Anger at FC Dallas spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad12 Feb 2029

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.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Words at FC Dallas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nehuén Benedetti 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.

The dugout12 Feb 2029

Slade Starnes 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.

Market12 Feb 2029

Osaze Urhoghide placed on the list

FC Dallas have made Osaze Urhoghide available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Market12 Feb 2029

Still no ink between FC Dallas and Nicholas Simmonds

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at FC Dallas, another week without a signature from Nicholas Simmonds.

Match15 May 2028

Every point is an argument now for FC Dallas

Position 14 and 7 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market15 May 2028

Jack De Vries asks to leave FC Dallas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout15 May 2028

Stefan Cleveland 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.

Squad15 May 2028

A falling-out at FC Dallas

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

Squad15 May 2028

Home is on Anderson Julio's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; FC Dallas are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Match13 May 2028

Anderson Julio’s goal not enough for FC Dallas

Anderson Julio scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Los Angeles Football Club, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout15 May 2028

Daniel gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad15 May 2028

A row about effort at FC Dallas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matthew Evans was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Loan watch15 May 2028

Diego García wants to come home

“I did not go to Minnesota United FC to sit and watch. I want to come back to FC Dallas and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 7 matches say the rest.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

Osaze Urhoghide knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Osaze Urhoghide trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market20 Dec 2027

Jonny Shore linked with a move away

The name of Jonny Shore keeps appearing in other people's back pages. FC Dallas say nothing, which says plenty.

Market20 Dec 2027

FC Dallas put Tyler Hall up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Tyler Hall may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Match11 Sep 2027

No end in sight to FC Dallas's wait for a win

13 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at FC Dallas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad13 Sep 2027

6 saves: Daniel was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad13 Sep 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.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Ramiro wants one last season at home

Every long career reaches the week the last one is thought about. He would like it to be where he started, and FC Dallas know now that the thought has arrived.

Loan watch13 Sep 2027

Owen Howard has seen enough of GAIS

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at FC Dallas, and 0 appearances in 24 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

No hiding place for Osaze Urhoghide

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

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Ralph Priso left out for the big one

A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Ralph Priso will call it something else in private.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Christian Zardes was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the FC Dallas dressing room was either.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Jonny Shore gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Jonny Shore is on it.
