Happy birthday to 3rd Degree's (and The Ticket's) legendary Peter Welpton. He's been fighting the good fight for soccer with me for damn near 30 years.

Have a great one, my friend.

Looks like Lletget is on his way out. (As predicted by most observers.)

I've written this multiple times... but if we really are in #FCDallas "death of hoops" era...
The kit combo pictured here - red top, white shorts, & blue socks - should be the club's kit.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. #DTID

#FCDallas confirms that #DTID legend Matt Hedges will be signing a one-day contract to retire with the club this weekend.

Love it. Fantastic way to honor a club hero.

'Short- and long-term plans for the Texas Outlaws and Dallas Sidekicks, who will sit out the 2025–26 season'."

A point in Portland isn't bad, but everyone else got results.

Don't think 41 is going to be enough.
FCD needs 2 wins in 3, at least.

Someone at Texoma FC just stepped in it. I just got an email from [email protected].

It includes some text in latin of all things, that I will post the translate of.

#NTSC's Aaron Essell posted this pic, confirming the rumor of a training injury.

I'll take a guess that his season might be in jeopardy with just 4 games left. He's a key piece for Gall's team; that's a blow for their chances.

North Texas SC has seating charts for Mansfield Stadium up on their season ticket page. #NTSC

Images remind me a bit of Dyanmo's setup with some field-level seats, then suites, then larger upper sections. Tix packages look to run from $10 per game up to $40.
