Mauro Diaz. The Argentinian’s departure from Frisco left a wake of destruction from which the club is still attempting to recover. The diminutive dynamo danced his way through defenders and sliced through opponents like a hot knife through butter. A proto-number 10, Mauro stood tall in Texas, causing defenders to shake in their boots whenever he had the ball at his feet. His eyes always up, poking and prodding waiting for the opening he needed to deliver the killing blow. Often times entire games revolved around the midfield maestro’s magnificence, as he would ignite the fire that FC Dallas needed to lay waste to their opponents.
