Welcome to week one of the 2025 MLS season, everyone. By all appearances, we have quite the spectrum of teams, from the La Machina types to the Model T types, and everything in between. As it is early days and a number of teams are playing internationally, there will be volatility and variability as things…

Dallas started strong in the first 10 minutes, earning four corner kicks and dominating possession.
And so another season begins, the 30th for FC Dallas and the 28th for us here at 3rd Degree. Come along for the ride, won’t you?

North Texas SC has signed holding midfielder Favour Aroyameh to an MLS NEXT Pro contract through the 2026 season, with a club option for 2027.
