Since the start of 2014, FC Dallas (by a fairly comfy margin) have the best regular season record of any team in Major League Soccer. In that stretch, Houston has failed to make the playoffs and have been an afterthought in the league. In that seem period outside of an anomalous 5-0 loss early last year, FC Dallas has put up a 6-0-2 record across all competitions against Houston. Houston has taken a backseat to Seattle, Portland (when it comes to quality), and San Jose (when it comes to goonery) when it comes to matchups of importance to the artists formerly known as the Hoops.
