MLS Post-Mortem: FC Dallas are way better than anywhere else in the league

Related Topics: Major League Soccer, FC Dallas

They haven’t mathematically clinched it yet, but after another three points against the Galaxy, FC Dallas can all but claim it. They’re five points ahead of the three teams directly behind them (Colorado and both New York teams) with two games remaining, and while the Rapids have games in hand, it’s hard to count on them getting three points every week. And so, Dallas have the Shield.

FCD play Seattle on the 16th and finish in LA on Decision Day, where they will, in all likelihood, be celebrating their second trophy of the year. They deserve it, because they are easily the most well put-together team in the league, and they have more talent than anybody else despite their lack of aging Europeans.
