DALLAS, Texas - For Nico Estévez and his staff 2023 became an exercise in injury-related problem solving. Rather than aggressively moving their second-year project forward, it was all about holding the line, so to speak, and waiting for healthy reinforcements. Players and staff will reconvene in January, launching preparations for the club’s 29th MLS season.

DALLAS, Texas - Progress will not always be linear. Of course it would be nice if things worked that way, with tidy straight lines that point incontrovertibly north. But the pesky peaks and valleys will generally line the course toward significant accomplishment – and that applies over two planes of progress: individually and in the collective.

DALLAS, Texas - Once the buzz of accomplishment (MLS playoffs, y’all!) wears off it’s hard for anyone around FC Dallas to fall in love with this particular matchup. Seattle’s high stack of MLS postseason success comes into clear focus when considering these things. On the other hand, nobody around FC Dallas will look at this series and not see some pathways to success. The margin for error might be small, but there absolutely are reasons to believe FCD can advance in the best-of-three series.

DALLAS, Texas - The primary goal in MLS is always “playoffs.” It was ever thus. That was the call to action in the league’s 1996 debut, and post-season grace remains atop almost every club’s hard target list 28 years later. So, will FCD get there? Can Nico Estévez’s team, still hanging in there, but with one leg dangling precariously over the playoff ledge, punch a little harder and fight its way into a higher finish? Can FCD even keep its spot?

DALLAS, Texas - By now much of the FC Dallas community is familiar with the Bernie Kamungo story – the inspiring account of an out-of-nowhere prospect and former Tanzanian refugee who found a highly unconventional path into professional soccer. But there is another, completely different “Bernie Kamungo story” developing. It’s a splendid one, too. This one is also about opportunism - but a different kind of opportunism.
