Look at Indonesia going up 1-nil early on Saudi Arabia via a penalty in Jeddah. A huge moment.

Hm, wonder if Dallas knows anyone at Benfica they could call…

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.

No matter how much talent dons the jersey, and plenty have/currently do, it matters not. They’re a deeply unserious organization, and as such they’ll never reach the heights their fans deserve.

Relevant once again, just change out the coach’s name as necessary: www.dmagazine.com/sports/2022/...

The Wings’ Problems Run Deeper Than Vickie Johnson

Dallas' decision not to bring back the head coach for a third season is justifiable. But the organization needs a systemic overhaul even more than a coaching change.

100%. We’d also be having more convos about Osaze Urhoghide as best XI, and maybe even Bernie Kanungo as most improved (although that might not have as much juice). Even so, Musa deserves way more attention than he’s getting.

Arman Kafai @armankafai.bsky.social · 9d

If FC Dallas wasn’t so low in the table, we’d be talking about Petar Musa as an MVP candidate. When it comes to the definition of MVP for a team, he’s almost the perfect example. Leads the team in scoring by an insane margin, leads them in npxG, basically leads the team in xA.

Fox misspelling Dutch Meyer’s last name on that graphic just drives me bonkers. How do you not have someone fact check that with a single web search?

Today at Toros Talk I asked a question: should FC Dallas keep their current 5-2-3 formation going forward. A full breakdown plus verdict within. Subscribe for free to never miss an article. torostalk.com/should-fc-da...

Should FC Dallas keep the 5-2-3?

Coming into 2025 under new manager Eric Quill, FC Dallas' expected formation was 4-2-3-1. It's how Quill organized his teams in previous stops, and Lucho Acosta's arrival seemed to solidify that. Cue...

idk where the excellent post about doing what you can within your lane in times like these is, but…

today I got the news that some work I did helped get someone out from under tens of thousands of dollars of wrongfully imposed debt.

the only way nothing matters is if you quit trying.

Over at Toros Talk: FC Dallas only has six matches left in the regular season. As such, I found you six storylines to follow during that tenure including two men chasing history but in very different ways. Check it out and subscribe for free if you like it!
