-They have won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup once, in 1997 and finished as runners up in both 2005 and 2007,
-Their main “rival” in the MLS is the Houston Dynamo, both being in the same state, Texas but over the years a rivalry on and off the pitch between Dallas and Colorado has been brewing, that rivalry was rekindled in the off season between 2013 and 2014 when FC Dallas hired then Colorado Head Coach, Oscar Pareja,
-They qualified once for the Concacaf Champions League/Cup in their history, in 2011, thanks to their 2010 MLS Cup final appearance, getting eliminated in the Group Stage,
-They were eliminated by the Seattle Sounders in the Western Conference Semi Final in 2014,
Players to watch
-Mauro Diaz Midfielder, Designated Player, Argentina: Diaz has a tendency to find the back of the net from around the edge of the box, if you leave him there unchecked with a chance to curl the ball around the goalkeeper, you will regret it!
-Blas Perez Forward, Panama: Blas Perez has been the leading scorer for FC Dallas for the past three seasons and so far 2015 seems to follow the same patterns, when Perez scores, Dallas wins!
-Fabian Castillo Forward, Designated Player, Colombia: Having 24 goals in 118 games for FC Dallas doesn’t make Fabian the most consistent player out there, but when he combines with Perez and his able to open up space for Perez, the team as a whole is very dangerous offensively!
-Matt Hedges, Defender, United States: One of the most under rated defender in Major League Soccer, a very consistent presence on the backline, that is not flashy but always well placed and solid on set pieces,
-Two Canadian players are with FC Dallas, Kyle Bekker, Midfielder formerly of TFC and Tesho Akindele, who actually grew up in Colorado,
