Hoops focused on fast start
Far too many times this year, FC Dallas has put themselves behind the 8-ball by surrendering early goals. In their first 17 games, the Hoops have scored first on just four occasions and are 3-0-1 in those contests. However, when FCD has allowed their opponent to score first, the Hoops are 1-6-6.
Cooper, Toja excited for All-Star Game
On Tuesday morning, FC Dallas' two MLS All-Stars leave for Toronto. Rumors have been swirling around FCD about the possibility of Kenny Cooper and Juan Toja possibly leaving for Europe in the near future, but for now, the Hoops forward and midfielder are more focused on enjoying the all-star experience.
Hyndman still left searching
After just five minutes Saturday, FC Dallas found themselves down 1-0 to Colorado. But the Hoops responded with a pair of unanswered goals in the second half to take a 2-1 edge, after Kenny Cooper converted a penalty kick and fellow MLS all-star Juan Toja scored his first goal since March 30.
Hoops-Rapids tilt ends in draw
FC Dallas came back from a goal down and took the lead in the second half, but the Colorado Rapids immediately pulled level once again as the two teams played to a seesaw 2-2 tie Saturday night at Pizza Hut Park.
Hoops eye first league win since June
It has been 14 days since FC Dallas last played a league match. That was on July 4 when a goal by Abe Thompson in stoppage time saved the day for the Hoops as they were able to salvage a point with a 1-1 draw against Kansas City. But FCD has not been victorious against an MLS foe since June 15, when they beat Chicago 1-0 at home.
Young Hoops champing at bit
FC Dallas has the youngest roster in Major League Soccer and it might not be long before some of that young talent has pushed its way into the starting 11. Schellas Hyndman has been the Hoops' coach now for one month and several FCD rookies have already caught his eye.
Hoops seek big win before break
FC Dallas return to league action after nearly a two-week layoff when they entertain the Colorado Rapids at Pizza Hut Park. FCD is still trying to give Schellas Hyndman his first league victory as Hoops head coach, though they've played to a pair of draws in their last two games.
FCD revitalized after short break
FC Dallas have not played a league match since July 4. In between that game, a 1-1 draw with the Kansas City Wizards at Pizza Hut Park, and Saturday's home game against the Colorado Rapids, the Hoops have had just one match of any sort -- a loss to USL-1 Charleston Battery 3-1 last Tuesday in a U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal.
Hoops may have moves in store
There is little question FC Dallas is once again in the middle of a summer swoon. The Hoops are just 2-5-3 in their last 10 matches, winning just once each in May and June. Under new head coach Schellas Hyndman, who was officially hired on June 16, FCD is just 0-1-2 with two of a possible nine points.
