FRISCO -- On the field, FC Dallas is all that every MLS team aspires to be.
FCD has already celebrated the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship and owns the best record in MLS this season. The FCD Academy won national titles this summer in the U-18 and U-16 age brackets, and its U-14 team finished the season unbeaten. Then last week EA Sports identified four FCD players among the top 11 MLS players under age 24.
