March 8, 2010 FIRE GIVES DALLAS THE SLIP
Chicago prevails 3-0 on a muddy pitch
JACKSON, MS – It sounded good enough, this idea of a quick trip to Jackson to play long-time rival Chicago in a pre-season match. Perhaps they just should have called it mud wrestling instead. Apparently, the Fire was good “mudders” last Saturday because Chi-town slid past Dallas 3-0 in slippery-when-wet pitch conditions.
March 8, 2010 FCD TRADES FOR KEVIN HARTMAN
2nd round draft pick given to KC
FRISCO, TX--Most FCD fans are waiting eagerly on the promised-since-December striker signing for the team. But the prize in-hand is a new acquisition on the opposite side of the pitch—Kevin Hartman, longtime L.A. Galaxy net-minder, but more recently of the Kansas City Wizards.
March 4, 2010 FCD MUST PLAY-IN TO OPEN CUP
Dallas to face D.C. United in 1st game
Qualifying for the 2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was pretty easy if your team finished among the top six clubs last season. That was an automatic entry into the round of 16. Two more MLS teams will also qualify, but only after the nine-team “tier two” group plays through a knockout play-in qualifying tournament, which is where FC Dallas finds itself this season.
March 3, 2010 FCD TO HEAD BACK TO FLORIDA
To face Tampa Bay Rowdies, Union

February 28, 2010 HOUSTON DROPS DALLAS 2-1
Ferreira puts FCD on scoreboard first
It was just a preseason match, including trialists and rookies. But even so, Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo is a stinger because of the fierce emotion between the Texas and Western Conference rivals.
February 27, 2010 LAST CHANCE FOR TRIALISTS
FCD must be roster compliant March 1
So FC Dallas won’t be playing for the championship of the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida Saturday night. That’s to be expected when the team couldn’t make up a 1-0 deficit against Toronto FC, a team playing a man short the entire second half of the tournament semifinal Thursday night. The 1-0 halftime score stood for the rest of the game.
February 26, 2010 TORONTO FC BLANKS DALLAS 1-0
FCD meets Houston for 3rd place
From the beginning, nothing seemed right for Thursday night’s game between FC Dallas and Toronto FC. For starters, the temperature settled in the 30’s, not anyone’s vision of a soccer match in Florida. Toronto made good on its first chance, a strike by Ugandan trialist Vincent Kayizzi in the16th minute after an assist from Dwayne De Rosario.
February 23, 2010 DALLAS TRIMS REVOLUTION 2-0
Harris, Chavez in scoring roles
FC Dallas finally bit off a piece of MLS-quality competition and well, they liked it. Undoubtedly, it was the 2-0 victory fashioned over the New England Revolution that provided the joy in the Orlando scrimmage Tuesday.
February 21, 2010 FCD LAYS EGG AGAINST FIU

February 18, 2010 FCD FLIES TO FLORIDA
For training, MLS tournament
Dallas isn’t heading to the Sunshine State just for warmer temperatures, though that is a nice fringe benefit. After practice, FCD headed to Orlando, part of Hyndman’s plan for his team to face tougher competition. That is not to spite SMU, which FCD beat 4-0 Tuesday morning at adidas field in Pizza Hut Park. The Mustangs have always given the Red Stripes spirited competition. But one of the changes Schellas Hyndman wanted in this year’s preseason buildup to the season was more competition against other MLS teams.
February 15, 2010 FC DALLAS BLANKS SMU 4-0
