Memorial Day training for FC Dallas, with a game on Wednesday no one with the technical side gets today off.
The first surprise of the day was that when I arrived at 8:30 am there was a bus with a Monterrey designation on its front unloading outside the locker room. It turns out the Tigres U-20 team was here to face a combined FC Dallas homegrown + U19 combined team at 10 am. I'll have a report on that after I finish this practice report.
The senior team came out to Field 8 shortly before 9 am (Field 1 is still closed for grass transition), training officially started at 8:30 but many times FCD does a chalkboard or film work session beforehand, which seems to have been the case today.
