The Breakdown – FC Dallas at Sporting KC, June 2025

This club’s imbalance between home and road is off the charts. Four road wins and four road ties, 16 of the club’s 21 points. Just one win at home with 2 ties for 5 points. Twice as many losses at home.

The Breakdown – FC Dallas at Seattle Sounders, May 2025

The Breakdown – FC Dallas vs Real Salt Lake, May 2025

When you get a team below you in the standings on your home field, go up a man in the 58th minute, you should be able to get a victory. Thus, in many respects, this 1-1 tie with Real Salt Lake is quite a poor result.

The Breakdown – FC Dallas at Real Salt Lake, March 2025

That road win makes Dallas 2-0-1 on the road this year with 7 points, which ties last season’s road points (7 pts, 1-10-6) in just three games. Amazing.
