Whoa…that looks amazing.

Funny thing, we didn’t actually make a prediction on last week’s game against LA (we rarely do score predictions in our previews). Still, gotta say this is interesting to see how AI is collecting data.

No real shocker here, but for the second straight year, there are no #FCDallas players on the annual 22 Under 22 list.

I’d still put money on Sali getting a buyout if they’re unable to secure another loan for him for the entire season.

#FCDallas did the right thing by honoring Matt Hedges on Saturday…but the question may be…who is next?

Matt Hedges returns home, where he belongs

We will ignore the season in Austin, won’t we?

Quill: I’ll say it again, from San Jose to today, I saw what this team can truly look like. Our training environment is just different. There is a purpose that they all believe in. We make mistakes but the recovery is fast. They’re trying to be a winner for each other. #FCDallas

#FCDallas is now unbeaten in eight after coming from behind to defeat the LA Galaxy 2-1.

The weird thing about an afternoon game this time of the year…you can’t scoreboard watch to see how everyone else is doing across the league. #FCDallas

Good lord, Patrickson Delgado. #FCDallas

Big D Soccer @bigdsoccer.com · 5d

Musa’s goal ties the #FCDallas all-time regular season goal mark at 18. He’s tied with Ferreira, Cooper and Kries. With a second half in this one and two more games to go, he has a very good chance of breaking that record.

Two changes for #FCDallas today in their starting XI with Collodi and Abubakar getting the start. Let‘s dive into that and more here.

#FCDallas has an updated injury list ahead of tomorrow’s game with LA. Paes and Pomykal are off the list (finally), while Lletget is out for tomorrow’s game and Jackson is questionable. Let’s discuss it all here.

I remember this from last year…#FCDallas trailed a lot in game. Slightly better in 2025, I think…especially if you look at more recent weeks.

MLS playoffs are coming soon, so here's my cheat sheet to digest how every team has performed this season

Big D Soccer @bigdsoccer.com · 6d

The @mlspa.bsky.social released the list of potential Free Agents for 2026…only 4 #FCDallas players appear on the list. Jacob Jackson (not under contract for 2026), Anderson Julio, Sebastian Lletget and Sebastien Ibeagha (all 3 pending contact options).

Would love to add a young CB like this as a replacement for one of the 30-somethings currently on the roster.

Matthew Doyle @mattdoyle.bsky.social · 7d

• Josh Wynder was awesome, the best CB prospect I've seen for the US in a while. If he was w/ the right MLS team (Chicago, Dallas, San Diego, Columbus, RSL) he'd have played 2500 minutes this year and would have a clear path to the World Cup roster.

As is, I worry he's gonna stay buried at Benfica.

I can only assume one of the set or prop folks for High Potential is from DFW with an FC Dallas (!!), Stars, and Cowboys pennants in the latest episode.

A wall with lots of sports posters and pennants from different sports teams including the Detroit Lions, LA Rams, FC Dallas, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Dallas Stars

We’re being told that #FCDallas will be announcing a single-day contract with former defender Matt Hedges later this week. Expect a full announcement out later this week when all of the details are finalized.
