Squad

10 saves: AJ Marcucci was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match

The cup run ends for FC Dallas

1‑4 against Atlanta United FC, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

Oscar Gonzalez leads the rout of Vancouver Whitecaps

3‑0, and Oscar Gonzalez took the headlines on an afternoon when everything FC Dallas tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad

A day Oscar Gonzalez will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market

Donovan Parisian puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FC Dallas, and it is not being withdrawn.

The terraces

A cup hiding at Atlanta United FC leaves FC Dallas explaining themselves

1-4, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Market

FC Cincinnati come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and FC Dallas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

The dugout

David Weah keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” FC Dallas may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

FC Dallas sign JC Ngando for $580.0K

The paperwork is done: JC Ngando joins from Colorado Rapids in a deal worth $580.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Market

Lalas Abubakar puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FC Dallas, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Justin Dhillon 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.

Market

FC Dallas say no — this time

The offer from Djurgarden for Nicholas Simmonds was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

FC Dallas spend $850.0K to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $850.0K has been paid because Donovan Parisian is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Transfer targets

FC Dallas make their move for Ralph Priso

$590.0K on the table at Vancouver Whitecaps. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Shaq Moore 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.

Transfer targets

Too dear: FC Dallas walk away from Kalani Kossa-Rienzi

$290.0K was the most the club would pay and Seattle Sounders were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

Anderson Julio signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Anderson Julio and FC Dallas agree another 3 years.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at FC Dallas

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

In brief
