What a week! FC Dallas go to Seattle in a playoff game everyone really wrote off. Despite a hell of a fightback, a couple of sloppy goals consign the Huntsmen to a 4-3 loss in extra time. North Texas SC did leave local soccer fans delighted as they won the USL League One final 1-0 over John Harkes’ Greenville Triumph. NTX Rayados also did what they do best and beat Innocentes FC 7-0 in the US Open Cup qualifiers. If you’re not watching some level of live local soccer, you’re just doing it wrong!
The regime change in Frisco was, of course, the biggest thing on everyone’s mind – a new head coach, a new technical director, a new head of soccer operations, and a doubling down on the FCD Academy to produce talent.
This last weekend during the FC Dallas MLS Cup Playoff game at Seattle Sounders, Jesse Gonzalez was involved in a dead ball incident with Seattle defender Nouhou.
The 2019 season has ended and North Texas SC reigns as USL League One Champions. It was a dominant season for NTXSC – first place most of the year, leading scorer, leading assist man, regular-season champions, and playoff champions.
The Dallas Cup has announced that the Brazilian duo of Atlético Paranaense and Vasco da Gama will compete in the Gordon Jago Super Group at Dallas Cup XLI in April.
I had intended to share this picture as a Throw Back Thursday post on twitter. It’s the only usable picture I have of a starting XI from that season.
By virtue of finishing 7th in the Western Conference in 2019, FC Dallas got a chance to dance this postseason. 7th-place being the lowest seed in the playoff, Los Toros were left with the unenviable task of traveling to Seattle to face the Sounders.
Local amateur juggernaut NTX Rayados continued their run for their record 9th straight US Open Qualification this weekend by knocking off Fort Worth’s best amateur side, Inocentes FC.
3rd Degree photographer Craig Marcho was there to catch the action and bring us the excellent pictures.
