Squad27 Sep 2027

The knee: Aaron Long out for 128 days

128 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. FC Dallas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Brooks Thompson says FC Dallas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Nobody could get near Olger Escobar

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match25 Sep 2027

Nobody wins at FC Dallas

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Ramiro falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at FC Dallas

Bernard Kamungo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match25 Sep 2027

FC Dallas rescue it on 94 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 94. Colorado Rapids had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Logan Farrington takes the honours

Marked 7.88 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, FC Dallas had the best player on the pitch.

Loan watch27 Sep 2027

Ran Benyamin wants to come home

“I did not go to Houston Dynamo to sit and watch. I want to come back to FC Dallas and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 27 matches say the rest.

Match21 Jun 2027

FC Dallas are in real trouble now

Position 13, 17 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market21 Jun 2027

Osaze Urhoghide hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FC Dallas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Tempers go at FC Dallas

Daniel was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match21 Jun 2027

The half-term report on FC Dallas

Position 13, 17 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

The manager makes an example of Alex Bonetig

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

Daniel asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Matt Tillman chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Words at FC Dallas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Caleb Swann is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match19 Jun 2027

FC Dallas draw a blank against San Diego Football Club

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. San Diego Football Club defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad10 May 2027

A fracture rules Osaze Urhoghide out for 32 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason FC Dallas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match8 May 2027

No mercy from FC Dallas

Los Angeles Football Club will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. FC Dallas were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match10 May 2027

FC Dallas are in real trouble now

Position 13, 8 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings10 May 2027

A brace, and Herman Johansson takes the afternoon — 8.20

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Herman Johansson provided it, and the 8.20 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad10 May 2027

A falling-out at FC Dallas

Herman Johansson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout10 May 2027

Matt Tillman: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout10 May 2027

No hiding place for Zane Monlouis

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Zane Monlouis, and the manager let it.

The dugout10 May 2027

Logan Farrington knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at FC Dallas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad10 May 2027

Caleb Swann falls out with a teammate over standards

Squad15 Feb 2027

Osaze Urhoghide breaks a bone — 123 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 123 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

Door shut on Ibrahim Sadiq

FC Dallas asked and Colorado Rapids said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

FC Dallas bid $1.2M for Efrain Morales

The offer went to CF Montreal this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market15 Feb 2027

Michael Collodi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FC Dallas can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

An offer of $470.0K for Taha Habroune

FC Dallas have gone to Columbus Crew with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Daniel in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Dallas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Caleb Swann signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Caleb Swann and FC Dallas agree another 4 years.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Caleb Swann falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Ricky Louis told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Ricky Louis has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at FC Dallas.
