In 2002, 2005, and 2006 Colorado traveled to Dallas and knocked them out of the playoffs (In 1997 we knocked Dallas out in Colorado). In 2009 Dallas faces a must win game at home to Colorado to keep their playoff hopes alive, while Colorado has a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win.

Defender Steve Purdy is once again a member of FC Dallas. Purdy joined the club in January, but was waived last week.

I've asked around and word is trickeling out from people close to the team that FC Dallas will re-acquire Steve Purdy just prior to today's roter freeze deadline to replace Anthony Wallace. Wallace has re-agrivated his knee and has a torn meniscus, which saw him dropepd from the US U20 team. Wallace will now be placed on season ending injured reserve by FCD which will make room for Purdy's return. Click to continue reading...
