BRING ON THE HEX

by DFE

By: Sean Miller

How can you describe as tough a draw that only determines when and where you play, not whom do you play?

Well, FIFA conducted the Hexagonal draw Wednesday night in Miami, Beach, Fla., and the United States will open against Honduras, Costa Rica and Mexico — the three teams in the six-team qualifying group that have played in the World Cup in the last two finals — as well as open and close on the road.

The USA, which is seeking to reach the World Cup finals for the seventh straight time, will open the final round of World Cup 2014 qualifying in the Concacaf zone Feb. 6 at Honduras, where it clinched its berth at the 2010 World Cup with a 3-2 win.

Jurgen Klinsmann’s team will also play Costa Rica and Mexico in back-to-back games. It will host the Ticos on March 22 and then travel to Mexico, where it has never won a qualifier, four days later.

The only team that might have a tougher draw is Costa Rica, which opens at Panama and the USA and then finishes up against Mexico at home.

If the USA is looking for a good omen, its home matches against Mexico and Jamaica will take place in the same slots that it beat them at home to clinch its berth in the 2006 World Cup and 2002 World Cup, respectively.

The U.S. draw:
Feb. 6: at Honduras
March 22: vs. Costa Rica
March 26: at Mexico
June 7: at Jamaica
June 11: vs. Panama
June 18: vs. Honduras
Sept. 6: at Costa Rica
Sept. 10: vs. Mexico
Oct. 11: vs. Jamaica
Oct. 15: at Panama

Dallas Football Elite 2012 Awards

by DFE

Although the season isn’t even close to being over we wanted to take a minute to thank all of our Dallas Football Elite members for their dedication, time, and overall commitment to our group! The DFE is nothing without it’s members. If you all don’t take the time to show up each week and cheer on FC Dallas with the rest of us, we wouldn’t be able to bring the continued support to the club that we do. The DFE is one of FC Dallas’ strongest supporter groups and the main reason is because of the friendships and the quality of people that continue to join us. Once again, thank you all for being apart of our great group! The future is very bright for Dallas Football Elite!

 

A FEW GREAT PICTURES OF OUR SEASON SO FAR! 

 

                                                           DALLAS FOOTBALL ELITE 2012 SEASON AWARDS!!!

All winners were voted on by the DFE group as a whole!

The DFE from day one realized that we were not your typical supporters group. Yes, we enjoy chanting and singing from time to time. However, the one true aspect of our group is the Heckle. The DFE lives to harass the visiting club. This is why we choose to sit where we sit. We have been extremely successful at heckling the visiting clubs each week, but we managed to do this without cursing at them! You try drinking beer and not cursing!? It’s hard!!

      DALLAS FOOTBALL ELITE’S MOST VALUABLE HECKLER AWARD 

“JON”

If you have ever had the chance to sit in section 103 and listen to Jon heckle, you definitely left the stadium with a smile on your face. Jon has been with the DFE from day 1 and is definitely one of our top members!

“Common Sense”

by DFE

Yes, sometimes when you hear the statement, “Season tickets” you can become overwhelmed and think that is way too big of a commitment for you. However, the DFE wouldn’t push for all of its members to be season ticket holders unless we knew how amazing of an opportunity this is for all. 

Being a season ticket holder doesn’t mean that you need to attend every game either. The DFE is about saving you money. The offer that FC Dallas is offering all who join the DFE is section 103 is phenomenal. In no professional sport will you ever have the opportunity to become a season ticket holder for so cheap!

Real quick…let’s think about this? 

Next season if you just come out to 1 match with the DFE in 103, you are going to pay $35 dollars per ticket. Yup, ticket prices in 103 went up! 

BUT, if you get on the 8 month payment plan you can pay $36 dollars a month for 8 months, total of $288. You will get all 18 home matches including all the DFE and FC Dallas benefits that come with being a season ticket holder!

I have heard some people say that they only attend half the matches. So let’s say you only attend half the matches next season. You will end up spending $315 dollars to come out half the time, when you could spend $288 and have tickets for every match regardless. If you wanna sell of the tickets you don’t use, you can. If you want to use the season ticket holder exchange plan to bring people with you, YOU CAN! 

It’s common sense. 

If you have had the opportunity to come out with the DFE in section 103, there is no doubt that you did not have a blast. Our group is open to all, we stand, we chant, we heckle, and we drink. We have families, kids, and people from all backgrounds in our section. As most of you that have been with the DFE know, once you come to our section, you are   immediately apart of our family! 

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT NEXT SEASON’S PRICES SO THAT YOU CAN SEE FIRST HAND HOW MUCH YOU ARE SAVING WITH THE DFE! 

As you can see from the seating chart, the DFE in 103 is now a Red section! This is brand new! 103 in the past was always a blue section. You can also see the regular price for season tickets in that section is now $630 dollars!! Yeah, I know…that’s ridiculously expensive! So think about it...if you call Filip today and tell him that you want in on the DFE deal in 103, he can lock you in for only $288 dollars! AND…he can put you on a payment plan that can be broken down into 8 payments of only 36 dollars!

DO YOU ALL SEE HOW OBVIOUS IT IS THAT FC DALLAS SUPPORTS US AND WANTS OUR SECTION TO GROW!! 

The best news after all that is….you are LOCKED into that price until 2015!! Do you hear that…as you can tell prices are gonna continue to go up. FC Dallas, MLS, soccer, is all growing in our country. FC Dallas is experiencing the highest attendance ever in the history of the club, and we’re losing this season!! If you get locked into this plan now your price moving forward will stay at $288!

This promotion is a once and a life time chance and most likely will never be offered again!

PHASE ONE of this process ends on Oct. 8th!

July 31-Oct. 8, 2012

BUT if you want the 8 month payment plan you need to call Filip today to get it! If you want until Oct 8th your payment plan will be reduced to 6 months, and so on.

***IMPORTANT***

We’re not trying to be salesmen to you all. We’re trying to grow our section in 103 and get you all into the stadium as many times as possible for the cheapest price possible.

THE DFE IS GROWING!! We are a fun group that loves FC Dallas, loves soccer, and loves creating a true soccer atmosphere for all! We want you to be apart of our family! 

Seriously,

contact Filip Prus the DFE’s ticket representative and get locked in today!
