I figure it'll be me and Pat on this thread…

Homegrown 18 year old Nolan Norris made the bench for FC Dallas against Minnesota.

My son played agaisnt him a long time and my daughter played with his sister.

Pretty cool.

Match is free opening week on Apple TV.

the new jerseys look bland AF on tv. totally boring, just like the game so far.

They look like they are wet on tv. Do not like.

I like the sponsor though. First time it's not a scam company.

Tonight's 11

Beautiful night in North Texas. Watching on my lanai.

Pomykal looks fully back, which we've been told would likely be the timeframe for him to fully recover from that surgery.
He's also getting involved in the offensive third again, I think he got stuck covering defensively for the team too much last year, and he is very impactful operating in the middle third and having the ability to surge forward.
Both with the ball, and also to disrupt and disposess the other team further up the field.

How'd they lol ok today? I put it on but Apple ruined the score so I had to watch live and only saw the last 10.

I'm told there's a way to hide the scores, but I can't figure it out.

Looks like Sebastien Ibeagha. Wiki says he grew up in Mo City and went to Hightower HS. Didn't attend A&M as he was playing soccer for Duke.

White dude at the end is Tanner Holley, who has two degrees from A&M and is on staff with the club as a "team administrator."

Ok watching again, the guy holding the camera is saying Texas A&M.

Nice 3 points tonight for FC Dallas on $1 hotdogs and $3 beers.

Amazing night for soccer. Wish more were out there

Jesus with the brace.

Was Pomykal out with suspension for yellow accumulation?

18 and 19 year old homegrowns Nolin Norris and Collin Smith make their MLS debut against KC last night.

FC Dallas is like a who's who of injuries.

Norris, a leftback, LCB, got the start in the 6 or 10. He's played the last few North Texas FC matches in central midfield. He played solid. No major mistakes, nothing bad, nothing good. About as solid as first match you can have.

Smith was picked on, and by all accounts, probably strategically a good call by KC. They overloaded that side. He was ok.

Jesus with a stat padding goal in the 90+X minutes for a 1-2 loss.

I have Apple TV but didn't pay for MLS season pass. Is tonight's game one of the free ones or do I need to pay for season pass, want to figure it out before kick...

Free. With apple tv
In case anybody wondering

Watching it now thx.

Maybe it's because I'm a former keeper but I don't understand how you can say Martinez didn't have a role in that goal. As a keeper, if a player is that close to the shot you have to expect a deflection and it affects your reaction.

Thats 100% how I view that rule too, and we had a goal disallowed where a player was even further away from the ball a game or two ago.
I dont think the game is rigged, but they absolutely overturned that because of Messi in my mind.

On that own goal it really looked like Marfan forget whether he was defending or scoring for a split second. That was really strange.

Folks in Dallas will be talking about the disallowed goal for a long time.
