It was a great surprise yesterday to hear from a long-time contributor to 3rd Degree, John Rivera. He’s a photographer from South Texas who has been kind enough to contribute photos to us since the early 2000s. Since before FC Dallas was FC Dallas in fact.
John sent me a bunch of pics to share with you all from the FC Dallas game at Austin this weekend.
Hope you enjoy them.
