 Sep 2008 15:01:37 +0000 John Carlton http://www.3rddegree.net/?p=2158 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/05/sinking-ship/feed/ 13 http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/02/speed-bump/ http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/02/speed-bump/#comments Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:38:34 +0000 John Carlton http://www.3rddegree.net/?p=2118

At the beginning of August, which seems like a lifetime ago, a new hope and vigor infused the clubhouse at FC Dallas. New signings and a bit of a win streak seemed to give the team the lift it needed heading into the home stretch of regular season play. But when the epitaph is written for this season’s campaign, it may tell the sad story of two August matches against the Columbus Crew.]]> http://www.3rddegree.net/2008/09/02/speed-bump/feed/ 1
