July = Soccer

DFE, 

This July is going to be one of the most exciting soccer months that we have had since the World Cup. With the World Cup 1 year away, this will be a great month to remind everyone that July = Soccer!

Below is a list of all the soccer matches and details for the Month of July. Do yourself a favor, do as much as you can with this schedule, and embrace the greatness that is soccer.

ARE YOU READY!? 

Sunday June 30th – Confederations Cup Final 

Sadly, the USA is not playing in this years Confederations cup. However there are still a lot of great countries that are playing in this World Cup ess warm up tournament in Brazil. The last tournament was played in South Africa in 2009. Brazil are the defending Confederations cup champions, with the United States as the runner up, when Brazil defeated the USA 3-2 in the Championship final. The Confed Cup will start on June 15th, and will be broadcasted on ESPN.

Wednesday July 4th – FC Dallas vs. Chivas USA 

The FC Dallas 4th of July match is always a huge selling match regardless of how the club is playing. In this case, you can expect our talented squad to be looking for revenge against the only club that has beaten them through their first 9 matches. Chivas is a contender this year and will come in looking to remain in the playoff hunt. Expect FC Dallas to be in the hunt for the supporters shield. This match comes complete with the best fire work show in town! You will want to attend this match!

For tickets in 103 aka the Snake Pit, contact Keith Uhles at kuhles@fcdallas.net

Sunday July 7th – FC Dallas vs. LA Galaxy AWAY 

Anytime we play the LA Galaxy it’s a big match. Last time we played LA, our Keeper Raul Fernandez blocked a Landon Donovan penalty, and then our very own George John scored the game winner in the 87th minute. This gave LA their only loss on the season thus far. LA will be looking for a little revenge in this match! Expect a battle between first and second place!

Saturday July 13th – FC Dallas v Real Salt Lake – 8 pm CT 

This will serve as FC Dallas’ third match in 10 days! Not to mention their second home match in this July Texas heat! Thankfully the kick off will be at 8 pm. There is a chance that FCD could be missing a few key players due to Gold Cup matches going on. However, RSL will bring a strong squad in and will be looking to get revenge after they lost earlier this season in Dallas.

Tailgate will be in the South East lot of the stadium and will probably kick off after the USA Gold Cup match ends. Overall this will serve as a great day of soccer for the USA and FC Dallas!

The After party will be at our pub, the Frisco Londoner!! Wear your DFE shirt for your DFE Happy Hour prices!

Tuesday July 16th – United States v. Costa Rica – 7 pm CT (Gold Cup) 

Regardless of what we think, Costa Rica has declared the USA public enemy #1. Apparently, the USA used all of their tricks in the Denver world cup qualifier, and were able to make a blizzard come. Costa Rica soccer federation has now tried to change their stadium venue that will host the USA in our September world cup qualifier. This change is so that the USA players will have to face hostile, possibly dangerous fans, in order to give Costa Rica an advantage. Well before that match happens, Costa Rica will come up to play the USA in this 3rd and final group match. Most likely the USA and Costa Rica will be fighting for that #1 slot. This will go a long way in determining when we will face Mexico.

Gold Cup Semis in Dallas

HUGE MATCH WEEK!

DFE!! 

This week our first place FC Dallas will take on Portland and D.C. United! This is a very important week that can continue our dominance, or allow those clubs chasing us to catch up. FC Dallas is undefeated at home, and I promise you that the supporters, and the atmosphere, we have helped to create gives FC Dallas the home field advantage they need!

What do we need from you!? 

We need you to help us on this first Wednesday match of the year! We get Wednesdays are tough days to attend matches, but we need you all out in full force for this one! Portland is sitting in 3rd place in the Western conference and a win over us would close the gap on our lead. This is a big match, because if we defeat Portland and claim the 3 points, we will give ourselves a 9 pt gap heading into Saturday’s match vs. D.C. United. Right now FC Dallas is tied with the NY Redbulls on the most goals scored in the league, 15. However we have given up 9 goals through 9 matches. Once again, our home field advantage is showing though. We have scored more home goals then any other team in MLS.

Do yourself a favor. Look at your schedule and clear it for Wednesday and Saturday!  

WEDNESDAY @ 8 PM – FC DALLAS vs. PORTLAND
