Yup. Teams that don't pressure Takaoka (or drop into the right defensive spots) pay the price. He's SO good on the ball.
Shame on LAFC for not understanding that
Apple TV: Hop on the MLS train! We have a great playoff game for you!
Also Apple TV: Got you! We are going to be purposefully deceitful about game time!
Playing your audience for suckers is no way to engender a long-term relationship
LAFC v WhitecapsFC was billed as 730 CT start. It's now 840

FC Dallas was in 13th place in mid-July and not in the MLS playoff conversation.
Tonight with big performances from CB Osaze Urhoghide, FW Sam Sarver and GK Michael Collodi, FCD clinched 7th place with a 2-1 win over 10-man Vancouver
BIG thanks to former Mexico international Alina Garciamendez and former Panama international Candace Johnson for making our Pleasant Grove Soccer & Sports Girls Community Soccer Night special for this underserved area!
And thanks to WW Samuell HS for hosting!
Not too bad from #usmnt but β¦
-details in final 3rd
-a bit loose in defending transitions
Everything, not just βmostβ things, need to tight against good opposition
US down 1-0 in Austin against Ecuador at the break
This seems good ...
Petar Musa can match the FC Dallas single-season goals record today. Join us on the radio call (YouTube Burncast) as you synch up the Apple TV broadcast

Even last week - 98% FCD fans didn't know him.
So ... SURE! Of course he becomes 1st FCD man honored in '25 as MLS Player of the Matchday!

Crazy numbers out of the FC Dallas - St. Louis
match ... a 1-1 draw where FCD played a man down for 70+ mins
-St. Louis out-shot FCD 43-5 (!!)
-14 saves for FCD
-34 crosses and 15 corners for St. Louis
Ooof. Not a good finishing night for the home team
Absolutely correct!

Didn't get to post this last week but ... big thanks to FC Dallas for the recent media match. Always fun playing inside the stadium and meeting up with folks who follow / cover FCD. (And look at that guy! Eyes up. Command of the ball. Seeing the field. ... Also, my team wonπ)

Seems like the bigger question is: Do it now (and risk a slightly rushed decision-making process)? Or hold off until off-season?
08.08.2025 21:09 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0FC Dallas took a big swing here; everyone agreed it was worth a shot.
Today credit FCD for this:
When it was clear things weren't working out, the team cut its losses rather than chasing "sunk cost fallacy."
That is: it's never smart to keep throwing good money after bad.
You just move on.
There is a less-than-zero chance that an NYCFC player will one day turn up at the wrong baseball stadium for his soccer match

Good match! With a late @InterMiamiCF winner. Messi with two assists
